There is song in English with a chorus that goes like this:
有首英文歌是这么唱的：
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign , Blockin out the scenery, breakin my mind, Do this, dont do that, cant you read the sign?
标语！标语！到处都是标语！大煞风景，头昏脑胀。干这个！别干那个！你难道看不明白标语吗？
This song is very fitting because todays post is about signs in English, signs that you will see on the road while driving or when walking down a street. Many of these signs are self explanatory, because the symbols or pictures used are obvious, to get a message across to everyone, even if they cant read. However, lets take a closer look at the signs in the picture below, so you can fully understand what they mean in case you come across one of them in America。
这首歌很合适这篇文章的主题英文中的标志。你可以在开车、散步的时候看到这类标志。大多数标志一清二楚，由于所用的标记或是图片很明显，即使不识字，每一个人都能了解它传达的信息。不过，让大家仔细看看下列标志，如此当你碰上它们就能完全理解了。
