Meanwhile, under the major background of the unprecedented active events of international architectural culture exchange, the translation of domestic leisure and entertainment architectures also meets the demands of times and social development.The contents of this translation practice report excerpt from one of the guide books of architecture design—Leisure & Entertainment Architecture Design(second edition).

Then the fourth part is the summary of the translation practice, which summarizes the unresolved problems in translation and discusses the enlightenment for future translation. This report is a translation practice of architecture and design industry, thus before translating this kind of text, besides accumulating extensive knowledge in all aspects, we are required to correct our attitude and make full preparations.
