Abstract
With the continuous development of economic globalization and communication between China and other countries, there are more and more Chinese restaurants in western countries. The name of the dish is to show the information about the dish to people, and then increase customers’ appetite which can make customers consume. Chinese food is an integral part of traditional Chinese culture. Although Chinese delicacy is very unique, it can’t be as world-renowned as French food. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, one of which is the inaccuracy of translating dish names into foreign language. Therefore, it is important to make Chinese cuisine shine in cross-cultural communication. The paper includes four parts. Part One introduces the background and significance of the research. Part Two introduces the linguistic features and functions of Chinese dish names. Part Three introduces the strategies for the translation of Chinese dish names. Part Four is the conclusion. Based on the collected relevant data, the writer uses text study and case analysis method to analyze the translation strategies, which can make the translation of Chinese dishes more standardized and unified. At the same time, the English translation of Chinese dishes can help international friends deepen the understanding of Chinese traditional food culture and further spread the Chinese food culture.
Key words: Chinese delicacy; Chinese dish names; translation strategies
