中英文菜肴翻译方法
四年级数学上册期末试卷-青蛙日记
中餐菜单翻成英文的四个公式 英文美食
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,以便
让客人一目了然。为了让大家更好地掌握将中餐菜名译成英文的技巧,笔者特
将
自己在翻译中总结出来的几点“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
.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
.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, hot sauce,
brown sauce, white 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
.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
.介绍菜肴的烹法和主料、辅料:公式:烹法+主料(形状)+(with)辅料
1
例:仔姜烧鸡条braised chicken
fillet with tender ginger
.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 inc lean soup
三、以形状或口感开头的翻译方法
.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
.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
.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
.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MaPo bean curd
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:
.sauced chicken cubes
with peanuts
.Gongbao chicken cubes
.diced chicken with chili and peanuts
由此可见,中餐菜名的英译方法是灵活多变的。至于我们在翻译中最终采用哪种
方法,则可根据各人的
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

Fujian Cuisine
Fujian cuisine, also called Min Cai for
short, holds an important position in China's
culinary art. Fujian's economy and culture
began flourishing after the Southern Song
Dynasty (-). During the middle Qing Dynasty
around th century, famous Fujian
officials and
literati promoted the Fujian cuisine so it
gradually spread to other parts
of China.
Fujian cuisine comprises three branches --
Fuzhou, South Fujian and West Fujian.
There
are slight differences among them. Fuzhou dishes,
quite popular in eastern,
central and northern
Fujian Province, are more fresh, delicious, and
less salty, sweet,
and sour; South Fujian
dishes, popular in Xiamen, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and
the
golden triangle of South Fujian, are sweet
and hot and use hot sauces, custard, and
orange juice as flavorings; West Fujian dishes
are salty and hot, prevailing in Hakka
region
with strong local flavor. As Fujian people
emigrate overseas, their cuisine
become
popular in Taiwan and abroad. Generally speaking,
Fujian dishes are slightly
sweet and sour, and
less salty, and often use the red distiller's
grain for flavoring.
()Ingredients of seafood
and mountain delicacies: Fujian cuisine emphasizes
seafood
and mountain delicacies. Fujian
Province has a favorable geographical location
with
mountains in its north and sea to its
south. Many mountain delicacies such as
mushroom, bamboo shoots and tremella are often
found here. The coastal area
produces
varieties of fish and kinds of turtles and
shellfish. It also produces edible
bird's
nest, cuttlefish, and sturgeon. These special
products are all used in Fujian
cuisine. The
local people are good at cooking seafood,
featuring in methods of
stewing, boiling,
braising, quick-boiling, and steaming, etc.
() Fine slicing techniques: Fujian cuisine
stresses on fine slicing techniques so much
that it is reputed as sliced ingredients are
as thin as paper and shredded as slim as
hairs. Everything sliced serves its original
aroma. Fine slicing techniques may better
show
the aroma and texture of food. Cutting is
important in Fujian cuisine. Most
dishes are
made of seafood, and if the seafood is not cut
well, the dishes will fail to
8
have their true flavor.
()
Various soup and broth: The most characteristic
aspect of Fujian cuisine is that its
dishes
are served in soup.
() Exquisite
culinary art: Fujian dishes are tasty because of
their emphasis on a series
of delicate
procession: selecting ingredients, mixing flavors,
timing the cooking and
controlling the heat.
When a dish is less salty, it tastes more
delicious. Sweetness
makes a dish tastier,
while sourness helps remove the seafood smell.
Typical dishes are Buddha-jumping-over-
the-wall, flaked spiral shell lightly pickled
in rice liquor, litchi fish, and mussels
quick-boiled in chicken broth, of which
Buddha-jumping-over-the-wall is the most
famous; the name implies the dish is so
delicious that even the Buddha would jump over
a wall to have a taste once he
smelled it. A
mixture of seafood, chicken, duck, and pork is put
into a rice-wine jar
and simmered over a low
fire. Sea mussel quick-boiled in chicken soup is
another
Fujian delicacy
闽菜是福建菜的简称,它是中国烹饪主要
菜系之一,在中国烹饪文化宝库中占有
重要一席。福建的经济文化是南宋以后逐渐发展起来的,清中叶后
闽菜逐渐为世
人所知。
闽菜由福州、闽南、闽西三路菜组成。福州菜路流行于闽东
、闽中、闽北地区;
闽南菜则广传于厦门、泉州、漳州、闽南金三角;闽西菜则盛行于闽西客家地区,<
br>极富乡土气息。闽菜的风格特色是:淡雅、鲜嫩、和醇、隽永。口味偏重甜、酸
和清淡,常用红糟
调味。
闽菜的特点主要表现在四个方面:
一、烹饪原料以海鲜和山珍为主
由于福建的地理形势倚山傍海,北部多山,南部面
海,苍茫的山区,盛产菇、笋、
银耳、莲子和石鳞、河鳗、甲鱼等山珍野味;漫长的浅海滩涂,鱼、虾、
蚌、鲟
等海鲜佳品常年不绝。平原丘陵地带则稻米、庶糖、蔬菜、水果誉满中外。山海
赐给的神
品,给闽菜提供了丰富的原料资源,也造就了几代名厨和广大从事烹饪
的劳动者,他们以擅长制作海鲜原
料,并蒸、氽、炒、煨、爆、炸、•康确矫娑
谰咛厣!
二、刀工巧妙,一切服从于味
闽菜注重刀工,有“片薄如纸,切丝如发,剞花加荔
”之美称。而且一切刀工均围
绕着“味”下功夫,使原料通过刀工的技法,更体现出原料的本味和质地。
它反对
华而不实,矫揉造作,提倡原料的自然美并达到滋味沁深融透,成型自然大方、
火候表里
如一的效果。

三、汤菜考究,变化无穷
闽菜重视汤菜,与多烹制海鲜和传统食俗有关。闽厨长期以来把烹饪和确保原料
质鲜、味纯、滋
补联系起来,从长期积累的经验认为,最能保持原料本质和原味
的当属汤菜,故汤菜多而考究。有的白如
奶汁,甜润爽口;有的汤清如水,色鲜
味美;有的金黄澄透,馥郁芳香;有的汤稠色酽,味厚香浓。美食
中国
四、烹调细腻,特别注意调味
闽菜的烹调细腻表现在选料精细、
泡发恰当、调味精确、制汤考究、火候适当等
方面。特别注意调味则表现在力求保持原汁原味上。善用糖
,以甜去腥膻;巧用
醋,因酸能爽口,味清淡则可保持原味。因而有甜而不腻,酸而不淡而不薄的盛名。
著名的菜肴有:佛跳墙、醉糟鸡、酸辣烂鱿鱼、烧片糟鸡、太极明虾、清蒸加力
鱼、荔枝鱼肉。
佛跳墙起源于清朝末年,为福州“聚春园”名师郑春发所创制,至今已有多年的历
史
。它采用多种精料精心煨制而成,程序复杂,各料互为渗透,味中有味,质地
软嫩脆润、浓郁荤香,营养
丰富,是福州传统名菜之首。
