摘    要
 英語公示語對在中國的外國友人來說是最便捷的路標指示，它的作用是顯而易見的。然而，目前錯誤和不規范的英文公示語已經嚴重影響了中國的對外形象，而且也給外國友人帶來了很多的麻煩。
 本文作者通過多次調查研究，從跨文化視角，將公示語英譯錯誤分為兩類，即語言層面和文化層面，然后，作者對這兩類錯誤進行了分析，探討出現這些問題的原因，并提出了解決這些問題的對策。

關鍵詞：公示語；問題；對策；跨文化交際

ABSTRACT
 English public signs as the simplest guide are apparently essential to foreigners in China. However, the improper and nonstandard English public signs have been a pressing problem because they have defaced China’s International image and have given much trouble to the foreigners in their daily life.
 On the basis of many researches, the author classifies the public signs translation errors from linguistic and cultural aspects, analyses these two types of errors, illustrates the causes, and puts forward some strategies for improvements of public signs translation, from the perspective of intercultural communication.

Key words：public signs; problems; strategies; intercultural communication
