1。 Introduction

Nowadays, with the rapid development of Huai’an City’s tourist industry, more                                                                                   and more foreign tourists are willing to come on their sightseeing。 Therefore, it is particularly important for each tourist attraction in Huai’an to set up bilingual public signs and the translation of public signs is of great significance to the establishment of a city’s image。 However, the present situation of the translation of them is far from satisfaction and there are still some problems that can not be ignored in the translation of public signs in these scenic spots。 In the past, few people studied the translation of public signs, but recently much more experts start to do some researches on the translation of public signs。

Although many scholars and experts pay much attention to the translation of public signs at home and abroad, such as He Ziran (1997), Wang Qiusheng (2004), Pu Yinghui (2006) and so on。 And they study the public signs translation from different angels。 However, few of them have ever done researches on the present Chinese-English translation of public signs in third-tier cities and provided elaborate strategies to deal with it。论文网 75658公示语翻译的语言语用失误分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_86633.html
