Abstract

With the deepening of China's internationalization process, more and more international friends come to China for tourism, business, visit and study. Large and medium-sized cities have English signs in public places, and bilingual signs can be seen everywhere. We can say that the city public sign is the name card of a city and the symbol of a city civilization. The quality of bilingual sign reflects the internationalization level of a city. This paper aims to analyze the current situation of public signs through examples, and briefly analyze the causes of mistranslation, so as to put forward some beneficial countermeasures and suggestions to solve and eliminate such problems and create a good language environment.
