9、ng，才更加传神，更富诗意！这在承德的外八庙翻译中有精彩的体现，如：普宁寺(The Temple of Universal Peaceful)，普佑寺(The Temple of Universal Bless and Protect)，普乐寺(The Temple of Universal Happy)， 溥仁寺(The Temple of Universal Kindheartedness)，烟雨楼（The Tower of Mist and Rain），水心榭（The Mid-lake Pavilion），烟波致爽殿（The Hall of Refreshing Mists and Ri

12、寺”译成了“Fragrant Rock Templc”，应“Fragrant Rock Temple”。在大连金石滩旅游度假区的“贝多芬头像”景点附近，有一巨石突兀而起，四面临海，游客常常在此观光留影。为安全起见，四周装上了围栏，怕外国游客看不懂，还写上英语警示：Out of the Fence!(翻越围栏)，这该不是害人家吧？！而在河北白洋淀的导游牌上，“红菱”被硬硬地翻译成Red Ling 。菱角有对应词的，应改为Red Water Chestnut。这里常常有外国人参观，我看后实在汗颜！玉渊潭公园，是北京市八大公园之一。为迎接樱花节，公园照例梳妆打扮一番。除了各种彩灯、彩旗等装饰物外，围

13、绕湖的道路两旁立了许多别致的标牌，内容都是2008奥运比赛项目，每个标牌上有象征某个运动项目的示意图像，并注有中文。 为了与“国际接轨”，在中文下面还写上了英文。显而易见，这些标牌是为了突出奥运主题。这一切都做得可圈可点。但稍微懂点英文的人会发现，标牌上的英文错得一塌糊涂，洋相百出，有些简直叫人笑破肚皮。不妨举几个例子：田径，英文写成 farmland path (应为athletics or track and field)；体操，写成 body hold (应为 gymnastics)；举重，写成 lift weight (应为weight lifting)； 篮球，写成 a ball (

14、应为basketball)；射击，写成shoot the shot (应为 shooting)；更滑稽的是，摔跤，写成 fall of the (应为 wrestling); 柔道， 写成 the soft way (应为 judo, 来自日文)；铁人三项，写成 three iron men (应为 triathlon)只有游泳 (swimming)、拳击（boxing）等少数写对了。三峡博物馆参观须知里，“闭馆前一小时停止售票”被译成“Ticket office stops work one hour before closing”，由于英语里面没有“stops work”的表达方式，因此正

15、确的翻译应将它改成“closes”。另外，“严禁携带刀具和易燃易爆等危险物品入内，禁止带宠物进入馆内”中，“禁止带入”被译成“prohibited to carry-into”，而正确翻译是“prohibited”。济南大明湖的英语简介患有多处语病:1 “四面荷花三面柳，一城山色半城湖”被译作：Lotus on foui Sides and willows on three, Mountains outside and a lake within. 其中Lotus应为复数Lotuses，与willows平衡；foui刻错，应为four。2 铁玄纪念堂中：Tie Xuan Commemorate

16、 Hall was originally built in Qing Dynasty (1792 AD ) in commemorate of Tie Xuan.划线部分应为 Commemoration Hall和in commemorating of。再， The figure is so life-like that its eyes seem to tell us something uncommon. 其中its至少应为its 最好是 his。3 船码头处：Visitor can also use the boat ticket to arrive Tie Xuans Temple o

17、r Main Gate，arrive后面少了介词。应为arrive to 或 arrive at。四门塔的英语简介也有类似的问题，It is well know in the world with its simple and stately structure.。其中know 应为过去分词known。更可笑的是“小唐塔”(Little Tang Pagoda)的英语介绍是“小宋塔”，而“小宋塔” Little Song Pagoda) 的英语介绍反倒是“小唐塔”！在山东邹城峄山的导游图上，“海豹石”译成了“Sea leopard stone”，应为“Seal Stone”； “盘龙洞口”译成

21、成了“pleasc”。 “旅游定点单位”被译成“FIXED TOURISM UNIT”。 “FIXED的中文翻译是固定的，含有强迫、必须的意思，整句翻译让人理解为“到古镇游玩必须到此地”，正确翻译是“OFFICIAL TOURISM UNIT”，因为“OFFICIAL”是官方指定的意思。青岛在旅游、文化方面，标准将对旅游景点通名和文化场所通名进行规范，如“植物园”应译为“BotanicalGarden”，“崂山”应译为“LaoshanMountain”或“MtLaoshan”，“文化馆”一般应译为“CultureCenter”，“二十四小时服务中心”应译为“24HourServiceCente

23、rement，protect the earth”则被翻译为“热爱自然 保护生态”。 “the main entrance exporting（正门出口）”中的exporting实际上是商业贸易的出口，应改为“exit”，即“the main entrance exit”；“Pleasr notes safe ofchildren”在英语中应表达为“Caution!Be careful of childrens safety！”而“热爱自然保护生态”的正确表述则应该是“Loving enviorement;protecting the earth”。 如果用 No kindling来翻译严禁火种的话，还不如用
