搜索关于街头错别字调查告报英语作文Graffiti Misspellings: A Linguistic Exploration.Graffiti, the unauthorized markings on public property, has become an integral part of urban landscapes worldwide. While its legality and aesthetic value are often debated, graffiti serves as a unique form of artistic expression and social commentary. However, amidst the vibrant colors and bold strokes, one often overlooked aspect of graffiti isits linguistic idiosyncrasies, particularly the prevalence of misspellings.This paper presents the findings of a comprehensive survey conducted to examine the nature and extent of misspellings in graffiti. The survey analyzed over 500 graffiti samples collected from various neighborhoods in a major metropolitan area. The results reveal a fascinating pattern of misspelling behaviors, reflecting not only the educational and linguistic backgrounds of graffiti writers but also the social and cultural context in which graffitiis produced.Methodology.The survey employed a systematic sampling method to collect graffiti samples from a wide range of locations, including public walls, buildings, bridges, and abandoned structures. The samples were photographed and transcribed, and each misspelling was identified and categorized. The analysis focused on two primary types of misspellings:Phonetic Misspellings: These misspellings occur when a writer mishears or misunderstands the pronunciation of a word, resulting in an incorrect spelling that soundssimilar to the intended word. For example, "defenently" instead of "definitely."Non-Phonetic Misspellings: These misspellings result from errors in spelling that are not related to pronunciation. They often stem from a lack of formal education or exposure to correct spelling practices. For example, "teh" instead of "the."Results.The survey revealed a significant prevalence of misspellings in graffiti, with approximately 60% of the samples containing at least one misspelling. Phonetic misspellings constituted the majority of errors, accounting for over 75% of all misspellings. Non-phonetic misspellings, while less common, were still prevalent, indicating a lackof basic spelling skills among some graffiti writers.The most commonly misspelled words in graffiti included: Definitely.Their.There.Here.Words.These words are frequently used in graffiti and are often misspelled due to their irregular pronunciation or spelling rules.Discussion.The high prevalence of misspellings in graffiti suggests that educational and linguistic disparities exist among graffiti writers. Many graffiti writers come from marginalized communities with limited access to formal education, which can result in poor spelling skills. Additionally, graffiti is often created quickly and spontaneously, leaving little time for careful spelling.However, the presence of phonetic misspellings also hints at the influence of local accents and dialects on graffiti language. Graffiti writers may hear and use words in ways that differ from the standard spelling, leading to misspellings that reflect their own linguistic experiences. This linguistic variation adds a unique dimension to graffiti, providing insights into the social and culturalcontexts in which it is created.Misspellings in graffiti can also serve as a form of artistic expression. Graffiti writers may intentionally misspell words to create a specific aesthetic effect or to convey a particular message. By distorting language,writers can challenge conventions and subvert traditional forms of communication.Conclusion.The misspellings found in graffiti are not simply errors; they are linguistic artifacts that shed light on the diverse backgrounds, motivations, and experiences of graffiti writers. They reflect the educational and social disparities that exist within urban communities and provide insights into the cultural and linguistic dynamics of graffiti production. By examining these misspellings, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of graffiti as a form of artistic expression and social commentary.In addition to the linguistic aspects, future research on graffiti misspellings could also explore the role of misspellings in graffiti subculture and their potential impact on literacy and education. By further investigating the linguistic idiosyncrasies of graffiti, we can contribute to a more nuanced and informed understanding of this vibrant and often misunderstood form of urban art.。

Sign TranslationIntroductionIn modern society, the economic development and international exchanges have given rise to a growing need for signs and their translation. As an important part in the daily life of foreigners living in China, translation of public signs has close relationship with the image of China in the world.Probl ems and correctionsChinese-English public sign translation concerns cross-cultural communication, much more factors should be taken into consideration. Due to language and cultural differences, there are a number of problems in the translation of public signs such as direct pinyin and spelling mistakes, lexical and diction problems, grammar mistakes, unconventional expressions and improper tones.In the survey, we put emphasis on these four aspects. Following translation errors are mentioned and analyzed.1.Direct pinyin and spelling mistakesSample analysis 1:“HANGZHOU CHENYU SHIYE TOUZI YOUXIAN GONGSI” is completely a pinyin translation.Our advice translation is “Hang Zhou Chen Yu Industrial Investment Co. Ltd”.Sample analysis 2:“HANGZHOU GONGCHEN GUFEN JINGJI HEZUOSHE” had better translated into “Hang Zhou Gong Chen Economic Shareholding Cooperation”.Sample analysis 3:“XINCHUANG YILIAO MENZHEN”had better translated into “Advice translation: Bin Jiang Xin Chuang Medical Clinic”.Sample analysis 4:“TAXI” and “STATION” are two separate wards. We can’t combine them.Sample analysis 5:It has an obvious spelling mistake. ‘shoping’ should be ‘shopping’. Besides, the translation here is wordy. A ’shop’ or a ‘store’ is enough.Sample analysis 6:“Bing” should be corrected to “Bin”, “Baijie” to “Bajie”, “Coinic” to “clinic”, “Sermice” to “Service”.2.l exical and diction problems用词不当Sample analysis 1:We had looked over the surrounding area which was the lounge. In terms of this situation, we think it proper to turn ‘stop’ to ‘No motor vehicles and cycling’.Sample analysis 2:“Oak” is a large tree with hard wood. It is usually made to furniture. While “R ubber” is a substance made from the juice of a tropical tree or artificially. It is used to make tyres, boots etc.Plastic can be used as a plurality. There is no need to add “S” to “plastic”.So “OAK & PLASTICS” should be changed into “RUBBER & PLASTIC”.Sample analysis 3:The translation of “POWER CABLE&WIRE”borrows the English equivalents directly. According to our comprehension, we should translate “电力线缆” into “ELECTRIC WIRE&CABLE”.Sample analysis 4:Cruise means a ship that people have holidays on. It is more suitable for the meaning of Chinese word “游船”.So in conventional expression, West Lake Pleasure Boat had better been corrected into West Lake Cruises.Sample analysis 5:The “堂” in Chinese has the meaning of house. So it is unsuitable to translate the “草堂”into “Pavilion”. We suggest correct Xixi Straw Pavilion into Xixi Thatched Cottage. 3.grammar mistakes语法错误Sample analysis 1:The phrase, “highly quality goods”, should be corrected into” goods of high quality”. Reason: ”quality” is a noun but highly is adv, which can not decorate noun .” Otherwise, “goods of high quality” is more conventional.Sample analysis 2:“Festive” should be corrected into”Festival”Reason: “购物节” is a noun in China ,but the “Festive” is adj which can not be matched with the “购物节”.Sample analysis 3:It is a literal translation, even the word-for-word translation. Sometimes this strategy will lead to English signs of poor readability and almost incomprehensibility.Sample analysis 4:“The best of public toilets” is a wrong and confusing phrase. Taken the meaning and grammar into consideration, we put forward the translation of “One of the top ten toilets in the public places in Hangzhou”.Sample analysis 5:“ancestors”should be corrected into”ancestor”.Reason: Bian Que is one person ,but the “ancestors” is plurality. So we should omit the “s”.Sample analysis 6:“take good” , the translation of “带好”, is a wrong phrase. “Please take good personal luggage” should be corrected into “Please take your personal belongings with you”.Sample analysis 7:These two expression are incomplete translations because there will definitely some words after “from” and “and”in the signs. We should add “A far” to the “Peak Flying F rom” and “Art” to the “Photo Exhibition by City College of and De sign”.4.unconventional expressions and improper tonesSample analysis 1:Because the sign are usually concise, the “入站口”just can be translated to “entrance” and “出站口” to “exit”.Sample analysis 2:By searching the internet and discussing with our foreigner, we prove it that “Beware of Fire Hazard” is more used. What’s more, the first letters in each word should be capitals. Sample analysis 3:“楼外楼”is given two different translations of “Lou Wai Lou Restaurant” and “Tower Beyond Tower”. The same example also comes to ”浙江博物馆”with translations of “Zhejiang Provincial Museum” and “ZHEJIANG MUSEUM” in different places.From the artistic and unitary aspects, we had better choose the “Tower Beyond Tower”and “ZHEJIANG MUSEUM”.Sample analysis 4:The “Xiang” and “Long” should be corrected into lane.Reason :”Lane” has the meaning of “小街、小巷” in China. “Xiang” and “Long” will be confused by the foreigners.Sample analysis 5:“西湖”has been a proper noun. It should be corrected into “West Lake”.Sample analysis 6:In the fifth sentence, the “keeping ” and preventing ” should be corrected into “keep ” and “”prevent ”. Reason: the sentence is an imperative sentence. If we do not omit the “ing ”, the sentence will lack the predicate.ConclusionIn order to bring direct guide and convenience to foreigners in China and transmit specific Chinese culture, it is necessary for us to pay more attention to them.We hold that translation of public signs should be paid more attention to the sign receivers, more regulations on translators and management of translation of public signs, more cooperation between experts at home and abroad, and more combination of translation theory and practice.。

关于街头错别字的研究报告的英语作文500

全文分为作者个人简介和正文两个部分：作者个人简介：Hello everyone, I am an author dedicated to creating and sharing high-quality document templates. In this era of information overload, accurate and efficient communication has become especially important. I firmly believe that good communication can build bridges between people, playing an indispensable role in academia, career, and daily life. Therefore, I decided to invest my knowledge and skills into creating valuable documents to help people find inspiration and direction when needed.正文：关于街头错别字的研究报告的英语作文500全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1An Analysis of Misspelled Signage: A Glimpse into Public LiteracyIntroductionAs a student constantly surrounded by the written word, I can't help but notice the plethora of misspellings that adorn the signs and buildings around my city. From quaint mom-and-pop shops to massive corporate franchises, no establishment seems immune to this phenomenon. What began as a casual observation has blossomed into a full-fledged research project, one that aims to shed light on the prevalence and potential causes of these spelling snafus. Through meticulous data collection and analysis, this report will delve into the depths of public literacy, uncovering patterns and drawing insights that could prove invaluable in our collective pursuit of linguistic accuracy.MethodologyTo embark on this endeavor, I first had to establish a comprehensive data collection strategy. Armed with a trusty notebook and an ever-ready pen, I ventured forth into the urban jungle, meticulously documenting every misspelled word or phrase that adorned the facades of businesses, restaurants, and public buildings. Each entry was carefully cataloged, noting the establishment's name, location, and the offending word(s) in question.Over the course of three months, I scoured every nook and cranny of the city, leaving no stone unturned in my quest for spelling slip-ups. The result? A veritable treasure trove of data, comprising over 300 unique instances of misspelled signage.Data AnalysisWith my raw data in hand, the next phase of the project involved categorizing and analyzing the collected misspellings. I began by grouping the errors into distinct categories, such as:Phonetic Misspellings: Words spelled according to their pronunciation rather than their actual spelling (e.g., "Lite Bites" instead of "Light Bites").Homophones: The incorrect usage of words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings (e.g., "They're Hair Salon" instead of "Their Hair Salon").Missing or Added Letters: Words with letters omitted or unnecessarily added (e.g., "Drycleaners" instead of "Dry Cleaners").Compound Word Errors: Mistakes involving the improper separation or combination of compound words (e.g., "Everydaysupplies" instead of "Everyday Supplies").After categorizing the misspellings, I analyzed the frequency of each error type, searching for patterns and potential underlying causes.Findings and DiscussionThe data yielded some fascinating insights into the world of public misspellings. Firstly, the most prevalent category was that of phonetic misspellings, accounting for a staggering 42% of the total errors documented. This finding suggests that many business owners and sign makers prioritize the way words sound over their actual spelling, potentially due to a lack of formal education or a reliance on auditory cues.Secondly, homophones proved to be a significant stumbling block, comprising 27% of the misspellings. This category highlights the importance of understanding the nuances of language and the need for a firm grasp of word meanings and their proper usage.Thirdly, missing or added letters accounted for 18% of the errors, indicating a lack of attention to detail or a hurried approach to signage creation.Lastly, compound word errors, while less frequent (13%), still posed a challenge, underscoring the need for a comprehensive understanding of language rules and conventions.Implications and RecommendationsThe findings of this research project have far-reaching implications for both the business community and the general public. Misspelled signage not only reflects poorly on the establishment in question but also contributes to an overall perception of diminished literacy and attention to detail within the community.To address this issue, I propose the following recommendations:Increased Emphasis on Spelling and Grammar Education: Educational institutions should place greater emphasis on spelling, grammar, and language conventions, equipping students with the tools necessary to communicate effectively in written form.Awareness Campaigns: Local authorities and business associations should collaborate to raise awareness about the importance of accurate signage and the potential consequencesof misspellings, such as reputational damage and decreased customer trust.Signage Review Process: Businesses should implement a rigorous review process for all public-facing signage, utilizing the expertise of professional proofreaders or language experts to catch and correct potential errors before installation.Community Involvement: Fostering a sense of community pride and ownership could encourage residents to report misspelled signage, contributing to a collective effort to maintain linguistic accuracy in the public sphere.ConclusionThis research project has shed light on the pervasive nature of misspelled signage within our community, highlighting the need for increased attention to detail and a renewed focus on linguistic accuracy. By addressing the root causes and implementing proactive measures, we can work towards a future where public spaces are adorned with impeccably spelled signs, reflecting the pride and professionalism of our city.As a student and a resident, I will continue to advocate for spelling and grammar education, championing the cause of public literacy one misspelled word at a time. For it is throughour collective efforts that we can truly elevate the written word to its rightful place of honor and ensure that our streets and buildings serve as beacons of linguistic excellence.篇2A Study on the Prevalence of Misspellings in Public SignageIntroductionAs a student, I've always been fascinated by the use of language in public spaces. From street signs to storefront displays, the written word surrounds us, conveying information and shaping our perception of our environment. However, it's not uncommon to come across misspellings or grammatical errors in these public texts, which can be both amusing and concerning. In this research project, I set out to investigate the prevalence of misspellings in public signage within a specific urban area, with the aim of understanding the potential causes and implications of these errors.MethodologyFor this study, I chose to focus on a one-mile radius in the heart of downtown, an area known for its diverse array of businesses and high foot traffic. Over the course of two weeks, I methodically walked every street within the designated area,carefully documenting any misspellings or blatant grammatical errors found on public signage, including storefronts, billboards, and street signs.To ensure consistency and accuracy, I developed a set of criteria for identifying and categorizing the errors. Minor typos or obvious slips of the hand were excluded, as the focus was on more significant misspellings that could potentially impact comprehension or perception. Additionally, errors in languages other than English were not considered, as my linguistic expertise is limited to the English language.FindingsThe data collected during this study revealed a surprising number of misspellings in the public signage within the surveyed area. In total, I documented 73 distinct instances of misspelled words or phrases, ranging from minor errors to more egregious mistakes.The most common types of misspellings observed were:Omission of letters or syllables (e.g., "sandwichs" instead of "sandwiches")Incorrect letter substitutions (e.g., "delicious" spelled as "delicous")Transposed letters (e.g., "recieve" instead of "receive")Phonetic spelling errors (e.g., "nite" instead of "night")Interestingly, the distribution of these misspellings was not uniform across the surveyed area. Certain neighborhoods or commercial districts seemed to have a higher concentration of errors, potentially indicating differences in factors such as education levels, proofreading practices, or the prioritization of professional signage.DiscussionThe prevalence of misspellings in public signage raises several important considerations. First and foremost, it calls into question the level of attention and care given to thesepublic-facing texts, which can significantly impact the overall impression and credibility of a business or organization. In an age where visual communication is paramount, misspellings can be perceived as a lack of professionalism or attention to detail.Additionally, misspellings can potentially lead to confusion or misunderstandings, particularly for individuals with limited literacy skills or those for whom English is not their first language. Clear and accurate communication in public spaces is essential for fostering an inclusive and accessible environment.Potential causes for these misspellings could include a lack of proofreading processes, reliance on automated or untrained individuals for sign creation, or a general lack of emphasis on proper spelling and grammar in certain contexts. It's also possible that some misspellings are intentional, either as a stylistic choice or an attempt to capture attention through unconventional spellings.RecommendationsBased on the findings of this study, I would recommend the following measures to address the issue of misspellings in public signage:Increased emphasis on proofreading and quality control: Businesses and organizations should implement rigorous proofreading processes for all public-facing texts, utilizing multiple sets of eyes and professional editors or copywriters when necessary.Ongoing education and training: Providing regular spelling and grammar training for employees involved in the creation or approval of public signage could help to raise awareness and reinforce the importance of accurate communication.Collaboration with local educational institutions: Partnering with local schools, colleges, or universities could provide opportunities for students to assist with proofreading or sign creation, fostering a sense of community involvement while ensuring higher quality signage.Leveraging technology: While not a complete solution, incorporating spell-checking software or other automated tools into the sign creation process could help to catch and correct some common misspellings.Public awareness campaigns: Launching campaigns or initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of accurate public signage could encourage businesses and individuals to take greater care in their written communications.ConclusionThis research project has shed light on the surprising prevalence of misspellings in public signage within a specific urban area. While some may view these errors as harmless or even endearing, they can have broader implications for communication, professionalism, and inclusivity. By implementing measures such as increased proofreading, ongoing education, and community collaboration, we can work towards reducing these misspellings and ensuring that ourpublic spaces are filled with clear, accurate, and accessible written communication.篇3A Study on Street Misspellings: When Signage Goes AwryIntroductionAs a college student, I've always been fascinated by the written word and how it shapes our understanding of the world around us. However, during my daily commutes and weekend adventures, I've noticed an unsettling trend – an alarming number of misspelled words adorning the signs and storefronts that line our city streets. These glaring errors, ranging from simple typos to complete linguistic butchery, have become a source of both amusement and frustration for me.It was this obsession with linguistic accuracy that prompted me to undertake a research project, documenting and analyzing the prevalence of misspellings in public signage. Over the course of three months, I embarked on a quest to photograph and catalog as many instances of misspelled words as I could find within the city limits. The results of my study, while amusing at times, shed light on a concerning issue – the apparent decline in literacy and attention to detail that plagues our modern society.MethodologyTo conduct my research, I devised a systematic approach to collecting data. Armed with a camera and a notebook, I traversed the city's neighborhoods, scrutinizing every sign, billboard, and storefront for potential misspellings. Whenever I encountered a misspelled word, I would photograph it, note its location, and record the correct spelling alongside the erroneous one.Admittedly, there were challenges to overcome. Some misspellings were more ambiguous than others, leaving room for interpretation regarding their validity. In such cases, I consulted authoritative dictionaries and style guides to determine the accepted spelling. Additionally, I had to exercise discretion when encountering misspellings that could be considered offensive or inappropriate, opting to exclude them from my study.Results and AnalysisOver the course of three months, I documented a staggering 372 instances of misspelled words adorning public signage. These errors ranged from simple one-letter mistakes, such as "Resturant" instead of "Restaurant," to more egregious blunders, like "Exersice" for "Exercise."Interestingly, certain types of misspellings appeared to be more prevalent than others. For instance, words containing double letters (e.g., "Comittee" instead of "Committee") or silent letters (e.g., "Wisskey" instead of "Whiskey") seemed to trip up sign makers more frequently. Additionally, homophones – words that sound alike but have different spellings and meanings –were a common source of confusion, with examples like "Their" being used in place of "There."Perhaps the most alarming finding was the sheer diversity of businesses and organizations that fell victim to these linguistic lapses. From multinational corporations to mom-and-pop shops, no establishment seemed immune to the scourge of misspellings. Even government agencies and educational institutions, entities one would expect to uphold the highest standards of literacy, were not spared.Implications and ConclusionsThe prevalence of misspellings in public signage raises several concerning implications. First and foremost, it suggests a worrying decline in literacy and attention to detail among those responsible for creating and proofreading these signs. In an age where spell-check and online dictionaries are readily available,such errors are inexcusable and reflect poorly on the businesses or organizations they represent.Furthermore, these misspellings can have tangible consequences. For businesses, they may undermine credibility and professionalism, deterring potential customers from patronizing their establishments. In the case of government agencies or educational institutions, misspellings can erode public trust and confidence in their competence.On a broader societal level, the ubiquity of misspellings in public spaces sends a troubling message, particularly to younger generations. It normalizes and perpetuates a culture of linguistic sloppiness, undermining the importance of proper spelling and grammar in written communication.As I reflect on the findings of my research, I am left with a sense of both amusement and concern. While the comical nature of some misspellings provided moments of levity, the underlying issue they represent is no laughing matter. It is a call to action, a reminder that we must prioritize literacy and attention to detail in all aspects of our lives, from education to business to civic engagement.Perhaps it is time for a collective effort to address this issue, through increased emphasis on spelling and grammar in schools,stricter proofreading protocols for public signage, and a renewed societal commitment to upholding the integrity of the written word. Only then can we hope to reverse the tide of misspellings that threatens to undermine our linguistic foundations.。

安阳市高校校园英语公示语调查研究随着中国大学与国际高校间的文化学术交流日益频繁，越来越多的中英文公示语出现在高校的校园里。

但是，由于缺乏统一的翻译标准，目前高校公示语的英译状况存在诸多问题。

本篇调研报告主要是对安阳地区5所高校收集的校园公示语并进行调查研究。

主要采用调查法，采用拍照、笔记、以及实地考察等多种方式，收集第一手真实、可靠的数据。

对数据进行整理、对比、分析，了解安阳市高校校园英语公示语翻译现状；分析校园公示语翻译存在的问题，提出解决对策。

标签：校园公示语翻译；校园文化建设；翻译现状引言公示语，即公示语，意思是给公众在公众场合看的文字语言。

随着大学校园的对外开放，公示语的作用也越显突出。

安阳是我国历史文化名城，中国八大古都之一，有著丰富的旅游资源，每年都吸引了大量的国外友人来此游玩、学习、工作、甚至定居。

高校作为培养人才的摇篮，文化、学习氛围更加浓厚，求真更加严谨。

近年来，到我们大学作学术报告、交流访问的外籍人士越来越多。

公示语翻译能否实现它本来的功能，不但将会影响到来访者的访问行程，而且关系到校园的精神面貌和整体形象。

但通过实地调研发现，公示语的不规范翻译在安阳地区大学的校园里屡见不鲜。

1国内高校校园公示语的研究状况高校校园公示语是高校校园文化建设的一个重要方面。

近年来，校园公示语的翻译研究越来越引起学者们的注意。

2007年，安阳师范学院韩国军老师在校报期刊上发表《安阳双语公示语的翻译》，指出了安阳地区公示语翻译存在的拼写失误和大小写不统一；用语不规范；一词多译；及大量Chinglish存在这四大问题。

为安阳公示语的翻译提供了很好的参考意见，但美中不足的是，并没有针对公示语翻译存在的问题提出一些相应的解决办法。

总的来说，关于安阳市校园英语公示语翻译研究的文章还十分有限，也缺乏一定的系统性，这显然不利于安阳市高校良好国际形象的构建。

有鉴于此，本文尝试对安阳市公示语翻译进行一些的研究，希望能对公示语的翻译提供一定的启迪和建议。

作者通过在宁波市区，尤其是火车站、汽车站、飞机场、宾馆、商店等公共场所搜集公示语，发现宁波的公示语有翻译不标准、译文与原文意思不符、拼写错误、中式英文、望文生义、地名翻译不规范等现象，并提出了整改措施。

关键词：公式语翻译纠错一、引言汉英翻译公示语是一种公开和面对公众的,以达到某种交际目的的特殊文体.其应用范围之广泛几乎涉及到我们生活的方方面面, 例如路标、广告牌、商店招牌、公共场所的宣传语、旅游简介等等. 它或用寥寥数词，或用简单明了的图示，抑或图示与文字结合来表示与受众的生活、生产、生命、生态、环境休戚相关的文字或图形信息。

随着对外经济和文化交流的日益增加，越来越多的外国友人来到中国，特别是奥运的举行和世博会的临近，使英语作为“世界通语”的重要性显得尤为突出。

而作为“城市脸孔”的公示语是给所有到中国来的外国人士留下第一印象的中国的名片。

因此，汉语公示语的英译日显必要，其目的很明确，即在必要的场合能够指示、提示、警示、帮助在华的外国友人更加方便的学习、旅游和工作。

二、语料搜集目前，宁波一些公众场合的英文标示语翻译，花样百出，存在着太多的不统一。

英文标识不仅仅是作为一种装饰而设的时髦形式，它应该有着积极的现实意义。

对于中国人而言，我们是因为知道中文才看出英译的不当，而那些需要英文路标指示的外国人，面对混乱的标识，只能一筹莫展。

现在，我们来看一下在宁波一些带有英译的公示语。

武汉市公示语误译现象调研报告

武汉市公示语误译现象调研报告课堂号：4名册序号：32院系：化学学院姓名：张x调研完成时间:2018年5月26日拍摄人：张x拍摄地点：广埠屯地铁站A口互联网取票机拍摄时间：2018 年5月26日误译原因分析：拼写错误建议改译为：将tichets改为tickets改译的理由：公示语翻译中的拼写错误虽不会造成严重的误解，但也会带来负面的影响，并且会降低公示语应有的效果。

这些错误反映除了译者专业素养的缺乏、管理系统不够体系化、社会监管不是很有效等问题。

拍摄人: 张x拍摄地点：群光广场前拍摄时间：2018年4月29 日误译原因分析：语法不通建议改译为：将on lead 改为on a lead改译的理由：经查找资料，并无on lead这一短语，而on a lead 意为“牵狗带”，例句：Dogs must be kept on a lead.狗必须牵住拍摄人：张x拍摄地点：武汉地铁轨道交通2号线拍摄时间：2018年5月26日误译原因分析：与文本意思不符建议改译为：将Do not touch改为Do not hold doors改译的理由：touch意为“触摸，涉及，接近”，文本为“请勿扶门”，我认为Do not hold doors 更好拍摄人：张x拍摄地点：武汉地铁轨道交通2号线拍摄时间：2018年5月26日误译原因分析：与文本意思不符建议改译为:将“Metro wife service area”改为Free wife改译的理由:文本为“免费WI-FI已覆盖”，我认为其重心在免费，而译文中并没有体现出来且翻译过长拍摄人：张x拍摄地点：群光广场前拍摄时间：2018年4月29日误译原因分析：用词不准确建议改译为：将other waste改为non-recycable改译的理由：垃圾分为可回收垃圾、厨余垃圾、有毒有害垃圾、和其他垃圾。

其中厨余垃圾、有毒有害垃圾与其他垃圾均属于不可回收垃圾。

文本为“不可回收”，其范围应比其他垃圾范围更广，故应将other waste改为non-recycable。

公示语汉英错译的原因分析及其翻译策略

公示语汉英错译的原因分析及其翻译策略摘要：公示语影响到我们生活的方方面面，但是当前公示语的翻译还存在诸多问题。

本文通过实例分析了公示语翻译错误的原因，探讨了公示语翻译的策略，以期让公示语更好地扮演对外交流窗口的角色。

关键词：公示语汉英翻译翻译策略1.公示语汉英错译的原因分析1.1拼写错误拼写错误是公示语汉英错译中一种最低级的错误，但它比较常见。

如在某火车站，“吸烟室”Smoking Room被错误地拼写为Smorking Room；在某商场，“楼层”floor被错误地拼写成floot；在某大学，竟然将“大学”college错误地拼写成colege。

拼写错误往往是由于译者或标牌制作单位的粗心马虎和责任心不强造成的。

拼写错误虽然一般不会带来严重误解，但往往会给外国友人留下极为不好的印象。

1.2语法错误语法错误也是公示语汉英翻译中常见的错误之一，主要体现在词性误用、冠词漏用、名词单复数使用不当等方面。

如“中西快餐”Chinese and Western Fast Food被误译为China and Foreign Fast Food，误将China用作形容词；“请走侧门”Please use the side door，有的译者将定冠词the漏掉了；“男卫生间”Men’s Room误译为Man’s Room，错用了名词的单数形式。

1.3中式英语英语和汉语在词法、句法、语法规则和表达习惯等方面存在很大差异。

然而，不少人在翻译公示语时受汉语结构和思维的影响，逐字翻译，形成了不符合英文表达习惯的中式英语。

例如许多公共场合出现的提示性公示语“请看好您的物品”被译为“Keep your possessions well”，这样的译文虽然在语法、拼写等语言要素方面都没有错误，但是不符合英文表达习惯，地道的译文应为“Beware of theft”。

又如“小心滑倒”被很多译者译成“Slip carefully”，表达的意思成了“小心地滑倒”，与告示者要表达的本意完全相反，正确译文应为“Caution，wet floor”。

关于错误的公示语的调查报告

The public signsWith the speedily developed urbanization ,the public signs have become a unique landscape in metropolis. Signs and reminders are an important part of language in society.What the map to the tourists is what the logos to the cities.The signs remain variety of functions.The road signs direct the ways for walkers and the warning signs caution the permition or forbidding ,etc.Public signs in English are alse essential to tourists.Maybe they are attracted by the breathtaking scenery and enjoy themselves.But if they are lost their way or do improper damage to some interests unintentionally,they would feel unsatisfied with this travel.To make the cities more attractive and impressive,the auxiliary elements are of crucial to the whole image of the city.Let’s take the Olympic Games for instance.As we all know,the Olympic Games is an international affair.People from all over the world gather together to appreciate the splendid and unparalleled sport gala.No matter how considerate p reparations have been made,it wouldn’t be perfect without a senible and directive logos. After identifying the types and causes of certain typical errors inpublic signs, our country take measures to correct the wrong signs so as to enhance its international image.Directing, prompting, restrictingand compelling are their four most important functions. The visitors could work more effectively if they take note of the functional features and language style of public signs. Pragma linguistic equivalence and socio-pragmatic equivalence are two principles we should adhere to in translations of signs and reminders.There are kinds of sign mistakes as followings.Firstly,the spelling error take a great proportion in public signs.For example,No Burning is written as No Buming,whose meaing has been totally changed.What’s more.The Fire Hydrant is turned into Fire Hydant and the Toilet to Toliet.Some of the signs call for capital in every letters while some just need the first letter only.Such as the EXIT,every letter should be capitaled.If a sentence is long ,it’s enough to capital the first letter.The spelling mistakes are mainly caused by carelessnesses that leave an awful impression on the foreigners.Secondly,the solecism is the killer of the signs.The literal translation is the typical mistake which translates the signs from Chinese to English word by word,resulting in the misunderstanding of the both Chinese and foreigners.As we all know ,some Chinglish signs are hilarious jokes.When you see the sign“Carefully fall down to the river!”,you may feel surprised why set such a signalong the bank?However ,the utter and true meaning of this sentence is “Caution! River Ahead!”What absurd it is.The welcome sign is always wrongly used in case that Welcome to Beijing is replaced by Beijing welcome you and so on.The translators’ ignorace on the grammatical rules and mechanical translation contribute to the uncorrectness of the public signs.Thirdly,the codes of language vary from country to country. In English speaking countries,they intend to use caution，watch or mind instead of being careful or paying attention.It is the cultural diversity that leads to the difference.Finally,the inappropriate use (the proper time or place) of the signs is also the reason caused the mistakes.Maybe a sentence is exactly right both in spelling and grammer.The only false is the improper use of the logo.It’s not suitable or polite in this place ,situation or time.Let’s take a look at the MacDonald’s warning sign ”Please don’t eat or drink non-MacDo nald food and drink here”.It will cause a little uncomfort to the consumers.The right sign should be written as “Comsumption of ManDonald food only”.Apart from the appropriate express,the latter would not hurt the emotion of the customs’.In view of the abundant mistakes in public signs.We should obey some rules in accordance with the grammer,spelling and conventional express ,etc.In the first place,the signs translation should follow the principle of "unification" which remains three meanings. First and most important,it must adhere to the international practices and authentic language of the local people.The public sign are offered for the foreigners instead of the native.It does not make any sense to make a sign if the foreiners are confused with it.Second,we can adopt the public signs from the English-speaking countries directly.In the end, If there are no ready-made English logos can be referenced and borrowed and no fixed translation can be used,we can refer to the authority official website or the unified newspapers and dictionaries. Only by following the principle of unified can keep down a wide variety of Chinglish logos and can we truly provide accurate information for foreign guests to make a convenient life and effective work.In the second place, the Chinese-English translation should also follow the concise principles to guarantee a clear and brief notice or warning. The particular social function bring up the succinct summary of the English translation of sign language .We always use notional word and keyword to the exclusion of articles,pronouns andparing with the sign “Be careful of the electricity,please” ,the ”Danger!High Voltage”make a better warning for people.The last but not least, English public signs has its special language features and expressions, courtesy for one.The politeness principle ,with a gentle manner of speaking ,mixes the information and the feeling together. The signs“Don’t Step On”or “ Stop service”would more or less impolite and hurt the emotion of people while”No Admittance”or “Out ofService”can be more easily accepted.Less order ,more warnings is of importance.The English Signs are the windows for the friends from all over the world to know our country.It has a variety of types, such as safety mark traffic signs, public facilitiesmarks ,mechanical equipment signs .However many parts of the existing signs remain kinds of mistakes thar can not only have a very good publicity function, but also cause misunderstanding.I have already conducted a survey about the wrong public signs on foreigners with my friend.To my surprise,most of the foreigners can speak Chinese quite well.So they can understand both the Chinese and English signs.Apart from the public signs I have learned from them and the survey that many Westencountries take great interest in Chinese literature and Putonghua.And the fervor in learning Chinese has spread throughout the world. As a powerful country in every side, we should take more responsibilities and more attention to the image of ourselves.。

关于招牌错别字的研究报告英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1A Study on Misspellings in Public SignageIntroductionAs students, we are constantly reminded of the importance of spelling words correctly. From elementary school spelling bees to university term papers, proper spelling is drilled into our minds as a fundamental aspect of literacy and communication. However, a casual stroll through any town or city reveals that misspellings on public signage are surprisingly common. These errors, ranging from minor typos to comically mangled words, serve as a stark contrast to the emphasis placed on spelling in academic settings.The prevalence of misspellings in public spaces raises several intriguing questions. How common are these errors, and what types of words or businesses are most prone to them? What factors might contribute to the occurrence of misspellings in signage? And perhaps most importantly, what impact, if any, dothese errors have on the public's perception of the businesses or organizations responsible?This research paper aims to explore the phenomenon of misspellings in public signage, drawing insights from observational data gathered in a mid-sized American city. Through a systematic documentation and analysis of signage errors, we hope to shed light on this often-overlooked aspect of our linguistic landscape and spark a broader discussion about the importance of spelling in public communication.MethodologyTo conduct this study, a team of researchers systematically documented misspellings found on public signage within the city limits of Middletown, USA. Over a period of three months, we methodically canvassed the city's commercial districts, residential neighborhoods, and public spaces, photographing and cataloging any instances of misspelled words on signs, banners, or other publicly visible text.Each misspelling was carefully recorded, along with information about the type of business or organization associated with the sign, the apparent severity of the error (e.g., minor typo, phonetic misspelling, or completely mangled word),and any potential contextual factors that might have contributed to the mistake.After compiling this data, we performed a quantitative analysis to determine the frequency of misspellings across different types of businesses and organizations, as well as the distribution of error severity levels. Additionally, we conducted a qualitative analysis to identify any patterns or themes that emerged from the collected data, aiming to gain insights into the potential causes and impacts of these spelling mistakes.Results and DiscussionOur study documented a total of 137 unique instances of misspellings on public signage within the city limits of Middletown. These errors were observed across a wide range of businesses and organizations, including restaurants, retail stores, service providers, religious institutions, and government facilities.Perhaps unsurprisingly, the highest concentration of misspellings was found in the signage of small, locally-owned businesses, accounting for nearly 60% of the documented errors. Larger national chains and franchises exhibited a lower incidence of spelling mistakes, likely due to more stringent branding and quality control measures.In terms of error severity, the majority of misspellings (68%) could be classified as minor typos or transpositions of letters, such as "Resturant" or "Haircut's." However, a significant portion (篇2A Study of Misspelled Signage: An Epidemic of ErrorsHave you ever noticed how many store signs, advertisements, and public notices have glaring spelling mistakes? As a student who prides myself on proper spelling and grammar, I've become increasingly aware of and annoyed by this phenomenon. That's why for my latest research project, I decided to investigate the prevalence and potential causes of misspelled signage in my local community.For this study, I spent several weeks closely observing signs and written displays in a five-mile radius around my school. I documented every spelling error I encountered, taking note of the specific mistake, the type of sign or display, and any other relevant contextual details. My findings were nothing short of alarming.In total, I identified an astonishing 187 individual misspellings across 122 different signs or displays. The errors ranthe gamut from simple typos and mistaken homophones to incomplete words and nonsensical letter combinations that could only be chalked up to a profound misunderstanding of English spelling rules.Some particularly egregious examples included a restaurant advertising "shrimps skamboo" on their specials board, a pet store selling "dogges chewe bonez," and perhaps most disturbingly, the sign outside an elementary school that proudly proclaimed "Waukum too our lerneing akeydemy!" As a student, seeing this level of illiteracy associated with a place of education was nothing short of appalling.The types of establishments with the most misspelled signs varied, but fast food restaurants, small retail shops, and handmade yard sale signs seemed to be the biggest culprits. Surprisingly, major chain businesses were not immune, with multiple instances of national brands displaying egregiously misspelled words on their storefronts or promotional materials in my area.Of course, it's easy to look at these errors and simply write them off as the inevitable mistakes of underpaid workers or business owners who don't prioritize proper spelling and grammar. However, I believe the ubiquity of this problem pointsto much deeper societal issues around lack of education, diminishing writing standards, over-reliance on spellcheck technology, and a growing sense that precise spelling doesn't really matter in our increasingly digital, abbreviated communication age.From my time as a student studying English, language, and writing, I've come to firmly believe that spelling is crucial, both as a fundamental literacy skill and as a hallmark of professionalism and attention to detail in public-facing communication. Sure, the occasional typo is understandable in our rapidfire world ofad-hoc smartphone notes and social media posts. But for any sort of formal signage or advertising intended to represent a business or organization, poorly spelled words are simply unacceptable.Not only do misspelled signs make a terrible first impression on potential customers, reflecting poorly on the establishment's credibility and commitment to quality, but they help perpetuate societal apathy toward maintaining high literacy standards. At a time when English communication skills among younger generations are already in steep decline, constant exposure to publicly displayed misspellings only further desensitizes people to the importance of proper spelling from an early age.As a student, I'm frankly stunned by this indifference toward linguistic accuracy and disappointed by the lack of accountability. Whoever is producing these misspelled signs, whether it's employees making them by hand or firms contracted to manufacture professional displays, they are doing the public a disservice and actively contributing to the degradation of written English skills.So what can be done to address this growing epidemic of spelling errors on public signage? Based on my research findings, I have several key recommendations:Increased investment in basic literacy education,spelling/grammar curriculums, and writing skills development starting from the elementary school level and continuing through high school and vocational training programs.Raising public awareness through local advocacy campaigns highlighting the most egregious examples of misspelled signs and their costs to businesses/organizations in terms of appearing unprofessional.Implementing more rigorous proofing and quality control standards for any permanent exterior signage produced by professional vendors. This could involve multiple rounds ofreview, required spell-checking measures, and harsh financial penalties for errors that slip through to the final product stage.Encouraging managers and owners of small businesses to make basic spelling and grammar skills a prerequisite for employees tasked with creating in-house marketing/advertising materials, menus, or other customer-facing written content.Establishing a community-driven system for reporting misspelled public signage, be it through a dedicated website or a municipal taskforce, that can follow up with the offending entity and push for timely corrections before errors become entrenched eyesores.While misspelled words and poor writing will likely always exist to some degree, that doesn't mean we should become apathetic or desensitized bystanders accepting thisself-perpetuating cycle of signage mistakes. As a diligent student of the English language, I'm committed to doing my part through this research to advocate for higher written communication standards across public spaces.Ultimately, I hope studies like this can help facilitate more public dialogue and spark productive initiatives to preserve robust literacy skills for current and future generations. Because at the end of the day, continually exposing people to misspelledwords displayed prominently in our communities does nothing but reinforce bad spelling habits and undermine society's collective grasp of the English language. And that's something no student invested in developing strong communication abilities should accept as inevitable or inconsequential.篇3A Study on Misspellings in Commercial SignageIntroductionHave you ever walked down the street and noticed a hilarious misspelling on a storefront sign or advertisement? Maybe you chuckled at a "Producs" sign for a grocery store or giggled at a restaurant claiming to have "Delicius Food." While often unintentionally humorous, misspellings on public signage can also negatively impact a business's credibility and professionalism. This research paper examines the prevalence, causes, and impacts of misspelled words on commercial signs and written advertisements.Prevalence of MisspellingsTo gauge how common sign misspellings actually are, I conducted an observational study by walking through the main commercial districts of my city and recording instances ofobvious misspellings on storefront signs, billboards, and printed advertisements displayed in business windows. In a 5-mile radius, I identified 37 separate cases of misspelled words out of approximately 250 total signs observed - meaning around 15% contained at least one spelling error.Some noteworthy examples I documented include a laundromat boasting "Best Servece in Town!", a pawn shop claiming to buy and sell "Ussed Jewelery," and perhaps my favorite - a pizza place advertising "Delicious Chicen Wings." While comical, these spelling mistakes certainly do not inspire confidence in the businesses' quality or attention to detail.Causes of MisspellingsSo why do these misspellings occur so frequently on professional signage that likely cost hundreds or thousands of dollars? Based on interviews with sign makers and insights from academic sources, some key causes include:Lack of Proofreading - Many businesses simply fail to proofread the text on their signs before sending it to production, whether due to laziness, overconfidence in their spelling abilities, or an assumption that the sign maker will catch any errors.Autocorrect Errors - If sign text is typed into a computer rather than written by hand, automatic spelling correction can actually introduce misspellings if not carefully reviewed, changing correctly spelled words into nonsensical alternatives.Non-Native English Speakers - In regions with high populations of immigrants or non-native English speakers, some sign makers or business owners may have limited English vocabulary and spelling skills.Slang/Creative Spellings - Occasionally, misspellings are intentional attempts at trendiness, like using "Xtreme" instead of "Extreme" to seem more cutting-edge or youthful. These can easily backfire though.Impacts of MisspellingsWhile misspelled words may seem harmless enough, my research indicates they can have meaningful negative impacts on businesses:Reduced Credibility - A study by Bolls et al. (2015) found that incorrect spellings reduced viewers' perceived credibility of a business and diminished positive brand associations. In our social media era, viral photos of silly misspellings can be especially damaging.Smaller Profit Margins - Misspellings that alter the intended meaning of a sign (e.g. "Pubic Parking" instead of Public) can mislead or drive away customers, impacting sales and revenue. Signs are costly investments that should be error-free.Unprofessional Image - Even seemingly minor misspellings can create an aura of sloppiness, low quality, and lack of attention to detail around a business's products and services in customers' minds.Legal Complications - In some cases, egregious misspellings could potentially open businesses up to false advertising claims if the text misrepresents offerings or policies.Potential SolutionsTo minimize this costly issue, a few potential solutions arise:Increased Proofreading - Businesses could implement more stringent multi-perspective proofreading protocols for signage text before production to catch spelling errors.Spelling Software - Advanced spell-checking software could be integrated into sign design programs to automatically identify potential misspellings.Public Proofreading Campaigns - Local municipalities could launch campaigns encouraging the public to report sign misspellings, allowing businesses to correct them discreetly.Native English Checks - For areas with many non-native English speakers, a native speaker could be designated to sign off on commercial signage texts before production.ConclusionWhile often unintentionally amusing, misspellings on commercial signs and advertisements reflect poorly on businesses and can undermine credibility, patronage, and ultimately profits. Increased proofreading, spelling software, public reporting campaigns, and native speaker oversight could help reduce this prevalent yet avoidable issue. For both businesses and municipalities, having a comprehensive plan to prevent misspelled public signage is wise - lest they convey an unpolished, unprofessional image and put off current and potential customers. Misspellings may be funny, but letting them slip through could mean much more than a laughing matter for companies' bottom lines.。
