在中国，一桌标准宴席包括四至八个事先制作好的冷盘，八道现做的热炒、两道观赏大菜（如全鱼、乳猪、全鸡等），此外还有汤、米饭和点心。
In China, a standard banquet will consist of four to eight prepared cold dishes, eight hot dishes served one at a time, two whole-size showpiece dishes (such as a whole fish, a whole suckling pig or a whole chicken), in addition to soups, steamed rice and pastries.
晚宴结束前还有一道水果。

Overseas visitors should remember that it is often unnecessary to eat more than a single mouthful of a dish at a Chinese banquet.

炒米fried rice 老火汤 Slow-cooked soup
拌豆腐丝 Shredded Tofu with Sauce
酱牛肉Beef Seasoned with Soy Sauce
苦瓜 bitter melon 干杯 bottoms up
五香spiced 糖醋 sweet and sour

Eg2:汉译英
海鲜
烹调新鲜的活海鲜是粤菜的特长，许多餐馆都有储存新鲜海鲜的水箱。新鲜的海鲜无气味的，所以最好的烹调方法是清蒸。以蒸鱼为例，只需加少量酱油、姜和葱。多数餐馆都会很喜欢用大蒜和香料去摆脱他们陈旧的海鲜存货。所以说吃广东菜有一个简单法则：香料和食物的新鲜程度成反比。
Seafood
Fresh live seafood is a specialty in Cantonese cuisine. Many restaurants maintain live seafood tanks. The freshest seafood is odorless and it is best cooked by steaming. For instance, only a small amount of soy sauce, ginger, and spring onion is added to steamed fish. However, most restaurants would gladly get rid of their older seafood inventory by offering dishes loaded with garlic and spices. As a rule of thumb in Cantonese dining, the spiciness of a dish is usually inversely proportional to the freshness of the ingredients.
