Businesscentre標(biāo)識的翻譯技巧去繁從簡(thesimplethebetter)

根據(jù)原語所處的具體語境，充分解釋原語所隱含的意義，把原語的意圖表達(dá)出來，而不用拘泥于字面的意思。例：杭州是我家，清潔靠大家

。Hangzhouismyhome,itsclearnessdependsonallofus.或者“KeepOurCityClean.”注意安全，請勿攀爬單邊墻。

Payattentiontoyoursafety.Don’tclimbthesinglewall.或者是“Noclimbing.”遵從習(xí)慣(complywithEnglishcustom)標(biāo)識語是一種特殊的題材，其表達(dá)方式是根據(jù)長期習(xí)慣而形成的，翻譯時(shí)不能僅僅根據(jù)漢語的字面意思生硬地表達(dá)，而應(yīng)遵從英語的習(xí)慣。

例：小草微微笑，請你走便道。

Littlegrassissmilingslightly;pleasewalkonpavement.“Keepoffthegrass.”前方修路，請慢駕駛。Roadworkahead.單行道Oneway“公共標(biāo)志”書寫小技巧：1、公共標(biāo)志詞語開頭要大寫2、表示“禁止做某事”的公共標(biāo)志,

可以套用“No+動(dòng)詞ing”形式3、一般的公共標(biāo)志末尾無標(biāo)點(diǎn)，如特別進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)的可以加標(biāo)點(diǎn)，例如：“Danger!”程式化套譯禁止做某事No+名詞/動(dòng)名詞表示“專用”名詞+Only請勿做某事Donot+動(dòng)詞Whatshouldwedo?NosmokingNoparkingNolitteringDonottouchNoeatingordrinkingKeepoffthegrassBequietDanger!禁止做某事No+名詞/動(dòng)名詞NoTurn/NoUTurnNoAdmittance/No

以上三類只是對一般情況的總結(jié)，要窮舉是不可能的，比如…Therightwordsontheboard:UrbanpublictransportThisstation
