Abstract In recent years, with the development of globalization, communication between different countries has been increasing. Eating, a special necessary activity which is done by people all over the world, is an important way of cross-cultural communication. A delicious cuisine can let foreign guests intuitively know Chinese local conditions and their aesthetic interests. So translations of Chinese cuisines have become particularly important. Good translations can make foreign guests know what they will eat and better understand the Chinese diet culture and national culture. Good translations not only can improve China's national image, but also can advance the promotion of Chinese food and Chinese food culture in overseas which enhances the cross-cultural communication between countries.43528
