简单说一下中餐菜单翻译的基本原则
   中餐的菜名多有典故或使用了许多与强调色香味有关的形容词，而不想英文那样做法材料在菜名中直接体现，所以在翻译成英文的时候就有很多狗屁不通的状况发生，比如，Bean curd made by a pock -marked woman，Husband and wife＇s lungslice...
   老外来中国，除了Beijing Roasted Duck必吃，也很喜欢点一些味儿重的菜，比如，宫保鸡丁，麻婆豆腐，鱼香肉丝，回锅肉，红烧狮子头...现在奥运双语菜单已经出台，这些菜也都有了官方译名，宫保鸡丁干脆就直接用了kung pao chicken，在说明材料的前提下，还强调了菜名背后的故事。
    一般来说，菜单的翻译是 做法+材料形状+连词+辅料

做法	材料	形状	连接	辅料
Salted 盐腌	pork 猪肉	slices 片		Chilli 红辣椒
smoked 熏	beef 牛肉	chop 排骨		Black Fungus 黑木耳

Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly
The depth of life will dim my [w][诱惑][/w]temptation to live for you
If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
'cause it's all about love and I know better
How life is a waving feather

So I put my arms around you around you
And I know that I'll be leaving soon
My eyes are on you they're on you
And you see that I can't stop shaking

No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists

So I just put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
my arms around you they're around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
they're on you

思绪 随光阴而飞
生命之重 模糊了为你而活的诱惑
如果我注定了孤独
那么
静寂会轻摇我的眼泪

一切无非是爱
而我知道
生命
轻如羽毛 翩然而飞

所以
当我拥抱你
紧抱
我的眼睛
凝视着你 一刻不离
而你看到
不住颤抖的我
我不会放弃
只会 低头避开你的眼神
因为
我的感觉是如此温暖
很怕 即使是自己的呼吸
也会弄破这个清澈的泡影
如果还是要挣扎
不如留在梦中

所以
当我拥抱你
紧抱
我的眼睛
凝视着你
希望
你不会伤害我

我在房间里
翩然起舞
仿佛 在静谧的林中 和你
还有音乐
只有音乐
提醒着我时间的存在
时间的存在
