Abstract:Translation is a communicative activity across languages and cultures, which involves not only the transformation of linguistic signs, but also the cultural exchanges and adaptations. As one of the intercultural communications, the C-E translation of Chinese cuisine names is to transmit Chinese cuisine culture to the world along with the clear rendering of the basic meaning of Chinese cuisine name. With the fast development of global economy, it increasingly gets the attention from scholars at home and abroad in recent years.
