24、 Japan fixes English
You’ve probably seen some pretty “interesting” English translations. For example, it is common to see “Chinglish” on restaurant menus and on signs in public areas in China.
Japan is now working to improve its English signs so that tourists will have an easier time getting around during the 2020 Olympics.
Improving public transportation signs is especially important, as tourists will take trains and buses to get around. The Japan Tourism Agency recently carried out a two-month investigation into the websites of 85 train and bus companies around the country.
The agency found some rather odd translations. For example, one transportation company refers to children as “dwarfs(侏儒)”. Other transportation errors include “Forgotten Center” for “lost and found”, and “release place” for “ticket machine”.
But does Japan have enough time to correct its English? One expert thinks it’s too late. Gregory Hadley, a professor at Niigata University, thinks it can’t be done. He pointed out that many companies simply won’t be able to afford to hire translators and reprint their materials.
In addition, the people who originally translated the materials probably won’t want to lose face by admitting to translating them correctly, he added.
Whether it can fix its signs or not, Japan is preparing for a wave of tourism. About 30 million people visited the country last year and the number will hit 40 million next year, when the 2020 Olympics officially kick off.
【1】In Japan, which of the following is the most important to improve before the 2020 Olympics?
A.Restaurant menus. B.Tourist information centers.
C.Public transportation signs. D.Public restroom signs.
【2】A “Forgotten Center” probably refers to “________” in Japan.
A.dwarfs B.a lost and found area C.a ticket machine D.a youth hostel
【3】What is Gregory Hadley’s opinion about Japan’s English signage situation?
A.There are too many simple transportations in Japan.
B.Improving signs in public areas is important.
C.Changing incorrect signs makes companies lose face.
D.Japan won’t be able to finish correcting its English in all public areas.
【4】Compared to last year, the number of people who visit Japan will increase by________next year.
A.10 million. B.20 million. C.30 million. D.40 million.
【5】What does the underlined phrase “kick off” mean in Chinese?
A.踢开 B.爆发 C.开始 D.反冲
