中餐菜名翻译技巧
中餐菜名翻译技巧
随着我国日益走向国际化，餐饮业也面临着走向世界这个问题。

因此，作为餐饮业的从业人员，或多或少地懂一点有关餐饮方面的专业英语，是非常必要的。

餐饮专业英语主要包括日常会话用语、烹饪技术用语和中餐英文菜单等等，而这其中尤以中餐英文菜单用得最为普遍。

要将中餐菜单翻译成英文，就先得了解中餐菜名的构成及命名方法。

中餐菜名通常由原料名称，烹制方法、菜肴的色香味形器、菜肴的创始人或发源地等构成。

这种反映菜肴内容和特色的命名方法叫做写实性命名法，此外还有反映菜肴深刻含义的写意性命名法。

由于汉语和英语的差异很大，我们在把中餐菜名由中文译成英文的时候，应该采用写实性命名法，尽量将菜肴的原料、烹制方法、菜肴的味型等翻译出来，让客人一目了然。

将以下几点"公式"(中英文对照)介绍如下，以供大家参考。

一、以主料开头的翻译方法
1、介绍菜肴的主料和辅料：
公式：主料(形状)+(with)辅料
例：杏仁鸡丁chicken cubes with almond
牛肉豆腐beef with bean curd
西红柿炒蛋Scrambled egg with tomato
2、介绍菜肴的主料和味汁：
公式：主料(形状)+(with,in)味汁
例：芥末鸭掌duck webs with mustard sauce
葱油鸡chicken in Scallion oil
米酒鱼卷fish rolls with rice wine
二、以烹制方法开头的翻译方法
1、介绍菜肴的烹法和主料：
公式：烹法+主料(形状)
例：软炸里脊soft-fried pork fillet
烤乳猪roast suckling pig
炒鳝片Stir-fried eel slices
2、介绍菜肴的烹法和主料、辅料
公式：烹法+主料(形状)+(with)辅料
仔姜烧鸡条braised chicken fillet with tender ginger
3、介绍菜肴的烹法、主料和味汁：
公式：烹法+主料(形状)+(with,in)味汁
例：红烧牛肉braised beef with brown sauce
鱼香肉丝fried shredded pork with Sweet and sour sauce
清炖猪蹄stewed pig hoof in clean soup
三、以形状或口感开头的翻译方法
1、介绍菜肴的形状(口感)和主料、辅料
公式：形状(口感)+主料+(with)辅料
例：芝麻酥鸡crisp chicken with sesame
陈皮兔丁diced rabbit with orange peel
时蔬鸡片sliced chicken with seasonal vegetables
2、介绍菜肴的口感、烹法和主料
公式：口感+烹法+主料
例：香酥排骨crisp fried spareribs
水煮嫩鱼tender stewed fish
香煎鸡块fragrant fried chicken
3、介绍菜肴的形状(口感)、主料和味汁
公式：形状(口感)+主料+(with)味汁
例：茄汁鱼片sliced fish with tomato sauce
椒麻鸡块cutlets chicken with hot pepper
黄酒脆皮虾仁crisp shrimps with rice wine sauce
四、以人名或地名开头的翻译方法
1、介绍菜肴的创始人(发源地)和主料
公式：人名(地名)+主料
例：麻婆豆腐Ma Po beancurd
四川水饺Sichuan boiled dumpling
2、介绍菜肴的创始人(发源地)、烹法和主料
公式：人名(地名)+烹法+主料
例：东坡煨肘DongPo stewed pork joint
北京烤鸭Roast Beijing Duck
在中餐菜名翻译成英文的过程中，可以采用多种不同的方法，而且每一道菜都可以从不同的角度入手进行翻译。

例如，川菜中的"宫保鸡丁"这道菜就有以下几种译法：
1.sauteed chicken cubes with peanuts
2.Gongbao chicken cubes
3.diced chicken with chilli and peanuts
由此可见，中餐菜名的英译方法是灵活多变的。

至于我们在翻译中应该采用哪种方法，可根据各人的习惯和具体情况确定。

不过根据笔者的经验，只要掌握了第一种以主料开头的翻译方法，对其它种类的翻译方法便可以触类旁通，我们只需根据文中所列出的翻译公式去相应作一些交换就行了。
