摘要

众所周知，模糊修辞广泛地运用在我们的日常生活中，就像在当代社会，英语体育新闻中包含了很多用模糊修辞写成的单词，句子和段落。自从20年前模糊理论引入到修辞研究后，模糊修辞就成为了修辞研究的一个分支。随着对模糊修辞的研究慢慢增多，人们开始意识到它在跨文化交流和跨文化交际方面的独特魅力。然而，现在只有为数不多的模糊修辞翻译理论，所以，我们给与模糊修辞翻译更多的关注和研究是值得和有意义的。
鉴于上述所给与的观点，这篇论文一开始对模糊修辞理论做个总体的介绍，从它的定义，特点到功能，旨在给与我们一个对于模糊修辞的总的认识。之后，文章以英语体育新闻作为研究文本，并只关注于其中的模糊词汇的翻译。先梳理了英语体育新闻中单词的特征，然后分类了模糊词汇的形式。在做好上述两点之后，论文在比较奈达的功能对等理论和弗米尔的目的论之后提出了两点模糊修辞翻译特点，并可以作为模糊修辞翻译理论的依据。在最后一篇章里，本文运用了具体的例子来例证这些特点。
