Common Signs and Short Notices in English
英语常用标识语和提示语
随着我国加入世贸组织和北京将举办2008年奥运会，越来越多的外国人到中国经商和旅游，英语被使用的越来越广泛。英语标识语和提示语在人们的生活当中越来越重要了，但目前我国有很多标识语和提示话使用不规范，比如：有些旅游场所标有"No visitors"(游客止步)，很多商店标有"Business time" (营业时间)，甚至首都机场有些标识语也不规范，如："Claim luggage" (取行李)。这些都会给外国朋友造成一定的交际和沟通方面的障碍。
2001年，我去英国学习，注意到了英国的一些标识语和提示语，并把它们记录下来。现在我把它们整理分类，配有中文翻译。这些都是原汁原味的英语标识语和提示语，大部分我们可以直接运用，有些则可以根据我国的实际情况变通一下再用。可以说你使用这些地地道道的英语标识语和提示语，老外看了，也会觉得我们不?quot;老外"了。
下面是本人收集的部分标识语和提示语。
