All the people in the world focus on China. So many people come to China to have a visit. Tourism is a booming industry which has given rise to the needs of well-translated public signs in scenic spots. The main functions of public signs in scenic spots are: to notify tourists of some visiting regulations or to inform them of some cultural knowledge about China. However, some of those signs fail to serve the functions due to mistranslation. C-E translation in scenic spots is very important for international tourism. The subject really needs a systematic study. The paper introduces the basic information of the public sings briefly, including the definition, the function, the classification and the language style of the public signs. The functions of the public signs are directing, prompting, restricting and compelling. The language styles of the public signs are directness and conciseness. This paper makes a case study of the Summer Mountain Resorts by analyzing the errors, including lexical errors, spelling errors, grammar errors, cultural confusion and Chinglsih. This paper offers the translation strategies and methods of public signs under the guide of the skopos theory. Based on an analysis of many examples, the paper comes to a conclusion: in C-E translation of public signs, a translator is required to observe two translation principles to achieve the expected effect. They are “acceptability” of the translated text by intended readers and “loyalty” of the translated text.Key Words：Public signs; skopos theory; translating methods ContentsIntroduction . 1Chapter One A Brief Introduction of Public Signs . 21.1 The definition of public signs .21.2 The function of public signs .21.3 The classification of public signs .31.3.1 Informative and evocative .31.3.2 Slogans and advertisements . 41.3.3 Public signs in scenic spots and other places .41.4 The language style of public signs .41.4.1 Conciseness.51.4.2 Directness 5Chapter Two Problems of C-E Public Signs Translation in Summer Mountain Resorts .62.1 Lexical errors .62.2 Spelling errors.62.3 Grammar errors . 72.4 Unclear description.72.5 Cultural confusion. 82.6 Chinglsih 8Chapter Three Functional Skopos Theory . 103.1 Skopos rule103.2 Coherence rule . 103.3 Fidelity rule11Chapter Four Translation Methods on Public Signs .134.1 Borrowing .134.2 Restructing .134.3 Imitating .144.4 Cultural transformation . 144.5 Notation.15Conclusion .16Bibliography . 17
