The names for Chinese dishes are strongly characterized with profound Chinese food culture,which is quite difficult to translate. Eco-translatology is of great help for us to solve the problem. Based on some specific examples,the author tries to analyze the characteristics and cultural connotations of Chinese dishes and their translation in three dimensions, namely linguistic dimension,cultural dimension,and communicative dimension,and discusses how to use alternately the means of adaptation and selection to translate,aiming at promoting better communication between the Chinese and Western food culture,and providing a new perspective and useful reference for the translation of Chinese dishes.
