城市公示语代表了一个城市的国际对外形象,而公交系统公示语乃是维护城市形象的重中之重。然而,宁波作为一个对外开放的港口城市,内外交流频繁,其在公示语的翻译上却仍有诸多错误。有鉴于此,本课题研究组将系统而全面地搜集、整理、审视宁波整个公交系统的公示语翻译现状,发现其中的存在问题,分析其产生的原因并提出解决方案。 City publicity signs represent the international image of a city, while publicity of the public transportation system is the most important thing in maintaining the city’s image. However, Ningbo, as a port city open to the outside world, has frequent exchanges both inside and outside China. There are still many mistakes in the translation of public signs. In view of this, the research team will systematically and comprehensively collect, collate and examine the status quo of the translation of public signs in Ningbo’s entire public transportation system, discover the existing problems, analyze the causes and propose solutions.
