淺析籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)的翻譯

Ⅰ淺析籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)的翻譯摘要作為國(guó)際體育交流的一種工具，英語(yǔ)在體育領(lǐng)域中的應(yīng)用越來(lái)越廣泛，籃球項(xiàng)目自發(fā)明以來(lái)經(jīng)歷了上百年歷史的發(fā)展,因其極強(qiáng)的觀賞性和競(jìng)技性,目前在世界范圍內(nèi)已成為最受歡迎的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目之一,同時(shí)在我國(guó)所有運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目當(dāng)中擁有最龐大的群眾基礎(chǔ)。但大量的籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)英文讓不懂英語(yǔ)的愛(ài)好者十分頭疼，本文從籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)的翻譯背景、翻譯策略和特點(diǎn)等方面入手，對(duì)籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)翻譯進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)單的分析，證明了好的籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)英語(yǔ)翻譯的重要性?；@球術(shù)語(yǔ)翻譯不僅能影響球員、教練和俱樂(lè)部，甚至能影響籃球比賽的結(jié)果。國(guó)內(nèi)需要培養(yǎng)這方面的人才來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)我國(guó)籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)國(guó)際化的形式。關(guān)鍵詞：籃球術(shù)語(yǔ)；英語(yǔ)翻譯；翻譯策略；特點(diǎn)ⅡABSTRACTAsatoolofinternationalsportscommunication,Englishismoreandmorewidelyusedinthefieldofsports.Basketballhasexperiencedhundredsofyearsofhistorysinceitsinvention,andhasnowbecomeoneofthemostpopularsportsintheworldbecauseofitsstrongornamentalandcompetitivenature,andalsohasthelargestmassbaseamongallsportsinChina.However,alargenumberofbasketballtermsinEnglishareabigheadacheforthosewhodonotknowEnglish.Thispaperbrieflyanalyzesthetranslationofbasketballtermsintermsoftheirtranslationbackground,translationstrategiesandcharacteristics,andprovestheimportanceofagoodEnglishtranslationofbasketballterms.Basketballtermtranslationcanaffectnotonlyplayers,coachesandclubs,butalsotheoutcomeofbasketballgames.ChinaneedstocultivatetalentsinthisfieldtodealwiththeinternationalizationofbasketballsportsinChina.Keywords：Basketballterminology;Englishtranslation;translationstrategy;characteristicsⅢTableofContentsChapterOneIntroduction
