俗话说的好“民以食为天”,在我们跟国际友人交往的时候,在多数情况下我们会各自介绍自己的美食文化。今天在这里我就来给大家介绍一下如何用英语来介绍我们中华美食文化,有需要的朋友可以收藏起来。

一、地方菜系

It's very nice of you to invite me.

你真是太好了,请我来做客。

I'm very glad you could come, Mr. Liu. Will you take a seat at the head of the table? It's an informal dinner, please don't stand on ceremony... Mr. Liu, would you like to have some chicken?

刘先生,您能来我很高兴,请上坐。这是一次家常便饭,请大家别客气。刘先生,要吃点鸡肉吗?

Thank you. This is my first time to come to a Chinese restaurant. Could you tell me the different features of Chinese food?

谳谢,这是我第一次来中餐馆,请给我讲讲中国菜的不同特色好吗?

Generally speaking, Cantonese food is a bit light; Shanghai food is rather oily; and Hunan dishes are very spicy, having a strong and hot taste.

一般来讲,广东菜清淡一些;上海菜比较油腻:湖南菜香味浓,辣味很重。

Chinese dishes are exquisitely prepared, delicious, and very palatable. They are very good in colour,flavour,and taste.
