Beijing's big Chinese-character slogans, seen at many intersections and subway stations, have been criticized as creating confusion about the city's international image. 在北京很多十字路口及地铁站，大字中文标语比比皆是。这些标语因影响到北京的国际形象而受到批评。 Adding to the confusion are the many foreign-language signs, mostly in English, that include mistakes, wrong information or words that might be misunderstood, said Xu Lin, the director of China's overseas Chinese-language teaching program who is among the nation's political advisers now meeting in Beijing. 全国政协委员、中国对外汉语教学项目负责人许琳表示，北京有不少外文标志，多为英文标志，上面的错误、失当信息和偏差词汇容易引起误解，为北京国际形象增添不少干扰因素。 Slogans painted in Chinese in public places stem from the political campaigns of half a century ago. They are usually ideologically charged and don't fit Beijing's current identity as an open, dynamic international city, said Xu, director-general of the Confucius Institute headquarters, or Hanban, and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. 许琳指出，公共场所的中文标语源于半世纪前的政治斗争。这些标语大多充斥着某种意识形态，与北京当前开放、活力四射的国际化都市身份不符。许琳是孔子学院总部（汉办）总干事。 |
