Why Shredded pork green pepper Sounds Wrong in English

[EN] Grammar breakdown: The phrase violates English syntax by omitting the preposition "with" (or "and") between the two nouns, creating a compound noun that implies the pork is modifying the green pepper (i.e., "shredded pork [type of] green pepper") instead of a dish that combines them. This is a calque (loan translation) from Chinese, where 青椒肉丝 uses a coordinate structure without any connective. The word order also follows Chinese (adjective-modifier first), but English would typically place "green peppers" after the preposition. Additionally, "shredded" is correct for 丝 (shredded), but using it as a standalone modifier before "pork" is fine; the problem is the missing head noun for "green pepper" – it should be "peppers" (plural) in English. The tense is absent, as it's a noun phrase; the error is purely syntactic. [中文] 语法分析：这个短语违反了英语句法，因为它省略了连接两个名词的介词"with"（或"and"），形成了一个复合名词，暗示“猪肉”在修饰“青椒”（如“切碎的猪肉青椒”），而不是一道组合菜。这是对中文的直译（借译），中文“青椒肉丝”使用并列结构，无连接词。词序遵循中文（形容词修饰语在前），但英语通常把“green peppers”放在介词后。此外，“shredded”对于“丝”是正确的，但单独放在“pork”前没问题；问题在于“green pepper”缺少核心名词——英语中应为复数“peppers”。时态缺失，因为它是名词短语；错误纯粹是句法上的。
