去年4月，北京市人民政府外事办公室的专家顾问到朝阳区CBD、西城区金融街进行检查，发现这些地区普遍设立了英语标识，但其国际化、准确率仍有待提升。
Do not glissade when you see a sign in a washroom telling you to "Slide carefully!" as it actually means "Caution wet floor!"
在卫生间看到“Slide carefully”这样的标识千万不要想着表演芭蕾滑步，因为它的意思其实是“地滑，小心”。
Likewise, do not look for a bowl when a bank sign asks you to "wait outside a rice noodle". Instead, search for a yellow line, or "one-meter line," which is spelled the same as "a (serving of) rice noodle" in Chinese.
跟上面那个一样，在银行看到“wait outside a rice noodle”这样的标识也不要去想着去找个碗来。其实，你得找一条黄线，或者“一米线”，它和“米线”的字是一样的。
2022年北京将举办冬奥会，如何向世界展示国际大都市形象，外语标识是第一扇窗口。对于机场和CBD等国际化程度较高的地区，外语标识更是“脸面”，要确保准确规范。
In order to make the city a more foreigner-friendly place, Beijing is in the midst of a colossal clean-up of the hilarious, ubiquitous English mistranslations known as Chinglish.
为了让城市对外国人更友好，北京最近在大量清理那些到处都有的搞笑英语雷翻译，一般也叫作中式英语。
Chen Mingming, executive vice president of the Translators Association of China and advisor to the correction campaign, said: "Translations of public signs not only help foreigners, but their quality also shapes the image of a city."
中国译协执行副会长，本次纠错活动的专家顾问陈明明表示：“公共场所标识的翻译不仅能帮助到外国人，标识的翻译质量也塑造着城市形象。”
Some mistranslations were a result of verbatim translations such as a shop sign that reads "name smoke name liquor" (branded cigarette and liquor) on Beijing's shopping street Wangfujing, while some others stumbled at polysemantic Chinese words like an emergency exit whose English translation sign reads "export"(export and exit share the same word in Chinese).
有些翻译错误是因为字对字的直译，例如说北京购物街王府井的一个商店标识“name smoke name liquor”（名烟名酒），另外还有一些让人读不顺的标识是用到了多义的中文词，比方说有一个紧急出口的英文翻译是“export”（export和exit的中文字是一样的，都是“出口”）。
Zhang Qian, vice head of the office, said signage of private businesses where owners often resort to the Internet for quick solutions, have formed a new citadel for wrong translations.
北京市人民政府外事办公室副主任张谦表示，私营企业的老板往往在网上翻译他们的标识，出成品快，因此也就多出了一大堆错误译例。
不少企业和商家设立了英文标识，但或许是出于成本的考虑，许多标识的翻译看起来都是不准确的机翻，改正这些Chinglish还是很有必要的。另外还有一些在非应试场合出现也无伤大雅的中式表达，因为它们的易用性，而成功普及开来，最终得到权威的认证。
