Abstract:This thesis analyzes the mistranslations of Chinese introductions to scenic spots in Xuzhou city. As the research turns out, mistranslations can be classified into two categories: one is the mistakes in translating Chinese version, including mistranslations of Chinese characters, words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs in the original texts, and the other is mistakes in English version like spelling, grammatical, and collocation mistakes, which are mainly caused by translators’ lack of cross-cultural awareness, competence and responsibility, as well as lacking supervision. If translators can improve cultural awareness and apply methods like annotation, adaptation and paraphrase while doing translation to avoid misunderstanding caused by cultural vacancy, strengthen their own bilingual competence and further understand the culture of scenic spots, mistranslations can be avoided. This thesis contributes to increasing the translation quality of introductions to scenic spots in Xuzhou, promoting the municipal image and publicizing the culture of Xuzhou.
