1 Introduction
The essay is mainly aiming to analyze the translation strategy of English sports news into Chinese. In order to make it clear that why this subject is worthy to be explored and also to stress the importance of sports, at the beginning of the introduction, the values of sports are inevitably explained as follows. First of all, the development of sports is of great importance in a community in a number of ways such as the development of the inpidual in terms of health, physical fitness and life as a whole. Secondly, sports development will also lead to economic development where inpiduals can make a career out of sports. Last but not least, sports development can relieve social depression and provide lifelong skills that can be transferred to other areas in life.

1.1 The Values of Sports
Nowadays, sports have long been more essential to people's life, attracting people who favor the unique charm of sports at home and abroad. In our country, people not only actively and widely anticipate in sports events with great enthusiasm, but also pay much attention on competitive sports, hence to improve their physical fitness. With rapid and flourishing development of sports all over the world, people not just concentrate on sports events within national, but also cast more and more attention on various sports events and sports newspapers in other countries. Henceforth sports culture communications and exchanges are gradually being carried on and numerous countries are closely connected on a global scale. Under such circumstances, to some extent, the translation of sports news from English into Chinese can be able to provide a medium and a platform for Chinese people to understand the sports culture and values in other countries, which will promote further communication, recognition and understanding, even cooperation between Chinese and other countries and flourish the development of sports undertakings on a global scale. 浅析英语体育新闻的汉译策略:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_3619.html
