4.7 The Requirements for the Translators

　　The most important rule that translators ought to keep in mind is the duty of expanding Chinese culture. To reach the goal, it is essential that they acquire the ability of selecting suitable translation strategies in order to express the cultural connotation behind the names of the tourist attractions to the greatest extent.

　　China is a very unique nation with five thousand years’ history and splendid culture. How can we make readers understand the information conveyed by the translations of tourist attractions’ names and then call upon them to act, think or feel the magic beauty of the place and finally accept Chinese culture? That is the question that the translator must think over time and again. In my view, whatever translation method the translator chooses, he should bear two principles in his mind while translating, namely, the principle of being honest and smooth. The two principles can guide the translator to produce satisfying translation not only meeting the demands of target readers but also publicizing Chinese unique culture.

　　Besides, since the translation of tourist attractions’ names is a part of that of tourist publicity materials, which is a practice-based research, the translator is required to be equipped with adequate experience in tourism.

　　Conclusion

　　The names of tourist attractions are just the advertisement of them. It is of importance to get a good name in order to raise awareness, magnetize more visitors, and boost the growth of tourism. However, there are a variety of problems existing in the translation of Chinese tourist attractions’ names, which do great harm to the image of them and the development of Chinese tourism. Therefore, the study of the translation of tourist attractions’ names is very urgent and vital.
