红楼梦饮食翻译研究
摘要19世纪早期的清朝嘉庆年间，民间流行着这样两句歌谣：“开谈不说红楼梦 读尽诗书也枉然”红楼梦以其丰富的思想和视角，囊括了中国艺术文化的各个方面。
从1830年到1986年,出现了9个红楼梦的英语版本。在1973到2000年间的红楼梦译本中，杨译本（由杨宪益和戴乃迭翻译)和霍译本(由大卫•霍克斯和约翰•明福特翻译)最为出色。红楼梦之中充分显示了中国饮食文化的独特魅力。本文从文化的角度对比分析了杨译本a dream of the story of Red Mansions和霍译本The Story of the Stone，讨论分析了中国独一无二的饮食文化及其翻译。
译者应该做一个真正意义上的文化人。红楼梦的饮食的名称具有很强的中国传统文化色彩。翻译这些饮食名称时,必须重视其中的文化元素。译者在保留中国文化内涵的同时,要兼顾英语的语言习惯，这的确是一大难题。
本文从文化的角度,比较和分析了红楼梦饮食的英文翻译名称在杨和霍的版本中的异同，并讨论了相关的翻译方法。
