随着我国日益走向国际化，餐饮业也面临着走向世界这个问题。

因此，作为餐饮业的从业人员，或多或少地懂一点有关餐饮方面的专业英语，是非常必要的。

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，让客人一目了然。

将以下几点"公式"(中英文对照)介绍如下，以供大家参考。
