摘要/Abstract

随着我国与世界各国之间的经济文化交流的日益增多，城市公共场所需要更多正确规范的双语公示语。本文拟通过公示语翻译的实例，对公示语英译的现状进行分析，并将公示语进行分类，即通用公示语和具有中国特色的公示语，来分别探讨这两类公示语的英译策略及其理论依据。

Public signs in English are essential to the development of international exchanges in China. The paper discusses the existing problems of such public signs, classification of signs as well as applicable principles of translation, and concludes that all things considered, the translator should adopt a target language-centered approach and should, on the basis of that, strive to negotiate the differences between Chinese and western cultures, with an aim to ensure the target audience’s accurate and obstruction-free comprehension of the messages public signs convey.
