The Influence of Slogan Translation Errors

Introduction: Some subway station names in Chengdu are accused of being confused in translation. These translations should lead to some misleading mistakes, especially those who have never been to Chengdu before. They suddenly come to a strange place and see so many different translations, which will definitely be misleading. Therefore, it is suggested that Chengdu Metro unify these things to avoid unexpected situations.

First of all, these translations will lead to misleading mistakes.

Most people in China have to read Chinese characters before taking the subway. As long as the Chinese characters are correct, the position is basically correct. But some people can only understand English. In the process of reading English, they will find something different, which may directly affect their destination. In Chengdu, some subway station names are accused of being confused in translation, which should lead to misleading mistakes. Some people say that this has been recognized by the society, but it is recognized.

Second, the pronunciation is not uniform, which will bring misunderstanding to others.

We should know that railway stations, subways and high-speed trains are all important image windows of the city, so translation must be unified, which is better and more convenient. If foreigners see such a translation, they should be puzzled. Pinyin and English can be used, but there can be no inconsistent translations.

Thirdly, it takes some time and energy to unify the names of these stations.

Bian Xiao believes that the names of stations near tourist attractions and stations above subway stations must be unified. Sometimes it is not just a name, but also a historical connotation. If these things are not standardized, it is estimated that they will also affect others' views on our country. So I suggest that they do an investigation another time, and then take some time and have the energy to unify these things. This can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
