【摘要】 公示语是指在公共场所向公众公示须知内容的语言，包括“标识、指示牌、路牌、标语、公告、警示等”（丁衡祁2006:42）。公示语翻译作为外宣翻译的一部分，是宣传我国政治、经济、文化形象的一个重要而又有效的手段。本文从关联理论的基本概念出发，深入的分析了关联理论在汉语公示语英译过程中的指导作用。关联理论认为言语交际是“明示-推理”的过程，是有目的有意图的活动，对翻译具有强大的解释力。全文共分5章：第一章是引言部分，主要论述了本文的研究背景、研究意义、研究方法和全文的基本结构。第二章对公示语的起源、发展、研究现状、英汉公示语的特点及异同做了详尽的分析与说明。第三章是全文的理论框架。详细的阐述了关联理论，包括其基本概念，发展过程、主要观点以及关联翻译理论。在翻译过程中，译者的责任就是在传达译文信息和预测读者心里期待的认知语境中，寻求交际互明。并运用适当的表达方式，实现译者与译文读者的最佳关联。第四章是全文的主体部分。首先集中介绍了关联理论视阈下公示语翻译所要遵循的原则。作者试从关联理论的角度出发，结合翻译实践，从语言和文化两个层面提出相应的翻译策略，，并且运用不同的译例进行阐述与分析。第五章总结全文内容，指出了本文的局限性并且为进一步的研究提出了建议。公示语汉英翻译的最主要的目的就是传递信息，以实现其交际功能。译者在翻译的过程中，应该在准确传达原文信息的基础上迎合读者期待，实现最佳关联。公示语翻译是外宣翻译的重要组成部分，但目前很少有人从语用学或认知语言学的角度分析其翻译策略。本文旨在为公示语的翻译研究提供一个新的理论视角，并希望对汉语公示语的英译工作有所启发和指导，以更好的服务于经济文化建设以及对外宣传的各个方面。更多还原
