| | Is the
Honours Room
an
Honour Students' Room
?
It is, literally, "honour room," but I don't understand how it would be used: is it for the exclusive use of honour students?
Department of the Young Pioneers Brigade
or better
Department of the Brigade of Young Pioneers
Taekwondo Hall
Gymnasium
gives the impression of a large empty room, perhaps
Training Gym
or
Sports Club
might be better (it has weight training equipment and so on)...?
I think it would be more natural to say
Arts and Crafts Studio
(although the order is the opposite of that in Chinese, i.e. "crafts and arts" )? |

| | Good, I will adopt almost all your suggestions.
Honour-- the requester said, it was the honours gained by the school.
Feel free to revise.

| | Hi pluiepoco,
Do you mean
Awards Room
where certificates and trophies the school has won are displayed? |
| |

| | I think the honours are not to be re-granted to anyone, but purely for exhibition, so students will be pround of their school's victory and history. |

| | YEs, exactly. I had the same idea as you to translate it into awards room, but the Chinese literal meaning is honours room, so I gave up.
Since you also point out this. I will support.
Please edit. |

| | thank you all! I really appreciate your work.that's good.but Department of the Brigade of Young Pioneers and CCP Branch Secretary's Office seem too long to be made doorplates. so are there any better ways to solve this problem? |

| | Hello Miss Lin!
If they are too long, maybe you could say just
Young Pioneers' Brigade
and
CCP Secretary's Office
In the first case, people will naturally understand that it is only a Department of the Young Pioneers' Brigade, not the whole Brigade! 
And in the second case, the Secretary works for the CCP, even if s/he works for it only indirectly, i.e. at the branch office. So I think it would be enough to say only "CCP Secretary's Office."
Are the above options short enough for you? I don't think I can make them any shorter without losing the meanings! |
