They should call 桃浦新村站 "Taopu Newly Estates", like on the bus! Hehe. 2. Jiading Xincheng is an interesting one. 松江大学城 was translated into English, "Songjiang University Town"; but 松江新城 was left in pinyin, "Songjiang Xincheng". I wonder if they'll <a href="http://www.metrofans.sh.cn/thread-31018-1-1.html" rel="nofollow">regret that decision</a> and change back to a translation for 嘉定新城, something like "New Jiading City". 3. I'm wondering why you included "International" in "Shanghai International Circuit"? The <a href="http://www.icsh.sh.cn/gb/special/node_19887.htm" rel="nofollow">track's website</a> just says "Shanghai Circuit", but your translation is more pleasing to the ear... I wonder if they can give the station a sub-title, like the track's: "Shanghai International Circuit: Speeding With Shanghai!". Three comments:
