俗話說(shuō)的好“民以食為天”，在我們跟國(guó)際友人交往的時(shí)候，在多數(shù)情況下我們會(huì)各自介紹自己的美食文化。今天在這里我就來(lái)給大家介紹一下如何用英語(yǔ)來(lái)介紹我們中華美食文化，有需要的朋友可以收藏起來(lái)。

一、地方菜系

It's very nice of you to invite me.

你真是太好了，請(qǐng)我來(lái)做客。

I'm very glad you could come, Mr. Liu. Will you take a seat at the head of the table? It's an informal dinner, please don't stand on ceremony... Mr. Liu, would you like to have some chicken?

劉先生，您能來(lái)我很高興，請(qǐng)上坐。這是一次家常便飯，請(qǐng)大家別客氣。劉先生，要吃點(diǎn)雞肉嗎?

Thank you. This is my first time to come to a Chinese restaurant. Could you tell me the different features of Chinese food?

讞謝，這是我第一次來(lái)中餐館，請(qǐng)給我講講中國(guó)菜的不同特色好嗎?

Generally speaking, Cantonese food is a bit light; Shanghai food is rather oily; and Hunan dishes are very spicy, having a strong and hot taste.

一般來(lái)講，廣東菜清淡一些;上海菜比較油膩：湖南菜香味濃，辣味很重。
