　　有首英文歌是这么唱的：
　　Sign, sign, everywhere a sign , Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind, Do this, don’t do that, can’t 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！
你难道看不懂标语吗？

　　This song is very fitting because today’s 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 can’t read.
However, let’s 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。

　　这首歌非常适合这篇文章的主题——英文中的标志。
你可以在开车、散步的时候看到这些标志。

不过，让我们仔细看看下列标志，这样当你碰上它们就可以遥理解了。
