中国菜举世闻名，而菜名更是诙谐有趣，妙趣横生，充满中国人的智慧。很多菜名用字典雅瑰丽，充满吉祥喜庆之气，诸如把豆苗(bean eedling)比作“龙须”，鸡蛋美名“芙蓉(Confederate roe)”或“凤凰”，鸡爪称“凤爪”，豆腐(tofu)叫成“白玉”，等。不少菜名豪华气派，美不可言，有种汤叫“珍珠玛瑙(agate)翡翠汤”，只是豆腐、番茄加青菜。一些含有祝贺或象征吉祥的菜名，如竹笋炒排骨是 “步步高升”。有些菜名采用的是成语，萝卜丝上放根红辣椒表示“踏雪寻梅”。参考译文：Chinee dihe are world-famou,and the dih name are humorou, intereting and full of wit,fully embodying the widom of Chinee people.Many dihe are named with elegant and magnificent character and are full of aupiciou and fetive atmophere.For example,the bean eedling i called “dragon beard”，egg i called “Confederate roe” or “phoenix”，chicken claw i called “phoenix talon”，tofu i called“white jade” and o on.Many dih name are in luxuriou tyle and their beauty i beyond word.For example，there i a oup called “oup of pearl,agate and jade”，but it ingredient are only tofu, tomatoe and vegetable.Some dih name expre congratulation or ymbolize aupicioune,uch a pork rib fried with bamboo hoot i called “higher and higher' Some dih name are idiom，uch a turnip trip with a red pepper i called “looking for plum flower while treading on the now”.[由Www.haozuowen.com整理]
