Jokes about the official logo should be bilingual. thank you

English signs are full of jokes.

The English signs in Guangzhou are confusing and have been criticized. Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision said that there is no unified English translation of public place signs in Guangdong Province. At present, there are some problems in the translation of bilingual signs in many public places, and some English translations are far from the original intention of Chinese. The mistakes of Chinglish logo and simple grammar will confuse international tourists and damage Guangdong's modern and open international image.

According to relevant sources, there are two main problems in most English signs in Guangzhou: first, improper English words are inconsistent; Second, many English signs are still using the "Chinese character method". Baiyun International Airport has been exposed by the media before. For example, the "parking building" here is translated into "parkinggarage", but on another sign less than 20 meters apart, the same "parking building" is translated into "carparkbuilding". In the departure hall of the airport, the sign "Go ahead for 30 meters" is directly translated as "Go ahead for 30 meters". According to the usual method, ahead will not be followed by nouns, which makes foreign passengers very uncomfortable and even a little funny. In fact, the simplest and most direct expression should be "30m ahead".

"W.C." has a vulgar meaning.

The standard stipulates that toilets, toilets and toilets should be translated as "toilets" in a unified way, and when it comes to gender, men's toilets should be translated as "gent/men"; The ladies' room translates as "lady/woman". The pronoun "W.C.", which was originally known to the public, will be completely banned.

According to relevant sources, the meaning of "W.C." is not much different from that of "toilet", but rhetorically, the former gives people the impression that it is vulgar and unsanitary, while the latter is elegant. "WC" is the abbreviation of "toilet". Nowadays, many western countries don't use "W.C." to represent toilets at all. In English, the connotation of "W.C." can be understood as toilet in Chinese.

In addition, the Code stipulates that restaurants and restaurants are translated as "restaurants", and pubs and hotels specializing in drinking and taking a nap are translated as "pubs".
