Abstract:

翻译得体的公示语作为国际交流环境的重要组成部分，可为外国友人提供清晰的指引和提示，是建设国际化都市的重要窗口。然而笔者经实地调研发现在武汉街头有大量公示语都存在着翻译不规范、译本不统一等问题。本文阐述了生态翻译学与公示语英译的关系，以生态翻译理论为指导，从语言维、文化维、交际维三个维度出发分析公示语英译失误类型，旨在通过生态翻译学视角对公示语英译的错误从形成原因的层面进行更细致的分类，并分析生态翻译学对公示语英译的实践指导作用。并从加强译者的翻译素质及专业性以及提升翻译生态环境方面提出相应改进对策。
Proper English public signs, as a crucial window of building international cities, play a significant role in cultural communication environment to provide clear guidelines for international friends. However, many English public signs in Wuhan are found in improper translation resulted from lacking of uniform standards, etc. Eco-translatology was first proposed by Hu Gengshen. As an original translation theory in China, eco-translatology theory combines translation and ecology from the perspective of ecological rationality to provide a corresponding translation paradigm for translation text research, translator identity research and external ecological research of translated text. The relationship between eco-translatololy and translation of public signs is expounded in this paper. Under the guidance of the eco-translatololy theory, authors analyze the type of problems in English public signs from three dimentions—language, culture and communication, and propose corresponding strategies for improvement. This paper aims to classify the errors in the English translation of public signs from the perspective of eco-translatology in a more detailed way, especially the reasons for the errors, and put forward corresponding countermeasures from the aspects of the professional quality of translators and the translational eco-environment.
