中国酒文化的英文介绍:10种中国酒名
编者按:中国的酒文化有很多,名字也是各有特色的,怎么用英语来将中国的酒名呢?下面是小编推荐给大家的中国酒文化的英文介绍,供大家参考。
It is not hard for foreigners to buy alcohol in supermarkets just by looking at the the bottles as most of them are imported. But it is also interesting to know their names in Chinese.
Let's have a try
1. 威wēi士shì忌jì= whisky
Notes: This one is transliterated.
2. 白bái兰lán地dì= brandy
Notes: This one is also transliterated. And 白兰(báilán) also sounds like the name of a flower. When the first time hearing this name, you can imagine good smell. And you would be impressed by the sweet fruits smell of brandy. It’s a smart translation.
3. 伏fú特tè加jiā= vodka
Notes: This one is transliterated, but more. 伏特(fútè) also means “volt” in Chinese. Perhaps the translator wants to show us the strong feeling after drinking vodka.
4. 特tè其qí拉lā/龙lóng舌shé兰lán= tequila
Notes: 特其拉(tèqílā) is the transliteration of tequila (it’s also similar to the spelling of Pinyin, isn’t it?) And in early days this one is known as 龙舌兰(lóngshélán), which is the plant tequila made from.
5. 朗lǎng姆mǔ酒jiǔ= rum
Notes: Rum is also translated in to 兰姆酒(lánmǔjiǔ). And it’s transliterated.
6. 金jīn酒jiǔ/琴qín酒jiǔ/杜dù松sōng子zǐ酒jiǔ
Notes: Gin is also translated into 琴酒(qínjiǔ) or 杜松子酒(dùsōngzi jiǔ). 金酒(jīnjiǔ) or 琴酒(qínjiǔ) are similar to the pronunciation of “gin”. 杜松子 means juniper, so we can easily know what the alcohol is made from.
7. 味wèi美měi思sī= vermouth
Notes: The translation of vermouth is smart and cute. 味美思(wèiměisī) sounds like vermouth. 味(wèi) means taste or flavor. 美(měi) means beautiful or good. 思(sī) means to think or to miss. These 3 characters give people an impression that vermouth is tasty and unforgettable, people always want more after drinking.
8. 利lì口kǒu酒jiǔ= liqueur
Notes: This one is also smart. First, 利口(lìkǒu) sounds similar to “liqueur”. 利(lì) means be good for. 口(kǒu) means mouth. 利口(lìkǒu) makes people feel the liquid is smooth and enjoyable.
9. 葡pú萄táo酒jiǔ= wine
Notes: This one is easy to understand. 葡萄(pútáo) means grape. 酒(jiǔ) means alcohol. Literally, wines are made from grapes. And it’s also common to call red wine 红酒(hóngjiǔ), and white wine 白葡萄酒(bái pútáojiǔ).
10. 啤pí酒jiǔ= beer
Notes: Beer is definitely imported. But it’s so common that I almost ignored it. 啤(pí) comes from the pronunciation of “beer”. 酒(jiǔ) shows that it’s a kind of alcohol. Now it’s widely known as 啤酒(píjiǔ) in China.
