【翻译公司】这些“中国菜”你听说过吗？

在国外吃中国菜，尤其是在更早以前，很容易碰到这么几种情况。本次西迪斯翻译公司小编进行整理分享。

General Tso's Chicken 左宗棠将军鸡
Most people who grow up in China's mainland have never heard of this dish that was created by a Taiwan chef in the 50s, and in fact it has not the slightest bit of relevance to Zuo Zongtang (the General Tso for which the dish is named).
大多数在中国大陆长大的人从来没听说过这道由50年代一位中国台湾厨师做的菜，事实上它与左宗棠（这道菜名字的来源）一点关系都没有。

What I can assure you is that natives in Hunan, General Tso's hometown, have never heard of this so-called Hunan dish.
我敢跟你打包票左宗棠故乡湖南的人民从来没听过这道所谓的湖南菜。

Chop Suey"杂碎"
When Chinese people talk about "chop suey" they mean animal organs chopped up together and eaten, but westerners don't eat organs and offal, so the American "chop suey" refers to a mismatched mess of foodstuffs such as cabbage, pork strips, bean sprouts, celery, green pepper, onion all fried up together.
中国人所说的“杂碎”是指动物器官一起切碎食用，而西方人不吃器官和内脏，所以美国人所说的“杂碎”是指卷心菜、猪肉条、豆芽、芹菜、青椒、洋葱等不相配的一堆食物一起炒成的。

Spring Rolls春卷
Spring rolls are probably one of the most popular appetizers found in foreign Chinese restaurants. On the surface, a crispy, golden shell filled mainly with bean sprouts and cabbage, but when it comes down to putting it in your mouth, you'll find that they are usually fried into oblivion and if you can manage to make it to the center of this cudgel-like snack you'll likely be left with a mouthful of oil. True spring rolls should have a very thin skin, abundant filling and just a little oil.
春卷可能是外国中餐馆最受欢迎的开胃菜之一。表面上看，春卷脆脆的、有金黄色的外壳，里面主要是豆芽和卷心菜，但当你把它放进嘴里时，你通常会发现，春卷炸过了头，要是你咬到这根短棒状的食物中间，你很可能会咬出一嘴油。正宗的春卷应该是薄皮少油，有丰富的馅料。

According to the report released by Meituan-Dianping, China's largest on-demand service platform, there are over 600,000 Chinese restaurants overseas. In 2017, at least 16 renowned Chinese catering brands, including Peking Duck brand DaDong and Qing Feng Steamed Dumpling Shop, tapped successfully into the foreign market.
据中国最大的外卖平台美团点评发布的报告显示，目前在海外有超过60万家中餐馆。2017年，北京烤鸭品牌大董、庆丰包子铺等至少16个中国知名餐饮品牌成功打入国外市场。

Staple of Chinese Street Food: BBQ Meat中国街头食物必点：烤肉
One of the meals you can find wandering the streets of China is kao rou (or barbecued meat). You can find this skewered meat in restaurants, as well as street vendor carts. They're known for being quite spicy and cooked over coals. Kao rou can consist of almost any kind of meat, including braised pork, chicken, beef, and even other internal organs!
你可以在中国的街道上找到一种食物——烤肉。你可以在餐馆里找到这种肉串，还有街头小贩的手推车上也有。它们以辛辣闻名，而且是用木炭烤的。烤肉几乎可以包含任何种类的肉，包括炖猪肉、鸡肉、牛肉，甚至内脏。

Cold Vegetable Dish凉菜
This dish, named liang cai, literally translates to "cold dish". So, it makes sense that it would be a hodge-podge of ingredients. It's usually an assortment of cold vegetables, such as cucumbers, green beans, and cabbage. But there is no fixed recipe for it. For flavor, the vegetables are usually topped with a sauce, as well as tofu and peanuts. If you're in the mood for something healthy, this is a great choice!
这道菜名为凉菜，字面意思是"cold dish"。所以，可以想见凉菜会包含各种各样的食材，通常是各种冷蔬菜，如黄瓜、青豆和卷心菜等，但也没有固定的配方。为了调味，蔬菜通常在上面加上酱汁，豆腐和花生。如果你想吃健康的食物，这是一个很好的选择！

Tofu Pudding豆花（豆腐脑）
Tofu, all by itself, is quite bland, tasteless, and requires spices to make it flavorful. However, tofu is a staple of Chinese cuisine and can even be found in their desserts! A popular dessert is tofu pudding, which consists of soft tofu covered in either sugar or a sweet ginger sauce. If you want your pudding to be a little more savory, you can top it off with soy sauce, chili, and peanuts.
豆腐本身淡而无味，需要调味料才能增味。不过，豆腐是中国菜的主角之一，甚至可以出现在甜点中！有一种很受欢迎的甜点是豆花，它是由软豆腐和糖或甜姜汁做成。如果你想让豆花更有味一点，你可以在上面加上酱油、辣椒和花生。

It's Not Quite Noodles: Mutton Stew这不是面：羊肉泡馍
This dish, from the city of Xi'an, is a traditional stew called pao mo. Although it's usually made with mutton, you can also use pork or beef. The interesting quality about this stew is that, instead of noodles, there are pieces of unleavened bread floating in the broth. On the side, you'll usually find pickled garlic and chili sauce to compliment the stew. It's a great dish if you want something a little heartier to keep you warm.
这道菜来自西安，是一道传统的炖菜，叫泡馍。虽然通常是用羊肉做的，但也可以用猪肉或牛肉。这道炖菜的有趣之处在于，肉汤里没有面条，而是漂浮着一些未发酵的面疙瘩。在它旁边，你通常会发现有腌蒜和辣椒酱可以作为泡馍的配菜。如果你想吃点热乎乎的东西来保暖的话，这是一道很好的菜。

The Most Versatile of Dishes: Baozi最万能的菜：包子
When it comes to choosing whether to have a meal or dessert... why not both? Baozi are traditional Chinese steamed buns that are known for being delightfully fluffy. The buns are usually filled with vegetables and meat, usually barbecue pork. However, if you're looking for something a little sweeter, baozi can be filled with red bean paste or custard. If you're ever feeling indecisive about what to eat, this meal is versatile and satisfying.

在选择是吃顿饭还是吃点甜食的时候……为什么，不可以两者都吃呢？包子是中国传统食物，有点像圆面包，十分蓬松。包子里通常有蔬菜和肉，一般是烤肉。不过，如果你想吃甜一点的，包子里可以是红豆沙或者流心奶黄。如果你对吃什么感到难以抉择，包子就很百搭而且令人满足。西迪斯翻译将不定期为美食爱好者提供更多资讯。西迪斯翻译擅长英文翻译、德语翻译、西班牙语翻译、越南语翻译、法语翻译。。。。。。。
