夫妻肺片翻译（被评为美国年度开胃菜）

双旦假期马上就要来了，最大的乐趣当然是吃吃吃啦。

说到吃，必须介绍一道小版最爱的开胃菜：夫妻肺片。

这道成都传统名菜，通常是用牛头皮、牛心、牛舌、牛肚、牛肉等卤制后切片，再浇上特制红油做成的，口感爽脆，鲜香麻辣，简直让人欲罢不能。

有趣的是，“夫妻肺片”还曾经被美国《GQ》杂志评选为“年度开胃菜”（Appetizer of the Year），在国外迎来了最高光时刻。

而在这个新闻中，小版还发现“夫妻肺片”居然有一个绝妙且脑洞大开英文名——Mr. And Mrs.Smith（史密斯夫妇），与安吉丽娜·朱莉与布拉德·皮特主演的好莱坞电影同名。

乍一看“夫妻肺片”被翻译成“史密斯夫妇”有点怪怪的，但如果了解“夫妻肺片”名字由来的故事，就会觉得这个译名还是挺有味道的。

话说清朝末年，在成都的街头巷尾，郭朝华和妻子每天都会提篮叫卖独创的凉拌牛肉片，由于他们所选用牛肉铺的边角料做食材，价格便宜、味道好，一直很受欢迎，久而久之人们就把这种凉拌牛肉片称为“夫妻肺片”。

这种夫妻搭档的生意，是不是和“史密斯夫妇”似乎有那么点类似呢？

借家喻户晓的电影名翻译中文菜品，容易让外国人心领神会，至少比“Husband and wife's lung slice （丈夫和妻子的肺片）这种血腥又让老外摸不着头脑的传统直译要来得好吧

其实，我国博大精深的八大菜系已征服了外国食友的胃，令他们欲罢不能，但是中国菜品的翻译却一直是个难题。

不过，北京市市外办和市民讲外语办公室在2012年联合出版了《美食译苑：中文菜单英文译法》（文末有PDF版免费领取方法），为2158道中餐饭菜“正名”。
