  ABSTRACT: Interpreters play an important role in sports and medical interpreting. The development of globalization, immigration, and broadcast technology leads to an increasing demand for interpreters. But interpreting now is still performed by both professional and non-professional interpreters. Therefore, this essay compares the similarities and differences between sports and medical interpreting by non-professional interpreters in terms of interpreting strategies, identity roles, interpretation modes, and influencing factors. This essay also suggests that the low cost, high proficiency in specialized terminology, and a similar level to that of professional interpreters present new challenges for professional interpreters and interpreting pedagogy.
