Abstract
China is in an Age of Economy Thriving and Technology Advancing. This strike increasing international visitors. In the foreigners, very few of them are able to communicate in Chinese, which means that it is significant to provide accurate information to the foreign friends by their understandable codes. For instance, in a hotel, a foreigner needs to know which way to go for their daily activities without enquiring at the reception desk. These requirements are served by public signs, e.g. the location of a canteen. Actually, this service is a challenge of Chinese people’s English level. In recent years, as a lack of contextually linguistic and cultural knowledge, there are some errors of translation on public English signs, resulting in some inconvenience to the oversea travelers. This paper will analyses these problems in root and then advance prospective resolutions.
