扬州出租车中英对照表堪称神翻译 老外看不懂

出租车上放置“中英文对照表”方便外国游客，是扬州市建设世界名城的一项举措。然而细心的网友却发现“对照表”上的英文翻译让人哭笑不得。的哥也说“拉了三趟老外，没有一个能看懂”，堪称“神翻译”。扬州客运管理处回应说，目前新版的“中英文对照表”已在修订，预计本月就能更换。

吐槽：中英文对照表，老外看不懂

昨天，扬州网友“淘淘选房”发微博说：“今天早晨打的上班，在出租车上看见了这个。司机师傅介绍说已经有一个月了，他拉了三趟老外，没有一个看得懂。我不信，仔细一瞧，不怪老外呀！这翻译中国人都哭笑不得！花样年华小区：The mood for love，和美第：And the article，骏和天城：Chun and Amagi？”从微博配图可以看出，她吐槽的是“扬州市区出租汽车行业运输服务中英文对照表”。她说：“我搜尽一脑子词汇，愣是一个没看懂！司机师傅已经果断把它撤下了！ ”

探访：小区名按照中式思维直译

昨天下午，记者在的哥汤师傅的车上，看到了这份扬州市区出租汽车行业运输服务中英文对照表。据悉，这张表是今年3月份扬州客管部门赠送给1000多辆出租车司机的，上面有近百个扬州常见地名中英文翻译的对照表，包括20大旅游景点、21家宾馆、60个小区及机场、车站、港口、银行等。

记者发现，“淘淘选房”所说的情况确实存在，部分小区名称是按照中式思维直译，比如“念四小区”就被翻译成了“Read The Four District”。

汤师傅告诉记者，这张表是3月份扬州客运管理处赠送的，“实际用处并不大。老外打车，有的会说简单的中文，知道跟你说要去哪里；有的直接拿个牌子告诉你地址。”对于中英文翻译，汤师傅表示自己并不大懂，“如果说翻译得老外都看不懂的话，倒不如不放的好。”

回应：新版“对照表”正在修订

昨天下午，扬州市城市客运管理处出租管理科张科长回应说：“这个中英文对照表的放置，是按照市委市政府建设世界名城的要求，为了更好地服务外宾，去年在爱心车队进行试行，当时并未接到翻译有误的反映。”

他说：“今年扬州经贸旅游节前夕，根据要求，我们将中英文对照表发放给扬州市区的出租车司机。因为制作过程比较匆忙，请的翻译人员也不是很专业，部分可能直接通过网上在线翻译。近期我们根据市民反映的情况，小区名称的翻译有问题，已经在对这个对照表进行了修订。在对小区名进行翻译时，我们是参照了杭州的情况，将小区名直接用汉语拼音标识。新版的对照表是请了专家翻译，并且由扬州外办审核，会有专家进行把关。”

张科长表示，新版对照表预计本月就能进行更换。
