This paper aims to explore the motivation and translation techniques of Chinese English cooking vocabulary, in order to help English learners better understand and use these vocabulary. Firstly, it introduces the application of lexical motivation theory in English major learning. Secondly, it is pointed out that the motivation for Chinese and English cooking vocabulary mainly comes from their respective language and culture, historical traditions, as well as differences in ingredients and cooking methods. Then, the translation techniques for cooking vocabulary are introduced, including literal translation, free translation, additional translation, and cultural transformation techniques. Finally, mastering the corresponding translation skills can help the reader accurately express the meanings of these words, thereby promoting cultural exchange.  \nKeywords: Chinese and English Vocabulary; Cooking; Lexical motivation; Translation skills.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nCooking, as one of the most basic human daily activities, not only reflects our living needs, but also carries rich cultural significance. The richness and diversity of cooking vocabulary in both Chinese and English mirror the uniqueness of their respective cultures. This paper aims to explore the motivation and translation techniques of Chinese English cooking vocabulary, in order to help English learners better understand and use these vocabulary.  \n2. LEXICAL MOTIVATION THEORY  \nVocabulary is the foundation of language and an important component of language learning. Understanding the motivation of vocabulary can help English learners better grasp vocabulary and enhance their language proficiency.  \n2.1 The Definition and Types of Lexical Motivation  \nLexical motivation refers to the reasons for the formation of words, the evolution of word meanings, or the understanding of relationships between words. In English, lexical motivation can be divided into semantic motivation and phonetic motivation (Li Erzhan, 2020) [1] . Semantic motivation refers to the meaning inherent in the origin of certain words, such as those derived from myths, legends, or historical events [3] . And phonetic motivation refers to the inherent regularity in the pronunciation of certain words, such as compound words and derived words.  \n2.2 The Application of Lexical Motivation Theory in English Major Learning  \nThe lexical motivation theory in English major learning is used as follows:  \n1) Enhancing vocabulary memory: Understanding the origin and evolution of vocabulary can help enhance learners’ memory effectiveness. By understanding the story or historical background behind words, learners can remember them more deeply.  \n2) Improving reading comprehension: Understanding the reasoning behind words during the reading process helps to better understand the author's intention and the topic of the article.  \n3) Promoting writing expression: Understanding the reasoning behind vocabulary can help learners choose more appropriate words, and improve the accuracy and richness of language expression.  \n4) Expanding cultural knowledge: Many English vocabulary words are associated with specific cultural  \nbackgrounds (Wang Pingping, 2017) [2] . Understanding the reasoning behind vocabulary can expand learners'cultural knowledge and enhance their cross-cultural communication skills.  \nThe theory of lexical motivation has important application value in English learning. By understanding the sources, semantic evolution, and phonetic patterns of vocabulary, learners can gain a deeper understanding of words and enhance their language proficiency.
