1 Introduction
Public signs, open to the public and for reaching some communicative goals, have a significant impact on people’s daily life. With the deepening advances in Chinese reform and open up, most domestic public signs have both Chinese and English versions to accommodate to her pace of internationalization. Given the rising international status and the leading role in international affairs, people abroad are eager to know more about China, so the translation of public signs are of great importance.

The 2nd Youth Olympic Games(YOG or Nanjing 2014) will be held in Nanjing in 2014, providing a great opportunity for Nanjing to demonstrate her new image. Public signs of Nanjing 2014, integrating the spirit of Youth Olympic Sports and the city’s culture, highly summarize and illustrate the idea of Youth Olympic culture. Proper translation of public signs does good for Nanjing, even China to build a friendly and civil image to the world and strengthen her capability to propagandize. However, mistakes exist in many Chinese-English(C-E) public signs translations, such as linguistic errors, cultural loss and defective communication objectives. Consequently, tourists from abroad will be misled and puzzled by these mistakes or have a misunderstanding of China. 从生态翻译理论视角看公示语的翻译:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_15857.html
