A Study on the English Translation of Public Signs in Xinghu Scenic Area from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology

星湖景区是肇庆市唯一的国家5A级旅游景点,包括七星岩和鼎湖山两个片区,吸引了众多游客,然而景区内的景点介绍、导览图、警示语等公示语的英译文存在不少问题。在生态翻译学理论的指导下,译者要深入理解景区内的公示语原文及其文化涵义,并对原文文本进行移植,对译文的用词进行筛选、改造,选出最适应译文文本生态环境的用语。该文从生态翻译学中的语言、文化、交际三个维度对景区内的英译文进行研究,试图找出英语翻译中存在的一些问题并提出相应的改进措施,提升星湖景区内公示语的翻译质量,助推肇庆文化“走出去”,提升城市形象,促进肇庆旅游业的发展。
