中式英文菜单设计

同感！要准确翻译出来的确不容易，但问题是即使翻译出正式的名字，老外也不一定懂。比如：蔬菜名（我几乎说不上来几个），但在中国吃得到的蔬菜在国外不一定有，他们也不知道这些名字，听起来就会像一些专业术语。其实告诉他们就是本地的蔬菜就可以了，反过来可以问他们那里是否有类似的蔬菜，顺便学一下怎么说。肉类，这个不用我说，只要不跟阿拉伯人提pork，不跟印度人提beef，更不要告诉所有西方老外他们吃了dog meat，frog等等就可以了。水产品，老外常吃海鱼，根本不知道怎么吃带小刺的河鱼，可以说是river fish，fish living in the fresh water。其它的shrimp等他们都认识了。我知道你想知道的是菜肴的名称，而不仅仅是什么原料。其实这东西太高深了，他们根本不会懂，所以根本不需要找正式的名称，告诉他们主要的烹饪方式就足够了：fried（炒的，炸的），stewed（煮的，炖的，烧的），baked（烤的），salted（腌的）……别忘了再加上口味：spicy/hot，sweet，salty，sour，bitter ……

呵呵，我也遇到过类似的情况，告诉你哦：）~~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 beancurd西红柿炒蛋Scrambled egg with to tomato2�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 slices2�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 ginger3�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 vegetables2�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 chicken3�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 dumpling2�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 peanuts2.Gongbao chicken cubes3.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。
