Also the research on translation of names of local dishes in Zhejiang and Jiangsu is almost blank. After giving the related information of Chinese catering culture, the writer sums up the features and functions of Chinese dish names, and on the basis of that, analyses the translation principles and criteria, namely “faithfulness”, “equivalence”, “domesticating foreignizing translation” as the general principles for the English translation of Chinese dish names. In light of these general principles, the writer proposes four practical translation principles, including correct comprehension of the dish’s name, conveying of cultural elements, and transmittance of aesthetical value and adoption of common practice. Further by combining the characteristic of Zhejiang and Jiangsu dishes, the writer analyses specific examples and puts forward specific translation techniques like literal translation, literal translation plus explanation, free translation and other techniques. The writer points out that the translator should flexibly apply these techniques according to dish names’ cultural connotation.
