传统饮食文化外文文献翻译英文Memories of traditional food culture in the kampong setting in SingaporeIain BrownleeAbstractBackgroundSingapore is a metropolitan city state that has rapidly transitioned from residents living in traditional multicultural villages known as kampongs to one of the most population-dense and technologically advanced countries in the world. This study aimed to explore the framework of traditional food culture, beliefs and practice in Singaporeans who grew up in kampongs via questionnaire-based interviews.MethodsA convenience sample of participants (n = 34) were recruited through word-of-mouth and interviewed both face to face (n = 29) and by telephone (n = 5). Interviews were conducted in English, Mandarin, and Hokkien using a semistructured questionnaire that included themes preidentified from an exhaustive literature search.ResultsA conceptual framework of five major themes was noted as a result of respondent input and the preidentified structural themes of thequestionnaire. These were self-sustenance and farming, food and water safety, food and beverage retail, dietary habits and culinary practice, and a culture of sharing (or gotong royong). Of these themes, 64% (n = 22) of participants had noted collecting or maintaining fruit and vegetables or rearing chickens. Participants (29%, n = 10) also noted memories of traditional food storage techniques, general feedback which suggested relatively low levels of concern for food safety.ConclusionsMany of these kampong food practices from a kampong were fondly remembered by participants. Consideration of positive food values from early life (such as a strong culture of sharing and togetherness) could help in the development of government drives to improve dietary intake or benefit food security for older Singaporeans.Keywords：Anthropology，Food culture，Food sharing，Gotong royong，Kampong，Singapore1. IntroductionBefore the 1970s, Singapore's population mainly lived in a network of rustic villages, known as kampungs, a term subsequently romanized to “kampongs” . During the 1970s, the government began the housing resettlement program and previous kampong dwellers were relocated in the Housing and Development Board public apartment flats. In most cases, the kampongs themselves have been cleared for urbanredevelopment. A recent project by the National University of Singapore has developed an interactive map of around 220 previous kampong dwellings in and around the main island of Singapore.Settlements have been described in Singapore since the 14th century . Kampong numbers grew rapidly following an influx of immigration from nearby Indonesian Islands and Peninsular Malaya and further afield in the early 19th century following British colonization and the expansion of Singapore's importance as a hub of international trade. Most of the early kampongs were fishing villages and settles along the coast and rivers. Kampongs also developed inland, and these were involved in the cultivation of coconuts and fruits. The settlements were generally found in the rural areas around the eastern coast and the interior of the island, with a relatively small number to the north of the Singapore river. More recently, the term “kampong spirit” has been used to describe a more relaxed and communitarian way of life and was a factor suggested to be limited in modern-day Singapore.The multicultural and inclusive nature of kampongs is likely to have helped to shape Singapore's unique food culture, which is represented by modern-day hawker stalls, coffee shops (“kopitiams”), and food courts. These outlets have multiple kitchens preparing a variety of multiethnic foods and shared seating areas where people of different social and ethnic backgrounds congregate. The most recent National Nutrition Surveyhighlighted that out-of-home dining in hawker centers, coffee shop/stalls, and food courts is common among Singaporean adults. Fig. highlights the position of some of the kampongs found in Singapore during the early years of independence.Alongside a background of national interest in the kampong spirit, this study aimed to uncover the key themes in kampong food culture, as evaluated through in-depth, interviews with middle-aged Singaporeans who previously resided in kampongs.2. MethodsFollowing the ethical approval from Newcastle University Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering Ethics Committee, a series of interviews were carried out. Owing to the exploratory nature of the project, a semistructured qualitative interview was conducted using themes preidentified in the literature review. This approach allowed flexibility for the researcher to probe for information appropriately and participants to express their perspectives more freely.Interview participants (n = 29) were recruited through convenience sampling and snowball sampling by word-of-mouth. Interviews were mainly completed face-to-face, although five participants were interviewed by telephone. Fieldwork was conducted in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Hokkien dialect between October 2016 and January 2017. Information provided by specific participants is presented below usingparticipant's ID number, their age range (to help ensure anonymity), ethnicity, and sex. Unless otherwise stated, interviews were carried out face-to-face in English. The participants selected the theme(s) around kampong food culturethat they preferred discussing before in-depth interviewing. Photographs that related to some kampong food themes (e.g., kitchen environment, street peddlers) were used as a visual cue. For telephone interviewees, the elements were made known to them via instant messaging. Field notes were then transcribed and translated for most participants by a single researcher (DXX). The data were evaluated through thematic analysis because of its applicability in this exploratory study. A conceptual framework was developed with the preidentified themes and themes that were uncovered during the fieldwork.3. ResultsFive major recurrent food-related themes were identified following the evaluation of the transcripts. These themes (self-sustenance and farming, food and water safety, food retail, dietary habit and culinary practice, and food-sharing culture) are presented and discussed in greater detail in the following sections. The demographics of the participants are presented in Table.3.1. Self-sustenance and farmingApproximately 64% (n = 22) of the participants noted rearing chickens in the kampong. Maintaining livestock appeared to be acommon practice among participants who had a large area in their kampongs (n = 7). Two participants remembered breeding services being provided, where an owner would walk around with a boar to propagate sows for a fee. While livestock and vegetables were noted to have required daily maintenance, fruits trees required relatively low input. Some, like jackfruit and starfruit, had to be wrapped with plastic or sacks to prevent insect eating them. One participant made the following comment in relation to livestock and the commonality of ownership: (61- to 70-year-old Indian male): “The chickens will g o everywhere come to our place… no sense of direction… just lay their eggs anyhow… so they will go to every house… if the chickens decide to lay eggs in your place, you're a happy man… if the chickens doesn't go back and the owner never call… we may slaugh ter the chicken [and it] become[s] our feast… We do not know who it belongs to… every house got some chicken… when he [the chicken] have to go out for food… have to release”.3.2. Food and water safetyThe participants interviewed noted limited concern regarding food safety and hygiene during their time in the kampongs. Participants provided interesting responses such as “not washing hands before meals”and “… if see cockroaches crawling on the food means must throw; if no cockroaches seen, we assume the f ood is safe… but we don'tknow if the cockroaches have already crawled across the food”. Limited concern with regard to food hygiene was also noted when participants shared their memories of food peddlers/itinerant hawkers (see below).Owning a “vegetable cabinet” was fondly remembered by 29% of the participants (n = 10) because refrigerators were uncommon, although some noted occasionally buying ice to help keep things chilled. These bamboo or wooden vegetable cabinets are either hung or fixed and included netting for ventilation and to keep out pests. One participant described an indigenous method of placing a water-filled porcelain plate at the legs of the cabinet to create a moat, preventing crawling insects. Another participant described storing raw and cooked food together.There was a mixed consensus regarding types of food that were storable, but the majority of participants came to a similar agreement that food has to be consumed within 24 hours of preparation. Other types of dishes (e.g., curries) were cited to be reheated more frequently (e.g., in the evening of preparation) to reuse them/stop them spoiling.3.3. Food retailMarkets and food centers were open-air sites of food service. Items were either laid on the floor or sold out of tricycles or pushcarts operated by the vendors. These markets did tend to separate fresh items (i.e., fish and vegetables) from cooked food into separate aisles. described the scene as “similar to the market in Thailand”. The market also sold livechickens, and the patrons could choose to have their chickens slaughtered by the vendors or do it themselves at home (n = 4). Some participants (n = 5) also mentioned that the markets were located a distance away from the kampong, and hence they had to travel to the markets by walking, cycling, or bus.Two participants remembered bringing along their own containers to purchase food (porridge and pulut hitam) from the vendors. Snack stands and pasar malamswere also often associated with wayang shows, outdoor cinemas, hungry ghost festival getai shows, and temple celebrations.The term “provision shop” was linked to Chinese and Malay owners while mamashops were reported to be operated by Indians. These convenience stores retailed commodities, spices, livestock feed, snacks, and other nonperishables. These friendly and sincere business owners allowed patrons to purchase goods on credit. “Direct selling” was also a kampong practice, with fish being a specific item mentioned by two participants.3.4. Dietary habits and culinary practiceWhen it came to dietary intake, participants (n = 5) noted that their main priorities in the kampong were availability and affordability of food. One commonality in the food consumption subtheme was consuming home-cooked meals instead of dining out (n = 6) to save money and because of a lack of access to food retail outlets. People also consumeddinner and went to bed earlier (i.e., cooking dinner at 5 pm, consuming dinner by 7 pm before dusk) because of lack of entertainment (n = 2). Three participants mentioned cooking in bulk once daily to last for the whole day (i.e., the remainder from lunch was consumed for dinner and left-overs from dinner were made into porridge the following day).3.5. Food-sharing cultureSharing of items was a major cultural el ement of the “kampong spirit” (n = 7). Although sharing of other items was common, households may have limitations about sharing certain items, including foods. For example, meat tended not to be shared because it was considered expensive, and affordability was an issue. Food (and other) items were generally loaned to others or given to exhibit altruism or hospitality. Food commodities were loaned to neighbors when the items were running low or they were low on funds and shelf space or refrigerator space may be shared with others by individuals who possessed a fridge.4. DiscussionRural kampong dwellers may have relied heavily on self-sustenance because of their low economic status and the inaccessibility of food retailers. Baharin et alpreviously noted that some Singaporean families who moved from their kampong dwellings to apartment blocks missed having plots of land to rear poultry and cultivate fruit trees for their own consumption and for additional income. Self-sustenance has also beenreported among rural communities in the United States. With the access to land for gardening, such households would be able to grow produce more.Owing to the memories associated with producing self-produced foods with traditional methods, these ex-kampong dwellers in modern day may in turn, develop a preference for “natural foods,” free from synthetic chemicals and produced “organically”. The authors are not aware of such a study having been carried out in Singaporeans to date.Limited concern with regard to food safety had been historically noted in relation to traditional out-of-home eateries in the Report of the Hawker Inquiry Commission. The report noted that “The hawkers of cooked food have usually inadequate equipment and water supply to keep their utensils free from infection and to preserve the food from contamination by flies…” Similarly, the lack of basic facilities may lead to poor hygiene and sanitation practices in households of lower socio-economic status in modern times.Similar to the dining habits practiced in the kampong, previous studies have suggested that rural Malaysians and Indonesians tended to prepare sufficient food late in the morning to consume throughout the day without refrigeration. The concept of food waste seemed alien to ex-kampong dwellers. This observation aligns with previous reports that lower income groups and older consumers tend to waste less food, citingcostly food prices and food shortage experienced by older consumers as the likely reason for this. Higher spending power may also have resulted in Singaporean consumers increasing their meat consumption over time and decreasing the frequency of intake of more traditional foods (e.g., vegetables).While the participants described cooking food with charcoal “tasted better,” many other factors may affect the sensory characteristics of the food—including modern farming and production techniques (e.g., changes to animal diet, use of growth hormones, an freezing)—and psychological factors (e.g., association with positive culinary memories). Based on the participants' responses, the sensory perception of kampong food will be evaluated in terms of culinary science.Similar to the kampong spirit, Van Esterik commented that within the small rural villages that still exist in Southeast Asia, reciprocal relations are basic to community survival. Resources such as garden produce, meat, and other foods might be shared with another household in return for help with special occasions such as weddings and funeral. Such reciprocity forms social relations and citizenship within the communit. A study in United States also highlighted that older rural adults perceive food sharing as an integral part of life in the community. Besides sharing food for altruistic reasons (e.g., when individuals lacked money to procure food), sharing and receiving food reinforces the identityof the adults as active community members and consequently, their personal value or worth. Some adults would even intentionally provide excess garden produce to share.When the resettlement program occurred, the physical environment of the flat impacts the dwellers to be more inward-looking, as the land for gardening and rearing poultry are nonexistent. Rehoused flat dwellers in Singapore had previously noted that their privacy was highly valued in the new accommodation because before relocation, toilets and kitchens have to be shared communally in the kampongs.Chang noted that borrowing of things like newspapers, tools, or dishes was rare in modern-day Singapore. This study suggested that there appeared to be more limited trust in people and less concern for each other between neighbors. In an attempt to preserve the food sharing culture and revive the “kampong spirit” in modern-day Singapore, many districts have initiated networking sessions between the neighbors, through sharing of food.This study was exploratory and qualitative in nature. The findings of this study represent the points of view of a small cross-section of Singaporeans who previously lived in kampongs and may therefore not be fully representative of the beliefs held by a wider population. Nonetheless, exploring memories of kampong food culture is timely because of the current focus on social cohesion in Singapore and thelimited information available in this area. Furthermore, the number of individuals who have experience of living in Singaporean kampongs will become less and less over time.While interview-based studies can be effective in uncovering the points of view of individuals, more in-depth understanding could be developed using semistructured focus groups in future studies, where like-minded participants would be able to more openly share their common experiences. The prompts and design of the interview documents may have in part biased participants to only discuss specific aspects of kampong culture. It is also uncertain whether the beliefs and current practices of ex-kampong dwellers differ from individuals who grew up in different setting. While it would have been ideal to carry out all interviews face-to-face, this would have meant that the views of a lower number of participants ended up being included in the current study. Previous research has suggested that interviews carried out by telephone can produce data of a comparable quality to that collected face-to-face.5. ConclusionsIt appears that kampong food culture has, to an extent, impacted modern food practices and beliefs in Singapore, particularly in relation to multicultural hawker centers. Encouraging practices of food sharing may be a means to benefit social cohesion in modern-day Singapore. Further exploration of kampong food culture seems timely before the opportunityfor collection of primary information (from ex-kampong dwellers) is lost forever.中文新加坡甘榜地区传统饮食文化伊恩·布朗利摘要研究背景新加坡是一个大都市城市，已从传统的多元文化村庄（称为甘榜）迅速转变为世界上人口密度最高和技术最先进的国家之一。

中国饮食文化翻译初探(1)

英语知识【摘要】中国人向来“以食为天”，无论是基本的生存需要：衣食住行，还是进一步的生活需求：吃喝玩乐，都离不开“食”与“吃”。

中国的饮食文化源远流长，博大精深，是跨文化交际的一项重要内容。

因此，在跨文化翻译中，饮食文化翻译是翻译中的一个重要部分，它具有跨文化性质以及传播文化的历史性意义。

本文以饮食文化翻译的本质为基础，总结在饮食文化翻译中常见的问题，探讨翻译的优化策略，最后归纳出针对这方面的有效方法。

【关键词】文化跨文化饮食文化传播文化翻译一、中华饮食文化与翻译饮食是一种文化现象，它具有文化的共性。

语言是文化的载体，翻译是文化的传通。

对于翻译，传统观念认为，就是两种语言间的转换，而忽视了翻译的文化问题。

事实上，在跨文化交际中，交际者遇到的最大困难不是语言，而恰恰是文化。

翻译本身就是不同文化间交流的产物，是跨文化传通。

20世纪下半叶，翻译的研究出现文化转向，目前，在翻译研究界，人们把对翻译的意义和作用推向了另一个新的研究方向——文化交流与传播。

人们把目光投向了翻译承载的使命，把翻译置于各民族文化交流的大背景中进行考察。

因此，饮食文化的翻译研究也应置于中国与世界接轨的大背景下进行。

经历了五千多年历史的中华饮食文化，博大精深，是中国人民的光荣与自豪。

目前，文化与翻译的研究大多着眼于宏观，而专门讨论文化某一领域翻译比较少。

据悉，北京为了迎接2008奥运，针对菜单翻译问题，向社会各界征集对《中文菜单英文译法》的意见，，收录了2700多条菜单及酒水的英文，另外，还专门组织了专家研究讨论有关菜名的翻译，旨在让国外旅客更方便地了解中国饮食文化。

菜名实际上是一国文化的体现，老外对中华饮食文化的了解很大一部份就是从中国菜中体现出来的，如果外国人能明白我们的一些菜名的寓意，或是把这些菜名弄明白，实在是在学习一门艺术，他们定会因此而更了解和喜欢中国。

二、饮食翻译中的文化身份问题基于文化研究的广阔视野来探讨华夏饮食文化的翻译，就不能不涉及到其文化身份问题。

中西方饮食文化的差异英语作文初中

English Essay: Differences in Chinese and Western Food CulturesThe world is a vast tapestry woven with diverse cultures, each contributing its unique hues to the grand narrative. Among these, the differences in Chinese and Western food cultures stand out prominently, reflecting not only distinct culinary traditions but also profound cultural values and lifestyles.Firstly, the focus of meals holds a significant divergence. In Western cuisine, meals tend to be centered around a main course, often accompanied by side dishes and dessert. This structure emphasizes the importance of the main dish, which is often a hearty meat-based meal. Conversely, Chinese dining culture embraces a more communal approach, where a variety of dishes are served simultaneously, encouraging sharing and a diverse dining experience. Each dish, no matter how small, is considered essential to the overall meal's harmony.Secondly, the use of ingredients and cooking techniques varies greatly. Western cooking heavily relies on dairy products, such as butter, cheese, and cream, which add richness and depth to dishes. Meat, especially beef and pork, is also a staple. Chinese cuisine, on the other hand, boasts a vast array of ingredients, including vegetables, seafood, tofu, and various spices and herbs. Cooking techniques like stir-frying, steaming, and braising are preferred, emphasizing the natural flavors of the ingredients and preserving their nutritional value.Moreover, the role of utensils and dining etiquette differs. In Western settings, knives, forks, and spoons are the norm, reflecting a more individualistic approach to dining. Dining etiquette emphasizes proper table manners and the proper use of utensils. In contrast, Chinese dining often involves chopsticks, which not only facilitate the consumption of a wide range of foods but also symbolize unity and harmony, as diners share from a common platter. Dining etiquette in China focuses on respect for elders, timely serving of food, and maintaining a lively conversation during meals.Lastly, the concept of balance and harmony is paramount in Chinese cuisine, whereas Western cuisine tends to emphasize individual flavors and textures. Chinese cooking adheres to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, where foods are classified according to their properties (hot, cold, neutral) and their effects on the body. Meals are carefully balanced to promote health and well-being. Western cuisine, while also striving for flavor combinations, does not necessarily adhere to such holistic principles.In conclusion, the differences between Chinese and Western food cultures are deeply rooted in their respective histories, traditions, and philosophies. Thesevariations not only enrich our dining experiences but also offer insights into the diverse ways in which cultures around the world approach food, nutrition, and social interaction.中文翻译：中西方饮食文化的差异世界是一幅由多元文化交织而成的壮丽画卷，每种文化都为这幅画卷增添了独特的色彩。

中国饮食文化翻译

浅谈中国饮食文化翻译摘要：本文以饮食文化翻译的本质为基础，总结在饮食文化翻译中常见的问题，并结合跨文化交际和翻译实践, 从几个不同的角度探讨了饮食文化的翻译方法和技巧, 对翻译教学和研究中国饮食文化的翻译有一定的价值和意义。

关键词：饮食文化翻译一、中国饮食文化与翻译中华民族的饮食文化历来以历史悠久、特征鲜明、百味百格而著称于世，随着中国对外开放与交流的加强，中华民族的饮食文化也逐步走出国门，吸引了越来越多的外国朋友的关注并得到他们的青睐。

饮食文化是民族文化的一种，因而对于饮食文化的翻译应该置于文化交流的背景之下，也就是说，通过翻译，传递出中国饮食文化的内涵以及博大精深，而不应该仅仅是语言的转换。

目前，在翻译界对于文化的研究与实践大多是在宏观的领域内进行，很少有人专门进行某一分支的研讨。

以饮食文化为例，通过翻译可以让更多的外国人了解中国饮食文化，进而深入了解中国的传统文化。

那么，翻译作为跨文化传通，如何才能发挥其本质价值，让世界人民都认识中华饮食文化，是值得探讨的一个重要问题。

二、中国饮食文化翻译中存在的问题（一）语义模糊因为中式菜肴本身蕴含的浓重的文化气息，导致在翻译的过程中译者往往拘泥于字面意思，而没有深入考虑到文化的传达，从而翻译后的菜名意思僵硬，甚至不知所云。

比如“水煮鳝片”翻译成”the water boils the shan slice”，如此按字面来翻译成的英文实在令人啼笑皆非。

还有把”麻婆豆腐”翻译成”满脸雀斑的女人制作的豆腐”，”红烧狮子头”翻译成”烧红了的狮子头”，”四喜丸子”翻译成”四个高兴的肉团”，看了都会叫人跑掉。

因此，对于菜名的翻译，译者切忌没理解清楚其真正的含义而直接用字对字的方法来译。

试论中国饮食文化的英语翻译

对待外来文化，要遵循“以我为主，为我所用”，不能为了迎合外国文化而丢失了自身文化，失去文化自信心。

目前来看，有一些菜名就是被外来文化冲击严重，导致换了翻译名字，失去了中华文化的味道。

比如，豆腐这道菜，一般情况下都是翻译成“tofu ”的，但是随着外来文化的冲击，直接将豆腐翻译成“beancurd ”，从英语的角度理解就是豆子制成的凝乳。

可以看到，这个翻译名字既不雅观，也不符合豆腐的文化内涵，而且还容易产生歧义和误会。

2.中西方饮食文化的差异2.1中国饮食文化的特点中国饮食文化种类丰富，毕竟在中国古代就有着“民以食为天”的俗语。

中国人民特别注重饮食，而且在各省各地都有着特色小吃和著名菜系，常见的有粤菜、川菜等。

这与中国的经济和文化有关，因为中国一直以来都是农业大国，出产的美食特别多，而且还以复杂化、精细化闻名于世。

另外，中国也有着独特的菜肴烹饪方式，保证了菜能够原汁原味，特别讲究“色、香、味”俱全。

所以，在翻译菜名时，也要有一定的工序涉及，特别是在菜品介绍时。

因此，我们在菜品介绍的过程之中，必须结合中国传统的饮食文化来进行相应的分析，只有这样，才可以更好地对传统的菜肴进行相应的点评，不断地在这个过程之中提高人们对于饮食文化的认可程度。

在中国传统的饮食文化当中，对于美食会采用不同的烹饪方随着我国改革开放的进程越来越深入，我国与世界的交流越来越频繁。

现阶段，中外文化交流日益频繁，我国文化也逐渐被更多国家接受和了解，其中最为突出的是我国的饮食文化，很多外国留学生在我国生活和学习后都会对我国美食给予一个好评。

另外，随着旅游文化的发展，我国也迎来了比较多的外国游客。

这当中就离不开饮食话题，如果菜名翻译有误或者有歧义，容易引起纷争，不利于我国形象建设。

基于此，本文详细探析了中国饮食文化的英语翻译。

中国饮食文化菜谱的翻译探讨

中国饮食文化菜谱的翻译探讨罗赛群(韶关大学外语系韶关512005)摘要本文运用翻译理论和翻译技巧,分析了中国饮食文化菜谱的文化内涵,结合跨文化交际和翻译实践,从几个不同的角度探讨了菜谱的翻译方法和技巧,对翻译教学和研究中国特色菜谱的翻译以及宴会口译有一定的价值和意义。

关键词饮食;菜谱;翻译;技巧中图分类号H31中国是一个人口众多的国家,也是全世界善吃的民族之一。

老子曾说过:“虚其心实其腹,”“圣人为腹不为目。

”由此看来,吃最要紧,其他可以不问。

“今朝有酒,今朝醉。

”中国流传这么一句话:“只有两脚的爹娘不能吃,四脚的眠床不能吃。

”中国人吃的范围之广,真可使国人为之吃惊。

中国人于世界普通的食物之外,还吃着他国人所不吃的珍稀;吃西瓜的皮,吃鲨鱼的鳍,吃燕子的窠,吃狗,吃乌龟,吃蛇、吃狸猫,吃癞蛤蟆,吃癞头鼋,吃小老鼠。

至于吃的方法,更是五花八门,有烤,有炖,有蒸,有卤,有炸,有煨,有熏,有醉,有灸,有溜,有炒,有拌,真真一言难尽。

古来尽有许多做菜的名厨司,其名字都和卿相一样煊赫赫地留在青史上。

不,他们之中有的并升至高位,老老实实就是卿相。

就汉饮食文化的菜谱而言,古来许多名士费尽苦心,别出心裁,考证出好几部特别的食谱来。

这些食谱还与中国的亚文化有着密切的关系,既使同一菜谱在不同的亚文化圈的食谱中,也可能有不同的所指。

然而,纵观中国饮食文化的菜谱,我们不难发现,菜谱的命名方式大多是追求“形美、音美、意美”而“图有虚名”;以其结构相称、平衡、对仗、相关追求形美:以其谐音、同音、押韵追求音美:以其祝福、祈福、好彩、赞美追求意美。

正由于中国饮食文化的这些特点以及其独特的方式,英译时总会觉得“吃不消”,译不了。

但如果我们真正“吃透”了“原汁原味”,必然会找到它自身的可译性,可以用翻译的技巧来处理。

中西饮食文化的差异较大,同一食品可能有各自的不同表达,而同一表达又有不同的所指。

语码的非对应性的表现十分突出。

如广东有道菜叫“发财好市”,英语中很难用对应的词来表达;西方的许多菜名也很难用完全对应的汉语词语来表达,类似的情况很多。

中国文化习俗段落翻译

中国文化习俗段落翻译1. 中西方饮食习惯（eating habits）存在极大差异。

不同于西方那种每人一盘食物的饮食习惯，在中国，菜肴是被放在桌上让大家共同分享的。

如果你在中国主人家做客，就要做好有一大桌食物的心理准备。

中国人对于自己的烹饪文化（culture of cuisine）感到非常自豪，而且会尽全力去展示自己的好客（hospitality）。

而且有时候，中国主人会用他们的筷子把食物夹到你的碗里或盘子中。

这是礼貌的体现。

2. 在中国，小孩的满月酒（One-Month-Old Feast）和抓周（One-Year-Old Catch）仪式独具特色。

小孩出生满一个月的那天，孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋挚友，邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。

小孩儿慢周岁的那天，有抓周到额仪式。

按照中国的传统，父母及他人不给予任何的引导和暗示，任孩子随意挑选，看他先抓什么后抓什么，并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将从事的职业以及前途。

参考译文1.There are great differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. Unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a table of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality. And sometimes the Chinese hosts use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness.参考译文2: In China, One-Month-Old Feast and One-Year-Old Catch of a baby are of unique Chinese characteristics. On the day when a baby is a month old, the family of the baby will invite their friends and relatives to a ceremony to celebrate the occasion. On the day when a baby is one year old, there is a ceremony of One-Year-Old Catch. According to Chinese traditional custom, nobody will give any instruction or clue to the baby so that it is left free to choose by itself. Watching the baby catch the articles it likes, the family can then make predictions about its potential interest, future career and development.春节贴年画（pasting New Year Print s）的风俗源自于往房子外面的门上贴门神（Door Gods）的传统，随着木质雕刻品（board carvings）的出现，年画包含了更广泛地主题，最出名的就是门神，三大神——福神、薪神、和兽神（three Gods of Blessings, Salary and Longevity）,寓意着庄稼丰收、家畜兴旺和庆祝春节。

中西方差异对比----饮食文化（中英文对照）

餐饮产品由于地域特征、气侯环境、风俗习惯等因素的影响，会出现在原料、口味、烹调方法、饮食习惯上的不同程度的差异。

正是因为这些差异，餐饮产品具有了强烈的地域性。

中西文化之间的差异造就了中西饮食文化的差异，而这种差异来自中西方不同的思维方式和处世哲学。

中国人注重“天人合一”，西方人注重“以人为本”。

这里简要从下面三个方面谈谈中西方饮食文化的差异。

The dining product as a result of factor and so on region characteristic, climatic environment, manners and customs influences, will appear in raw material, the taste, the cooking method, the food habit varying degree difference. Was precisely because of these differences, the dining product had the intense localization.

Chinese people pay attention to the "Heaven and Man," in the West focus on "people-oriented."From here, a brief talk about the following three areas in the Western diet and cultural differences.一、两种不同的饮食观念对比注重“味”的中国饮食，西方是一种理性饮食观念。

中国饮食文化的翻译技巧和策略

中国饮食文化的翻译技巧和策略如今国际性交流越来越频繁，我国的传统文化在交流中逐渐流向国际，受到很多外国朋友的青睐，但如何通过翻译的形式，让外国朋友了解到我国传统文化的内涵，成为我国关注的重要问题。

其中中国饮食文化作为中国传统文化的独特分支，其以独特的口味和丰富的种类受到广泛的关注。

要使对中国饮食文化感兴趣的外国朋友更进一步了解中国传统文化，则需要在翻译中体现中国饮食文化的内涵。

一、中国饮食文化翻译及中西方饮食文化差异文化是一种可以体现和传承某一国家和民族的历史、风情、习俗、艺术、思维、价值观念等，是一种可以进行交流的意识形态。

宽泛而言，人类社会与文化关系非常紧密，几乎所有的社会活动、人类行为等都与文化相关。

其中饮食文化应当作为文化的重要组成部分，我国饮食文化博大精深、源远流传，其存在深厚的内涵和价值。

随着我国经济的进步和科技的发展，如今我国与其他国家之间的交流越来越普遍，越来越多的外国友人被中国特色文化所吸引，其中中国饮食文化以期独特性和丰富性，受到广大外国朋友的关注，中国饮食也逐渐流传到国外。

如何让外国友人在了解和品尝中国美食时，并感受到中国饮食文化的内涵，成为翻译界考虑的问题。

在进行中国饮食文化翻译时，如果仅仅采用简单的字面翻译方法，则会让外国友人无法了解到中国饮食文化的内涵。

中国饮食文化作为中国民族文化的重要组成部分，良好的翻译应当展现出饮食文化的内涵。

由于中国与其他国家的历史、地理、生活习惯、习俗、思维及价值观念等都存在一定的差别，导致中国饮食文化与其他国家的饮食文化也较差较大的差异。

很多翻译者在进行饮食文化的翻译时，由于各种因素导致中国饮食翻译后，外国友人难以理解，甚至会误解为另一种东西。

如中国和西方国家存在饮食文化差异，中国人民认为饮食在人们的生活中具有重要的作用，其不仅使为了填饱肚子，还是促进人与人交流的主要条件。

但西方国家则认为饮食单纯只起到营养品的作用，并没有赋予饮食更加深厚的内涵。

浅谈中国传统美食的英文翻译

浅谈中国传统美食的英文翻译王丽君，朱惠娟，陈梅兰（中国地质大学江城学院外国语学部，湖北武汉 430200）摘要：中国的饮食文化源远流长，博大精深，探究中国传统美食的英文翻译在跨文化交流中起着重要作用。

做好传统美食的英文翻译有助于树立良好的国家形象。

而传统的菜名翻译方法大多着眼于宏观，缺乏对其文化的传承，笔者通过学习、总结菜名的翻译方法，将其运用于小吃的翻译，归纳出了相应的翻译策略。

关键词：传统美食；英文翻译；文化中图分类号： H059 文献标识码： A 文章编号： 1009-5039(2012)02-0160-02在当今政治经济全球化的过程中，饮食文化已成为跨文化交流的重要内容，而中国饮食文化源远流长，博大精深，探究中国传统美食的英文翻译具有跨文化性质和传播文化的历史意义。

据报道， 2011年8月，北京风味小吃将打包申遗，申遗工作和“北京小吃现状”调查项目已经正式启动。

北京小吃技艺精湛，风味独特，文化底蕴深厚，是非物质文化遗产的重要载体和宝贵的民族自主品牌，但其品牌价值并没有得到充分地挖掘和利用。

日前，“北京风味小吃”申遗项目已通过区级有关部门审核，传统美食的保护与传承受到政府的重视。

2011年8月18日，美国副总统拜登访问中国，在美国新任驻华大使的陪同下，品尝老北京传统小吃。

有人对此发表评论，认为拜登此举属“亲民”行为，美国政治家很善于塑造公众形象，美国使馆很会做公关传播，值得借鉴。

事实表明，中国的传统美食不仅吸引着外国贵宾前来品尝，而且已成为中国特有的符号与象征，在政治舞台上扮演着重要角色。

然而，目前中国美食文化的发展并不平衡。

在武汉，热闹繁华的小吃街——“户部巷”里韩国料理、日本料理比比皆是。

而武汉另一以夜市闻名的美食街——“吉庆街”也已繁华不再。

传统小吃正在遭受外来文化的冲击，传统美食文化的传承也已刻不容缓。

因此，挖掘我国传统美食的文化价值有助于传播中国食文化，而探究中国传统美食的英文翻译更有助于加强中西方文化交流。

浅谈中西方饮食文化差异在英语翻译的体现

浅谈中西方饮食文化差异在英语翻译的体现中西方饮食文化差异在英语翻译中体现引言：随着全球化的加速和交流的扩大，不同文化之间的交流与融合也日益频繁。

饮食文化是体现一国或一地区特色文化的重要组成部分，而中西方饮食文化之间存在着许多差异。

在英语翻译中，这些差异常常需要被准确地传达，以确保信息的准确性，以及在跨文化交流中避免误解和歧义。

一、食物名称的翻译中西方饮食文化差异首先体现在食物名称的翻译上。

由于中西方的饮食文化差异，很多食物在中西方两种语言之间没有直接的对应词汇。

例如，中餐中常见的“豆腐皮”在英语中通常翻译为“tofu skin”，而西方菜肴中常见的“steak”翻译为中文中的“牛排”。

这些翻译不仅需要确保名称的准确性，还需考虑读者的语言习惯和理解能力。

二、餐食结构的翻译中西方饮食文化差异还体现在餐食结构的翻译上。

中餐以米饭或面食为主食，以及多菜一汤的搭配方式，而西方餐食通常以主菜、配菜和面包为主。

在翻译中，需要准确地传达餐食的结构，并使用与目标语言对应的词汇，以确保读者对餐食的组成在翻译中能够清晰地了解。

三、饮食习惯的翻译中西方饮食文化差异还体现在饮食习惯的翻译上。

中餐注重共享和碟碗俱举的就餐方式，而西方餐食更注重个人用餐。

此外，中西方的用餐时间、用餐礼仪等方面也存在差异。

在翻译中，需要在准确传达饮食习惯的基础上，用简明扼要的方式呈现给目标读者，以避免冗长翻译和理解上的困惑。

四、食材差异的翻译中西方饮食文化差异还体现在食材的翻译上。

中西方两种文化中使用的食材存在着差异，如西方文化中常用的奶油、黄油，在中餐文化中使用较少。

在翻译中，需要选择适当的对应词汇，以确保食材的名称在目标语言中能够被读者理解。

五、烹饪方法和口味的翻译中西方饮食文化差异还体现在烹饪方法和口味的翻译上。

中餐中常见的炒、煮、炖等烹饪方式，在西方菜肴中可能没有直接的对应词汇。

此外，中西方的口味偏好也存在差异，如中餐中常见的酱油、料酒在西方菜肴中可能需要用不同的调料来表达。
