Study of the Features of NBA English News and the Approaches to its Translation

1. Introduction

With the fast development of new media, NBA News has had a greater influence on Chinese people and domestic Sports News report. However, even though more and more research work has been made on Sports English News, little has been done on NBA English News.(Wang Yang 1) Recently, in order to create better conditions for people to enjoy the match, NBA News study causes attention of many researchers.

Even if shared some similarities with Sports English News, NBA English News has its uniqueness in the usage of words. Scholars conclude that NBA News not only has its particularity in words usage but also in language style. (Wang Yang 1) NBA is one of the four major professional sports leagues in USA, and most of its players are African Americans, who have brought original Hip-hop culture into the game. In the aspect of idiom use, there are some special ways of using it, which features in NBA customs. In the aspect of grammar, it is more colloquial. (Zhang Guizhao 1)Besides, the language style of NBA News increases the difficulty of translation. Meanwhile, it also provides the space for us to go on study. When translating NBA English News, we should take the above elements into careful consideration. Moreover, in the translation of NBA English news, not only should we discuss its specialized words, but also its original cultural elements and international influence. So certain techniques are required in translating.

Nowadays, there are more and more studies on translating NBA English News, most of which are on its language style and words, but little on its cultural features and ways of translating. The translation of NBA News is restrained not only by many terminologies and special nouns, but by many cultural factors. After a long-time study on this subject and collecting related information, the writer of this thesis has combined the cultural characteristics of NBA English news with its translating methods, so as to demonstrate general ways of translating NBA English news. (Wang Yang 3) With the study of this subject, it is hoped that English learners and basketball fans could appreciate the game and American culture better, and the translators could translate NBA English News properly and exactly so as to promote cross-cultural communication between China and the countries all over the world.
