Abstract
This paper uses Russian public signs filmed in China and Russia as corpus, applies comparative analysis, qualitative analysis and error analysis to examine and correct semantic paradigmatic errors in the Russian translation of Chinese public notices, and explains the reasons for such errors. The findings indicate that the main issues in the Russian translation of Chinese public notices include semantic confusion of homonyms, misuse of synonyms, confusion between words with the same root and improper juxtaposition of hypernyms and hyponyms.
