High-speed Beijing-Tianjin railway opens
The first intercity train between Beijing and Tianjin departs from Beijing South Railway Station for Tianjin, August 1, 2008. The intercity rail line between Beijing and Tianjin is a high-speed rail. The new train service would cut the 120-km journey from the current 70 minutes to about 30 minutes. There are five stations along the line: the Beijing South Railway Station, Yizhuang, Yongle, Wuqing and Tianjin.
“watch for”在字典上的意思是“等待,期待”之意。若将警示牌上的英文再翻译过来,是“请等待一个安全”。所以,不妨翻译为:“Carriage conjunction, please be careful”。
“keep out”的解释是,“用于警示牌,切勿靠近(进入)”。
这个翻译成“Danger !No Touch”更准确
翻译人员将fire fight一词理所当然地翻译成“消防器材”,殊不知,这一词在英文中是“交火、炮战”之意
“Fire extinguisher, please don’t move it at will”才符合其中文意思。至于“safety device”二词也是完全是可以删掉的。
