Translation of Chinese Food Names: A Perspective of Cultural Differences
 
ABSTRACT

The thesis deals with the translation of Chinese food names from the perspective of cultural differences. At first, the paper expounds the differences between the Chinese and English culture from such aspects as religion, customs and semantic association patterns. It then proceeds to dig into their cultural connotations, and after offering a functional analysis of food names, it points out that their primary function lies in promoting the sales of themselves, and that translation of food names should be decided by their function. As a translator, we should have a good awareness of the cultural differences, and make a proper and flexible use of such translation strategies as domestication and foreignization, and such translation techniques as literal translation, transliteration, amplification and free translation.

Key words: Chinese food name, cultural difference, strategies, techniques
