Abstract Huaiyang cuisine is one of the four major Chinese cuisines. However, without official translation, Huaiyang cuisine can not gain greater reputation. This paper discusses translation strategies of Huaiyang cuisine, which is based on Newmark’s communicative translation theory. The author believes that the translation of cuisines has three functions, which are information transmission, cultural exchanges and aesthetic value, thus communicative translation theory has a strong applicability and guiding significance to Huaiyang cuisine. By the analysis of the translation of Huaiyang cuisine in three principles, that are information transmission principle, aesthetic principle, and emotional transmission principle, this paper concludes that the translator’ strategy and the translation method applied in translating must be accorded with communicative intention and the realization of the main communicative function of the source text.

摘要淮扬菜是中国四大名菜之一，但还没有官方的菜名翻译。正确的翻译淮扬菜有助于淮扬菜的传播。本文以纽马克的交际翻译理论为基础，探讨淮扬菜菜名的翻译策略。本文作者认为，菜名翻译具有信息传递,文化交流和审美价值三大功能，因此交际翻译理论对淮扬菜菜名的翻译具有很强的适用性和指导意义。本文将具体从交际翻译理论的信息传递原则、审美原则和情感转换原则阐述对淮扬菜名的翻译研究，认为译者翻译策略的制定和翻译方法的采纳都必需围绕语篇的交际意图，以是否有助于原文语篇的主要交际功能的实现为准绳。

1. Introduction
In the translation field, there are a variety of translation methods, translation strategies and translation theories, such as functional teleology of Royce, Vermeer and Nordisk, communicative translation and semantic translation theory of Newmark, form of correspondence and dynamic equivalence of Nida, explicit translation and implicit translation of House, etc. These theories or strategies have not only made great contribution to translation, but also a far-reaching influence on it. Choosing what kind of translation theory has a close relationship with the functional type of the source language. Menu has common characteristics with practical writing, “concise, accessible, clear, flexible and relatively fixed format”, etc. Because the name of the menu is different from general written language; its translation also requires smoothness on the basis of the original art. So great importance should be attached to the flexibility and persity of methods in the process of translation. Newmark’s communicative translation theory to the translation of Huaiyang cuisine has a strong applicability and guiding value.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Previous Studies on Communicative Translation Theory
The famous English Translation theorist Peter Newmark, Buhler and Jacobson put forward three functions of language. There are expressive function, sorts of function, and vocative function. In Approaches to Translation, the concepts of semantic Translation and communicative Translation is firstly proposed. Newmark points out that communicative translation attempts to make a reflection of the readers that the translation and the original language are similar as much as possible when they are reading, while semantic translation to the target language in semantic and syntactic structure allows, as accurately as possible, the context express the meaning of the original.
