关于THE的问题

我看新警察故事,中间亚洲银行的英文名是Bank of Asia,而港资银行的名字是The Bank of Hong Kong.为什么一个前面有THE ,一个没有?

The 是特指. The Bank of Hong Kong is fine and easy to understand.

Bank of Asia is like Bank of China. Both should be The....

But the fact is: Everyone (the world) knows that there is only one Bank of China, one Bank of Asia out there. So it can be omitted. Also it has been in existence for many many years, and there is no confusion to people.

Your grammar is correct. Both SHOULD use THE. But history is history.

the是特指的用法,相反的,没有the既泛指。
如你说的第二句:the Bank of HongKong后面其实还可以跟上表示具体的词语,比方说the Bank of HongKong in this street.表示在这条街上有那么一个银行。而 Bank of HongKong in this street.表示这条街上有一个银行。
