餐饮专业翻译中餐英文菜单

餐饮专业翻译中餐英文菜单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chickencubeswithalmond牛肉豆腐beefwithbeancurd西红柿炒蛋Scrambledeggwithtotomato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duckwebswithmustardsauce葱油鸡chickeninScallionoil米酒鱼卷fishrollswithricewine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-friedporkfillet烤乳猪roastsucklingpig炒鳝片Stir-friedeelslices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braisedchickenfilletwithtenderginger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braisedbeefwithbrownsauce鱼香肉丝friedshreddedporkwithSweetandsoursauce清炖猪蹄stewedpighoofincleansoup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crispchickenwithsesame陈皮兔丁dicedrabbitwithorangepeel时蔬鸡片Slicedchickenwithseasonalvegetables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crispfriedspareribs水煮嫩鱼tenderstewedfish香煎鸡块fragrantfriedchicken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slicedfishwithtomatosauce椒麻鸡块cutletschickenwithhotpepper黄酒脆皮虾仁crispshrimpswithricewinesauce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MaPobeancurd四川水饺Sichuanboileddumpling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DongPostewedporkjoint北京烤鸭RoastBeijingDuck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.sauteedchickencubeswithpeanuts2.Gongbaochickencubes3.dicedchickenwithchilliandpeanuts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中英文菜谱肉类Meat白切肉boiledporksliced白扣羊肉boiledmutton爆牛肚friedtrips扁豆肉丝shreddedporkandfrenchbeans冰糖肘子porkjiontstewedwithrocksugar菠萝香酥肉sweet-and-sourporkwithpineapple叉烧肉bbqpork(cantonesetyle)/grilledpork炒腊肉stir-friedsmokedpork炒木须肉friedshredsofpork,fungusandeggs,meatwithomeletandfungus炒里脊丝sauteporkfilletshreds炒肉片friedporksliced炒肉丁friedmeatcubes炒肉丝friedshreddedpork炒猪肝friedporkliver炒肚尖friedtipofpig’stripes炒羊肚friedlambtripes豉汁牛肉friedbeefwithsoybeansauce葱爆肉丁slicedporkwithscallion葱爆肉粉丝porksliceswithvermicelli葱爆羊肉friedmuttonslicewithgreenscallion葱头牛肉丝shreddedbeefwithonion脆皮三丝卷crisprollsofpork,sea-cucumberandbambooshoots冬笋炒肉丝asuteshreddedporkwithbambooshoots冬菇猪蹄pig’strotterswithmushrooms冬菜扣肉steamedspicycabbageabdpork豆瓣牛肉beefinchillibeansauce炖猪蹄stewedpig’strotters粉蒸排骨steamedspareribswithriceflower咖哩牛肉friedcurrybeef干煸牛肉丝sauteedbeefshredswithchilli宫爆腰花stir-friedkidneywithchilliandpeanuts古老肉sweet-and-sourpork蚝油牛肉oystersaucebeef红烧肉stewedporkwithbrownsauce红烧狮子头stewedmeatballswithbrownsauce红烧排骨spareribswithbrownsauce红烧肘子porklegbraisedinbrownsauce红烧蹄筋braisedtendonwithbrownsauce红烧牛肉beefwithbrownsauce红烧羊肉muttonbraisedinbrownsauce红油肚丝shreddedtripewithchillisauce滑肉片slicedprokwithcreamsauce滑溜里脊sautefilletwiththickgravy花椒牛肉cayennebeef黄瓜肉丁dicedporkwithcucumber回锅肉stir-friedboiledporkslicesinhotsauce.twice-cookedporkslices回锅辣白肉whitemeatinhotsauce家乡熏蹄home-madepig’strotters酱肉braisedporkweasonedwithsoysauce酱牛肉spicedbeef酱爆肉friedslicedporkwithsoysauce酱爆肉丁frieddicedporkinsoysauce酱爆肉丝shreddedporkwithsoysauce酱猪肘spicedpig’sleg酱猪肚spicedpig’stripe椒酱肉mixedmeatwithchilli韭黄肉丝shreddedporkwithchives烤乳猪roastedsuckingpig烤猪肉roastpork烤牛肉roastbeef扣肉braisedmeat辣子肉丁dicedprokwithgreenpepper栗子红烧肉braisedporkwithchestnuts蚂蚁上树vermicelliwithspicymincedpork梅干菜扣肉steamedporkwithpreservedvegetables焖牛肉potroastbeef米粉蒸肉steamedporkwithficeflower蜜汁火腿steamedhamwithhoneysauce扒白条braisedporkslices排肉片tewedporkstrip肉片meatslice肉丝shreddedmeat肉末mincedmeat肉丁dicedmeat肉馅meatfilling清炸猪里脊dry-friedporkfillet青椒肉丝shreddedporkwithgreenpepper青椒牛肉friedbeefwithgreenpepper清蒸猪脑whitesteamedpig’sbrain清蒸羊肉steamedmutton清炖牛尾steamedoxtailinclearsoup软炸里脊soft-friedfillet砂锅狮子头meatballsinearthen-pot砂锅丸子meatballsencasserole生汆牛肉片poachedbeeffillet时蔬炒牛肉sauteedslicedbeefwithseasonalgreens涮羊肉instant-boiledmuttonMongolianhotpot手抓羊肉boiledmutton双冬牛肉beefwithmushroomandbamboshoots水晶蹄膀shreddedporkknuckleinjelly蒜泥白肉shreddedporkwithgarlicsauce蒜蓉牛柳条filletofbeefwithgarlicsauce坛子肉dicedporkinpot糖醋里脊porkfriedwithsugarandvinegardressing,porkfilletwithsweetandsoursauce糖醋排骨sweet-and-sourspareribs豌豆肉丁dicedporkwithgreenpies雪菜肉丝shreddedporkwithsaltedpotherbmustard盐煎肉friedporkwithsaltedpepper盐水羊肉saltedmutton羊肉串lambshashlik腰果肉丁dicedporkwithcashewnuts银芽炒牛肉sauteedbeefandsproutsinsataysauce鱼香肉丝shreddedporkwithgarlicsauce炸丸子deep-friedmeatballs炸肉茄夹friedeggplantwithmeatstuffing糟白肉coldporkslicesmariantedinwineessence芝麻羊肉friedmuttonwithsesameseeds走油肉friedboiledpork1.各式刺身拼SashimiPlatter2.锅贴PotSticker3.辣汁脆炸鸡腿FriedChickenLegs(SpicyHot)4.鸡沙律ChickenSalad5.酥炸大虾FriedPrawns6.酥炸生豪FriedOysters7.酥炸鲜鱿FriedSquid8.海蜇SmokedJellyFish9.五香牛展SpecialBeef10.白云凤爪ChickenLeg11.琥珀合桃HouseSpecialHoneyWalnuts12.脆皮春卷SpringRolls13.蜜汁叉烧B.B.Q.Pork汤羹类Soup1.花胶鲍鱼火鸭丝羹CongeePikeMawWithRoastDuck2.红烧鸡丝翅ChickenShark’sFinSoup3.竹笙烩生翅BambooSharkFinSoup4.粟米瑶柱羹CornwithDryScallopsSoup5.竹笙海皇羹BambooSeafoodSoup6.鸡蓉粟米羹Corn&Chi
