去繁从简
“青岛是我家，清洁靠大家” Qingdao is my home, its cleanness depends on all of us. Keep Our City Clean.
We have been so busy, and day after day has brought such exciting news, good and bad, that I haven't had time and composure to write in my diary for weeks. I like to keep it up regularly, for father says a diary of the years of the war should be a very interesting thing to hand down to one's children. The trouble is, I like to write a few personal things in this blessed old book that might not be exactly what I'd want my children to read. I feel that I shall be a far greater stickler for propriety in regard to them than I am for myself!
遵从习惯

“前方修路，请慢驾驶” Road Work Ahead

程式化套译

例如：严禁拍照 （No Photography）、禁止通行 （Don’t
Walk）、严禁超车（Overtaking Prohibited）、禁扔废弃 物（No Littering）

为什么学习公示语翻译
随着中国国际地位的提升和中国经济的快速持续发展，中国加入世 界贸易组织以及其他国际组织，同中国及中国人民打交道的国家和国 际组织越来越多，到中国经商、旅游、学习的外国人与日俱增。近年 来，中国先后成功举办了奥运会、世博会和亚运会，世界了解了中国， 中国也走向了世界。公示语不仅为公众提供信息服务，也是外国人了 解中国的一种重要途径，已经得到了空前的重视，公示语研究成果也 非常丰富。遗憾的是，有些论文和研究成果限于纸上谈兵，在各种场 所如商场、饭店、景点等地充斥了五花八门的错误。因此，讨论公示 语翻译具有重要的现实意义。公示语涉及到人们的食、宿、行、游、 娱、购等行为，应用范围非常广泛，其翻译事关城市和国家形象，事 关中国的文明水平，事关中国语言环境的改善，因此，探讨公示语翻 译有助于提升城市形象，同时也有助于语言教育，本单元主要讲述公 示语的语言特征和翻译技巧。

表示“专用”：名词 + Only 员工专用：Staff Only 贵宾专用：VIP Only 请勿做某事：Do not + 动词 请勿触摸：Do not touch 请勿扔垃圾：Do not litter

Ingleside 20th June 1916 壁炉山庄，1916年6月20日
We have been so busy, and day after day has brought such exciting news, good and bad, that I haven't had time and composure to write in my diary for weeks. I like to keep it up regularly, for father says a diary of the years of the war should be a very interesting thing to hand down to one's children. The trouble is, I like to write a few personal things in this blessed old book that might not be exactly what I'd want my children to read. I feel that I shall be a far greater stickler for propriety in regard to them than I am for myself! The first week in June was another dreadful one. The Austrians seemed just on the point of overrunning Italy: and then came the first awful news of the Battle of Jutland, which the Germans claimed as a great victory. Susan was the only one who carried on. 'You need never tell me that the Kaiser has defeated the British Navy,' she said, with a contemptuous sniff. 'It is all a German lie and that you may tie to.' And when a couple of days later we found out that she was right and that it had been a British victory instead of a British defeat, we had to put up with a great many 'I told you so's,' but we endured them very comfortably.
