2 Names of Chinese dishes

Stewed Meatball with Brown Sauce is a famous dish. But some people translate into Fried lion’s head. What have you imaged if you are a foreigner when you see the name? As a king in the forest, if the lion is cooked in this way and appeared on the table, we will of course think China is a rule country. In fact, it is a traditional Chinese dish, which is famous for its head. The lion is the symbol of good wishes. If we translate like that, we must be laughed.
3 How to translate effectively
Translation of Chinese Dishes must consider its geography, history and other cultural factors. When we translate the Chinese dishes, we should strive to follow the following principles, and note the flexible use of relevant translation method.

Many Chinese dishes have been accepted and remembered by foreign friends. For example: Tofu, Baozi, Jiaozi. So we could use Chinese pinyin to translate.
3.1.2 Avoid the principle of virtual to real
Chinese dishes pursuit lucky, wealthy and artistic conception of poetic, so many dish names are just glossy. In order to let foreigners understand the Chinese dishes, we must abandon fictional words and translate the Chinese dish names into simple functional names.

Realistic translation is a kind of translation to the means of food production, names of food materials and shape of food materials. In short, it is translating the food production materials, cooking methods and morphology of straightforward. And then based on correct grammar, we combine the words to English dishes. It is easy to understand the content of Chinese dishes for foreigners. For example: Stewed slices pork with bean curd. Stew describes methods of cooking. Slices pork describes the cooking ingredient.
3.1.2 Freehand translation
Freehand translation reflects to the profound meaning of dish names. Many Chinese dish names are based on the color, smell, cooking methods, cultural background and open the door of appetite. For example: steamed bean curd and minced fish (the whole family is well)
4 Conclusion

Because of the differences of natural geography, climate conditions, resource specialties and eating habits, Chinese dishes are divided into eight cuisines. They are Lu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and Anhui. Su, Zhejiang cuisines like a beautiful girl in South. Shandong and Anhui like Man in north. Guangdong and Fujian dishes like a romantic and elegant son. Sichuan and Hunan dishes like an enriched, talent and skilled celebrity. Eight cuisines in China have their own feature. Even the same materials, the practices of food are different.
