Abstract
Food culture, as an important part of the social culture, is the most direct and the most obvious way to express the international communication. Chinese culinary culture is broad and profound and Huaiyang Cuisine is famous as one of its consummation.
Huaiyang Cuisine Translation is particularly important for the Huaiyang cultural diffusion. This thesis therefore formulates the “Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance” principles. Some examples will be illustrated to testify the applications of this principle in Huaiyang Cuisine translation. Also the author tries to propose some translation methods corresponding to different dishes. All in all, the author strives to make the translations reserve Huaiyang cultural connotations and its aesthetic style at the same time.
Keywords: Huaiyang Cuisine; “Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance” principles; translation methods
