Why Rice porridge preserved egg Sounds Wrong in English

[EN] Grammar breakdown: The phrase "Rice porridge preserved egg" is a noun stack without any articles, prepositions, or conjunctions. In standard English, a dish name requires structure: "Preserved Egg and Lean Meat Congee" uses "and" to connect ingredients, and "congee" (a specific term) instead of "rice porridge". The Chinglish version treats all three words as a flat list, similar to Chinese syntax where nouns can be juxtaposed (粥的配料 = rice porridge + preserved egg + lean meat). However, English demands explicit relationships: "rice porridge with preserved egg" or "preserved egg rice porridge" (though the latter is still awkward). The omission of "lean meat" is a calque of the Chinese habit of sometimes dropping less emphasized ingredients in shorthand, but in English it becomes a critical error. Also, "rice porridge" is redundant – "porridge" already implies cooked grain. This phrase exemplifies calque patterns where Chinese noun-noun compounding is directly mapped onto English, ignoring the need for prepositions like "with" or modifiers like "and". [中文] 语法分析："Rice porridge preserved egg" 是一个名词堆叠，没有任何冠词、介词或连词。在标准英语中，菜名需要结构："Preserved Egg and Lean Meat Congee" 使用 "and" 连接成分，并用 "congee"（特定术语）代替 "rice porridge"。中式英语版本将三个单词视为扁平列表，类似中文的并列名词结构（粥的配料 = 米饭+粥+皮蛋）。但英语要求明确关系："rice porridge with preserved egg" 或 "preserved egg rice porridge"（后者仍显别扭）。省略"瘦肉"是对中文习惯的直译——中文有时在简写中省略次要成分，但英文中这成为严重错误。此外，"rice porridge" 有冗余——"porridge" 已暗示煮熟的谷物。该短语体现了直译模式：将中文名词复合直接映射到英语，忽略了对介词（如 with）或连接词（如 and）的需求。
