在北京的小伙伴，最近发现地铁站牌有什么变化吗？ 有拼音了！ 当然，这次的改变是不是为了迎接马上到来的冬季奥运会，不得而知。 今天我们就来读一读CNN关于北京地铁站牌变化的新闻报道。 标题如下： 冬季奥运会前，北京地铁的英文名字被汉语拼音替代了 Hong Kong (CNN)-As Beijing welcomed 2022, residents in the Chinese capital noticed a subtle shift taking place in the city's subway: on signs, the English word "station" has been replaced with "Zhan," the pinyin, or romanized version, of the Chinese character. 在北京即将迎来2022年时，首都北京的居民们注意了北京地铁一个微笑的变化：站牌显示变了。 以前的英文station 被汉语拼音Zhan取代了。 romanized 用罗马字体书写的 And in some cases, English station names such as Olympic Park and Terminal 2 of the Beijing airport have become "AolinpikeGongyuan" and "2 Hao Hangzhanlou" -- though the English translations are still displayed in brackets underneath. 在某些站点，英文站名如Olympic Park 和Terminal 2 of the Beijing airport 变成了汉语拼音aolinpike Gongyuan和2Hao Hangzhanlou，但是英文站名仍然会显示在下面的括号中。 The changes appear to be a work in progress that first started last month, and come just weeks ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics in February. 这些变化似乎是从上个月开始的，也就是在二月份的冬季奥林匹克运动会开幕前几周。 Though there's no suggestion the revamp is in any way linked to the Winter Games, some have contrasted it with Beijing's efforts to improve English translations of street signs before welcoming the world for the 2008 Summer Olympics. 尽管没有任何说明表示此次修改与冬季奥运会有关，但一些人认为这次做法与北京为了迎接2008年夏季奥运会时将街道标志加入英文翻译的做法有类似之处。 revamp 修改，翻新 And the campaign has already caused a stir online, with many questioning the rationale behind such replacements, since foreign visitors who don't speak any Chinese are unlikely to understand pinyin. 这次变化引起了网上热议。很多人质疑其背后的合理性。因为不会说汉语的外国游客不太可能明白拼音。 上网查了一下，大家还真对这件事不解。很多网友认为这样的修改是“迷之操作”。 中国人不需要看拼音就知道站名，而外国人不会说汉语的则不认识拼音，会说汉语的，也不一定懂拼音。 北京地铁官方回应了。 Beijing Subway said in a statement last week that the changes are part of "the city's ongoing efforts to unify translations of subway station names in accordance with relevant regulations." 上周北京地铁在声明中写道：本次变化是北京市持续进行的工作，是要让地铁站名的英文翻译符合相关规定。 你觉得，有必要吗？ |
