This paper starts with the definition,classification as well as the functions of tourist publicity materials（TPM）,and summarizes the problems in TPM translation.It proceeds to reveal that the deep-rooted cause of translation errors lies in the striking cultural differences between China and the West.However,the remarkable thinking mode differences and the linguistic differences stemming from it form the obstacles for TPM translation.Through a deep analysis of the thinking modes,this paper holds that in order to get the ideal translation,translators have to adapt to the thinking conventions of the target language and make adjustment to the target text,so that the translation can acquire the better effect.
