ON ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF CHINESE DISH NAMES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SKOPOS THEORY
Abstract and Key Words
Abstract: In the process of globalization, the cultures of different countries are intermingling with each other. Chinese cuisine, as the treasure of Chinese culture, is also going global. Thus, the bridge of culture communication, dish name translation, is extremely important. Guided by the Skopos Theory, the author tries to study the features of Chinese dish names and make analysis of them. At the same time, the author analyzes some translation errors and illustrates them with a variety of examples. Finally, based on the different functions the translator emphasizes, the author puts forward two translation strategies: literal translation and free translation from the perspective of Skopos Theory. As a result, the Skopos Theory is made full use of in the translation of dish names.
Key words: Chinese dish names ; Skopos Theory; translation strategies
