14、iginal work. therefore, two essential elements should be involved in translation: accuracy and expressiveness. accuracy is the first indispensable quality of translation. a translator should prudently adhere to the authors idea, which means that the diction selected and syntactic structure must conv

15、ey the exact original thought. expressiveness is to make the translation readily understood. in other words, the translator 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 2must express the authors idea as clearly and as forcibly as translator can by the medium translator employs. accuracy is to make the translation definit

16、e and exact; while expressiveness is to make the translation vivid and attractive. there are many kinds of definitions of translation. with regards to translation, people can not simply define as a kind of language of another kind of form. with the development of translation theory and practice, tra

17、nslators are on the translation of the continuous generation of new knowledge, different translators, and translators in different periods of translation are also different interpretations of the concept, which explain the strengths and weaknesses, while others are more comprehensive, and some are m

18、ore one-sided. giving an accurate definition of translation is a thorny issue. at present, there are many kinds of definitions, and here are some typical definitions.zhangpeiji thinks that translation is an activity of language which uses one language to express contents of another language accurate

19、ly and completely. (zhangpeiji, 1921) caiyi thinks that translation is a language used to convey the information expressed in another language. (caiyi, 1927) fengqinghua believes that translation is a kind of activity in many languages, it is in a language form to another form of language where the

20、contents of the re-shown by the language of practical activities. translation is an art, is a re-creation of language arts. (fengqinghua, 1958) catford, a famous english translation theorist believes that the definition may be translated this way: put the chapter materials in a language in the chapt

21、er material in another language to be replaced.translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning, and secondly in terms of style. (eugene nida, 1914)2.2 the word feature of translation of basketballto

22、 use ordinary indefinite tense instead of simple past tense, in order to express more vividly and effectively. for example, “the final score is 98 to 82 in the whole game.”；“rockets beat lakers 55 to 50 at first half.”to use passive sentences express active significance. in general, when an appropri

23、ate action is issued, there is no need to be mentioned, or it is difficult to say people who want to emphasize the use of action of bearer. for example, “he got a nice ball.”to use the imperative sentences frequently and simple language is necessary. for 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 3example, “well saved”

24、 (漂亮的救球)， ”good shot”(好球). though these sentences have no subject, it expresses the meaning clearly, so there is no problem to understand. in general, the imperative sentences are so short that the recipient of language can not be understood the meaning clearly.2.3 the function of translation the co

25、mmunication is the main function of english translation of basketball。 firstly translator must understand coachs meaning, and then translators express the coachs meaning to players clearly. let the players understand the coachs requirements and execute tactical better on the pitch and play their com

26、petitive level effectively. on the other hand, good translation can make foreign and local players communicate with each other better, and make them cooperate better on the pitch. for example, translation can make foreign and local players know how to confirm their own positions and what they should

27、 do in the pitch.3. the characteristics of the words translating basketball games3.1 words of being livelyin the translation of basketball, the words used are lively, interesting and vivid. for example, pick, it usually means selecting one from many things, but in the english term of basketball, peo

28、ple translate cover. it means attacking players standing on one side or standing behind enemy defensive players to hinder defensive players. and press, people usually translate use hands or something push something down. in the english term of basketball, people translate tight defensive. it include

29、s “full-court press”, “half-court press”, “zone press”, “one-man press” and “two-man press”. there are many similar examples in the translation of english term of basketball, these words are vivid, and they make the translation of english term of basketball express more accurately. 3.2 rich in compo

30、und wordsthere are many compound words in english term of basketball. these compound words not only make the english term of basketball richer, but also break through the bound of basketball english. such as free-throw ，when the foul will be appeared in game, its free-throw time. and away game, a ba

31、sketball team goes to other city to play game, this situation we call away game. the common meaning of “free agent” is an agent of institution. 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 4in basketball english, it means a player who his contract expires, also means this professional player not bound by contract. there

32、are two kinds of free agent: unrestricted free agent and restricted free agent. “behind-the-back” ，in basketball game, this words have two meanings.one means when one player dribbles, he hides his ball behind his body, in order to avoid the defense; another means pass the ball behind his body, in or

33、der to the ball not to be stole. and in common translation, this word just means behind somebody. this kind of compound word not only so short that players can understand clearly in competitive game, it not only avoids long words wasting time, but also reduces translators pressure and makes players

34、can understand better. so the compound words are very important in basketball game.3.3 short terms of wordsthe words of basketball english is a kind of special vocabulary, many simple words have specific meaning in basketball english. such as “tie”, the common meaning of tie is knotting something, b

35、ut in english of basketball, tie means the games score is the same. words are very short in the translation of english term of basketball. the feature is that it is intend to use less word as far as possible to express complicated meaning in the translation of english term of basketball, and make pl

36、ayer understand couchs arrangement quickly in competitive game. for example, charging foul means when you are dribbling, you are hitting the opposite player at the same time. double team means that using two players to defense a player. in the game, coaches just use these words to express his meanin

37、g. “chest”, in common translation, it means a part above the waist and below the neck of our body. but in basketball translation, it means pass the ball before this part. this kind of short can save the time and let the information of coaches and players transfers quickly.4. the influence of the tra

38、nslation of english terms of basketball on basketball game.4.1 elements which influence the translation4.1.1 the interpreters language ability.to solve the problem of communication of between foreign players and local players in matches and trainings is the main purpose of club. the continuity of th

39、e basketball training 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 5process and specialization of technical requirements requires that translators should be quick, accurate and efficient in language transformation. especially in the game, the translation should be highlighted more effectively and accurately. then foreign

40、 players just can improve their execution and play their competition effectively. otherwise, it may cause the clubs unnecessary losses. so translators level is very important for club.most english translators have bilingual ability, but the masters degrees are relatively few and lack the ability of

41、good oral and written expression. some translators have never take part in basketball game before, and they are more likely to make mistakes when translators translate some technical terms of basketball game terms. and the pronunciation of translator is not standard and often make player can not und

42、erstand clearly.4.1.2 no standardized managementthe translation of english term of basketball is a new career. from the training, qualified certifications to obtain employment is the system of choosing an eligible translator of english terms of basketball. currently there arent any special training

43、institutions which can help choose the translation talents who accord with the requirements of basketball club, so it lacks the resource of professional basketball english translation talents. on the other hand, there arent any special administrative departments managing the english translators of b

44、asketball club. there are also no relevant service standards and qualified evaluation system in basketball management institution. this situation makes clubs are lack of effective way when they find translators. 4.1.3 no translation training of basketball terminology ensuring proper training and cor

45、rect translation of basketball game is the core of club work, so clubs translators must know the sports english and basketball english very well; they also must be familiar with the basic terms of basketball sports. generally speaking, not only they need the ability of listening, speaking, reading,

46、writing and translation, but also they should be able to deeply understand the various tactics terminology and truly comprehend the tactical intentions in terms of language expression. so if club cant grasp this, it is difficult to finish the job.the translation of english term of basketball is a ne

47、w career. due to starting late，the development of this career is relatively immature. the translators work ability of this field 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 6will be influenced by actual work experience. the investigation of researchers found that the professional basketball translators only worked 2 yea

48、rs on average, so it is unavoidable to lack work experience compare with the other industries. this will affect their working level. if translators make mistakes at the last moment of pitch or they dont know terminology well, there are many mistakes and cant communicate swimmingly. it is not accurat

49、e the meaning that some translators expresses between players and coaches. it is different between english translators and sports professional translators. now more foreign coaches come to local basketball club, the club also needs foreign coaches to communicate with local coaches and players throug

50、h sports professional translators. if foreign coaches need players to practice the tactics of “half-court press”, but translator translated “half press”, players will be confused. so sports professional translators are important to team. author thinks that if there is a serious mistake in the transl

51、ation it may affect results of competition or lose game. 4.2 results of translators mistakes4.2.1 tactical chaos of basketballcoach is a leader of a team. coachs words and tactic is order. translator is a person who conveys order to foreign players. if the translators have no good level, they can no

52、t express couchs meaning clearly, and then players can not executive couchs tactics very well. on the other hand, foreigner players must communicate with local players, not only in the game or training, but also in life. the communication must be helped by translators. so a unqualified translator ca

53、n make foreign players and local players appear turnovers frequently and not trippingly cooperate with each other，because they can not communicate with each other very well.4.2.2 success or failure of competitionthe result of tactics chaos is losing the game at a critical moment. for example, at the

54、 key moment in the game, coach needs players to use the tactical of full-court press, but translator translates it to the foreign players as half-court press. finally, due to the foreign players mistake makes club lose the game. after losing the game, the players probably will blame each other. then

55、 the harmony of a team may be damaged. coach will lose trust to foreign players. in todays society, basketball has developed into a purely commercial movement. so the game is related to clubs profit, if players lose the game, the club will 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 7suffer a loss. so a good translator

56、can not only directly affect the players, but also can indirectly affect the game as well as the clubs business. 5. conclusion it can be seen that a translator of english term of basketball can affect the players and the achievement of club. through analyzing, author thinks that if somebody needs to be a good english translator of basketball term, not only the translators must have good english foundation, but also have much knowledge of basketball. so a good translator of english term
