中英译汉:
Beijing subway stations standardize English translations
The English translations have been used in the new Beijing rail transit lines map released in late 2020, and will gradually be put into use for the whole subway network, according to the municipal transport commission.
The general rule for the translations is in compliance with the relevant translation regulations and rules, simple and straightforward, giving consideration to both geographic information and cultural implications, and dedicated to serving foreign passengers.
Based on the general rule, English translation of subway station names that uses pinyin should comply with the scheme for the Chinese phonetic alphabet and basic rules of the Chinese phonetic alphabet orthography. The initials of each unit of spelling should be capitalized and the remaining letters lowercased, and the spelling units should be spaced according to that of pinyin.
Stations that are named after places of historic interest and scenic beauty and those with English names that are conventional, long used and generally acknowledged at home and abroad will keep the original English translations instead of pinyin.
For stations whose name ends with a word signifying directions, such as south, north, east and west, the direction information should be marked with the correspondent English abbreviation.
The new translation rules are more in tune with universal reading habits and further improve the level of standardized English translation of the city's subway station names, said the municipal transport commission. Different English translations for a same station may exist over a period of time as the replacement of the signs will be carried out gradually and orderly, the commission added.
