| Abstract | With the rapid progress of economy, the intensification of China’s reform and opening-up policy, as well as the successful celebration of a number of great global events, China is attracting more attention worldwide and myriad foreign visitors stream into China. An increasing number of public signs are presented in both Chinese and English which are regarded as a symbol of a city’s internationalization degree. However, the frequent problems in the translation of public signs degrade China’s international status as a major role on the global platform. Mistranslation of public signs is an emergent issue that needs immediate attention. |
