　　1.句话的汉语由两个分句组成，句子较长，在译成英文时，可把它拆分成两句。“也指发源于中国的烹饪方式”可单独译成一句also refers to cooking styles originating from China，这样可以更好的体现两句的并列关系。

　　2.第二句话由三个分句组成。翻译时将“中国菜流派众多”译为主句，“历史悠久”用with a history of...来表达，“主要代表菜系有…”则用非限制性定语从句表示。这样可以使译文结构紧凑，句式多样。

　　3.第三句中的“风格各异”可以用be distinctive from表达，比用have different styles更地道。

　　4.在“中国菜强调色、香、味俱佳”中，“色、香、味俱佳”的英文翻译并没有逐字的对应，因而增译了combination，把汉语中暗含的意思完整地表达出来。
