中式英语之鉴

《对外宣传中的英语质量亟待提高》

一、望文生义，不符合英语表达习惯的翻译，即所谓Chinglish： 举例： 胶水 glue 不准拍照 No photography 当心碰头 Mind your head 拳头产品fist product/key product 黄金地段hit area 看世界（电视栏目）open to the world 免淘米

二、不符合国际上通用惯例的翻译，主要指一些常用的专门术语： 举例：

外向型产业export-oriented industry 保税区 bonded area 小商品博览会 small commodity fair/ Internaional Commodities Fair

三、汉语中某些地道的简略语英译后令人难以理解： 举例：

五讲四美 five strees and four points of beauty 三通three exchanges(of mail, trade, air and shipping services)

四、意思译走样的翻译： 举例：

进出口商品结构 structure of imports and exports;commodity composition of imports and exports;pattern of import and export merchandise;lineups of imports and exports;

机场班车 airport shuttle 空调公共汽车 an air-conditioned bus（海南岛）天涯海角Ultima Thule，五、只顾词语的字面意思，而不顾其特殊含义的翻译： 举例：

Humanity Olympics 科技奥运

Scientific Olympics 在不了解中外文化差异情况下的文化移植： 举例：

六、以汉语拼音权充翻译： 举例：

七、说话的语气或口气不当，影响对外宣传效果： 举例：

 旅客登记时，须凭足以证明本人身份的有效证件，并说明住宿原因。

 旅客必须遵守宾馆饭店的规章制度，服从工作人员的管理，爱护饭店的公共财物。„„

对违反上述规定的旅客，饭店有权责成改正。译文：
