announcement。

between major radio or television programs。作为动词，“插播广告”可以译为 to insert
commercials。

insert commercials freely。
        　　“植入广告”指把产品及其服务具有代表性的视听品牌符号融入影视或舞台产品中，以求给观众留下印象，是一种营销手段。英语可以译为product
placement。“植入广告”又称“植入式营销”，可以译为product placement marketing 或embedded
marketing。
        　　例如：3. 植入广告是一种将产品融入电视节目、电影等传媒产品之中以进行宣传的广告形式。Product placement is a form of
advertisement which incorporates a product into such a media product as a
television programme or a film so as to publicize it。
        　　例如：4. 这位专家认为在新闻频道和儿童及青少年频道应该禁止植入式营销。The expert holds that embedded
marketing should be prohibited in news channels and channels for children and
young adults. 作为动词，“植入广告”可以译为 to embed a product。
