大家从未接触过的新闻听力可能成了四级考生心中的痛,但任何考试都有其规律可言。

1.入门阶段要先了解新闻内容再去听

新闻都具有时效性,因此就相关的内容进行搜索以自己熟悉的语言先大致了解新闻内容,再拿听力材料进行练习。入门阶段建议这样做,要不一上来去听新闻会觉得陌生而困惑。练习几次后,再直接进行新闻听力英文的接触。

2.养成良好的听力习惯

大家不要因为一个词或者一个句子没有听懂而中断后续的思路,如果这样的听力习惯会导致整个内容的混乱与丢失。因此切记不要在没有听懂的地方过于纠结与停留,因为一点内容没有听懂不会影响到整个文章内容的听不懂,我们要学会抓大放小,学会放弃。听不懂的地方整个听完后再回去反复听,要弄明白没有听懂的原因,可能是某个单词不认识;某个专业术语意思理解偏差;某个语法不明白导致句子意思无法理解;或者语速加快导致的;又或者是自己的不专心。

3.不要在乎特别难懂的人名或地名

新闻中往往会涉及过多的人名或地名,我们在平时练习时不用过多识记,在考试中也不用被这些次要词妨碍,比如在某国家某小镇发生的爆炸事件,其中关键性的内容是爆炸事件,而发生的地点则不影响内容,在题目中也不会问及这些关于国家地点的问题。

4.尽快锁定大致内容

新闻的主旨往往在首句处,因此前边内容要认真听清楚,往往一句话概括出内容,后边都是细节介绍。所以要尽快地抓住文章主旨。2主旨句往往含有内容关键词,比如bus explosion/US,election race等等。当然也会有Now in sports(现在进入体育新闻)....../Turn to the Middle East(现在转向中东地区)......等简单的呈现方式。

以上就是新闻听力需要注意的几点,技巧再多,纸上谈兵都不如实际操练效果来得快。听力本就是一件需要不断“磨耳朵”的体验。望大家能够抓住寒假时间,进行VOA或者BBC新闻听力的练习。最后祝愿大家复习顺利,考试成功!

国外文化英语新闻短篇范文 第5篇

For a nation that has remained relatively insulatedfrom the terrorist violence that roiled the continentin recent years, the sight of British troops patrollingmainland UK streets — one consequence of theterror threat level rising to “critical” — will come asa particular shock. It will raise the spectre of 20__  ,when Tony Blair sent 400 soldiers with armouredvehicles to Heathrow, and the dangerous years thatfollowed, when security services feared that theywere losing their grasp on the problem. The bombingof Manchester Arena on Monday night is redolent ofthat period. It is the worst terrorist attack on Britain since the July 7 London bombings morethan a decade ago and the worst-ever attack on Manchester and the north. But how new andadvanced was this atrocity?

Former officials of the National Counter Terrorism Office (NCTO) have suggested that the attackwas “sophisticated”. This is true, insofar as it represents a step up from the low-technologyvehicle and knife attacks seen in the UK over the past 12 years. Building a bomb is significantlyharder than procuring a van or a blade, and entails several steps — research, acquisition ofmaterials, and perhaps collaboration — that increase the probability of detection by theintelligence services.

Yesterday’s decision by MI5’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) to raise the threat levelfor international terrorism, meaning that an attack is expected imminently, probably reflectshome secretary Amber Rudd’s acknowledgment that 22-year-old Salman Abedi “likely?.?.?.?wasn’t doing this on his own”, that such a bomb would have required assistance, and that oneor more accomplices therefore remain on the loose.

The search for such individuals may be protracted: recall that Salah Abdeslam, participant inthe Paris attacks in November , was only caught four months later, across the border inBrussels. After the Brussels bombings, it took 17 days for police to arrest severalsuspects. There is a strong possibility that the threat level will remain elevated through thegeneral election.

At the same time it is useful to assess this attack in a broader perspective. There was justone attacker, compared with the nine involved in Paris. There was one bomb, compared with thethree used in Brussels. The bomb, though designed to maximise shrapnel, and thereforeindicating more than rudimentary knowledge, was not one of the highly advanced non-metallic devices, capable of bypassing security screening, developed by al-Qaeda’s Yemenbranch in recent years, and which has prompted the most recent ban on laptops in cabinbaggage. The perpetrator was not carrying an assault rifle that might have allowed him tomaximise casualties before detonation. “As an island,” noted the National Crime Agency inNovember, “the UK is insulated from the relatively free flow of firearms which exists incontinental Europe”.

British police and intelligence agencies have also quietly signalled to gangs that eveninadvertent provision of weapons to jihadis would bring down crushing pressure. It isprofoundly troubling that a young man should have been able to build an explosive devicewithout the knowledge of his local community or the authorities, but in the context of moderninternational terrorism, this ranked midway on the scale of sophistication.

appears to have a preference for soft targets,” noted Europol’s 2016 terrorist trend report, “because they are more effective than attacks on critical infrastructure, the military, policeand other hard targets”. British security f

orces have factored in this risk for well over a decade.

Finally, Abedi could hardly be more typical of the modern European terrorist: a young, male,second-generation immigrant, drawn into gangs, and known to the authorities. This is a classicprofile. As the French scholar Olivier Roy has observed in the French context, there is a riskthat “second-generation immigrants neither want the culture of their parents nor a westernculture — both have become sources of their self-hatred”. Gang members, as the UK homeaffairs select committee reported in , were part of a “critically vulnerable group because ofthe significant numbers of converts in gangs and the kind of ideology prevalent within thesegroups”. And, like so many others, Abedi was on the security services’ radar, albeit as afringe figure.

What is significant is that Abedi had returned from Libya “days ago”, and probably travelled toSyria too, according to French interior minister Gerard Collomb. He would be the first suchreturnee to conduct an attack in the UK. This will reignite the question of how securityservices can monitor the large number of returnees — possibly several hundred — with limitedresources.

The Manchester attack takes the UK into a period of uncertainty and insecurity. But we arebetter prepared than we were in , when troops last marched out of the barracks; in ,when bombs struck London; or , when the threat level first turned critical. The exactthreat may be uncertain, but its type is not unknown.

新闻英语:日本“辐射牛”

请看外电的报道:

Japan's second-biggest retailer said on Sunday it had sold beef from cattle that ate nuclear-contaminated feed, the latest in a series of health scares from radiation leaking from a quake-crippled nuclear power plant。

日本第二大零售商周日称其已售出部分吃了遭核辐射污染饲料的牛肉,这是地震导致的核电站泄漏事故引发的又一健康威胁。

上文报道中的nuclear-contaminated feed即“遭核辐射污染的饲料”,食用了这种饲料的牛被称为nuclear-contaminated cattle(“辐射牛”),“辐射牛”被宰杀拿到市面上出售的.辐射牛肉即nuclear-tainted beef。contaminated和tainted意思都是“受污染的”。例如:melamine-contaminated milk powder就是“受三聚氰胺污染的奶粉”。

负责协调nuclear cleanup(核清理)的日本官员称日本将可能停止beef shipments(牛肉运输)。“辐射牛肉”所含的辐射量已远远超过safety standards(安全标准)所规定的水平。

国外文化英语新闻短篇范文 第7篇

It’s not uncommon that some journalists make up false or misleading stories about celebrities, illnesses, crimes, etc. Take celebrities for example. The death of the famous writer Jin Yong appeared in several news reports recently, which proved to be false. People may wonder why so many journalists cook up false stories.

More often than not, the reason is all about personal interests. Most journalists create misleading news in order to draw public attention so as to make themselves more popular or to win certain prizes. To achieve these goals, they try to get something out of nothing and rumour about famous figures regardless of those people’s privacy. Now, it’s high time for China’s journalism supervisory bodies to deal with the false news reports. They should take stringent measures to prevent all possible false news. For instance, journalists who are found to manipulate news should be severely punished and could be banned from news writing for ten years or more.

英语新闻的体裁

特写的种类很多,不论是哪一种性质的特写,其 写作形式或结构与消息报道不一样。它们一般没有 特定的规律或格式可循。读者在阅读英文报纸时,可 看到各种不同结构的文章,别开生面。有的略提一下 整个会议程序和会场情景,专写一个问题的讨论,一 个提案的提出,一次独特的会面等等。还有的抓住时 间过程中的某一个富有情趣或人情味浓厚的细节层 层开掘,溯前追后,写出立体化的新闻。

特写的结构虽无定格,但是英文报刊上众多的 特写文章通常以一个概括性的导语或引言开头,点 出部分事实要点;或从生动的情节、场面和引语入 笔,但不透露大多,真正最重要、最精彩的东西,放在 后面。此乃一宕一跌,首尾呼应,文义完美,使人读完 终篇后产生一种“满足感”,从而兴趣愈浓,印象愈 深。

就新闻价值而言,英语报刊上的特写可分为新 闻性特写和趣味性特写。当然,将英语特写简单分为 两大类,难免带有较大的武断性,因为有不少特写往 往介乎于两者之间,算哪一类都可以。因此,较普遍 能接受的方法是,将英语特写按采写题材或范围划 分成十余种具体的类别,其中最常见的主要有人物 特写、事件特写和风光特写等。

社论是报纸的灵魂。它代表着报社的言论,最集 中地体现某种立场、观点,常常及时地评述当前社会 上的重大事件或问题,以言辞明快犀利,论理深刻、透辟的特点来吸引和影响读者,起到感染读者的号 召性作用。现代英语报刊常聘请资历深、声望高的老 记者和名记者担任专栏作家(columnist),在言论版 上辟一个专栏,每天或定期刊登他们的署名评论性 文章。这些专栏作家不仅具有丰富的新闻工作经验、渊博的知识和相当的专业修养,而且还具备敏锐的 分析能力和深湛的驾驭文字的功底。因此,他们笔下 的言论,往往富有巨大的吸引力。如美国著名专栏作 家沃尔特・李普曼(Walter Lippman,1889-1974), 就曾经接受《纽约先驱论坛报》(The New York Herald-Tribune)的聘请,撰写“今日和明日”(Today and Tomorrow)的专栏,每周两次,持续30多年之 久,曾在资本主义世界产生过重大的影响。作为新闻 体裁中的一个大类,社论不同于以叙述新闻事实为 主的消息与特写。英语社论的篇幅一般较长,文字比 较正式,语气较为严肃,语法结构繁琐的长句、难句 也较常见,故初读英语报刊的读者常常会对大块大 块黑压压的文字望而生畏,不敢问津。

其实,以发表议论、阐明事理的社论文章,主要运用逻辑思维去说服读者。在篇章结构上,社论不同于消息或特写,却与一般的议论文颇为相似,即通常 由“引论”――“论证”――“结论”三部分组成。读者在实际阅读中,不妨先看一下社论开头的引论部分,了解一下全文的论点,然后浏览一下对引论逐段进 行论证的部分,最后,在结尾部分再细看一下全文的结论。结论部分一般都会回答引论所提出的问题或重申一下全文的观点。若照此方法阅读,读者就容易 抓住要点,消除“畏惧”心理,久而久之,便会觉得社论并不是过于高深难懂的。当然,读报习惯与方法因而异,不宜机械效仿。

新闻英语的标题简短小词

这是因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强新闻的简洁性和可读性,而且还能节省版面篇幅。如表示“破坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词,标题一般不用damage,而用一些较之简短的词,如hit,harm,hurt, ruin或wreck等。又如表示“放弃”这一概念的动词,标题一般不用abandon,而用drop,give up,quit,skip或yield 等,表示“爆炸”之类的动词意义时,一般不用 explode,而用blast,crash, ram或smash等词。简而言之,英语新闻标题大都喜欢选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比较广泛的词。 这类动词在标题中屡见不鲜,读者平时阅读时不妨多加留意,这对于提高英语水平,尤其是熟悉英语同义动词,无疑是大有稗益的。为便于读者更好地理解英语新闻标题,现再列举一些常见诸报端的标题小词,以备不时之需: aid=assist(帮助,援助)alter=change or modify(改变)ask=inquire(询问)assail=denounce(谴责)axe=dismiss\reduce(解雇,减少)balk=impede(阻碍)ban=prohibit or forbid(禁止)bar=prevent(防止,阻止)bare=expose or reveal(暴露,揭露)blast=explode(爆炸)begin=commence(开始)bid=attempt(努力)bilk=cheat(欺骗)bolt=desert or abandon(放弃)boost=increase(增加,提高)check=examine(检查)claim=ause the death of…(夺去……的生命)clash=disagree strong1y(发生分歧,争议)curb=control or restrict(控制)dip=decIlne or decrease(下降)ease=lessen(减轻,缓和)end=terminate(结束,中止)flay=criticize(批评)flout=insult(侮辱)foil=prevent from(阻止,防止)grill = investigate(调查)gut=destroy(摧毁)head=direct(率领)hold=arrest(逮捕)laud=praise(赞扬)lop=diminish(下降,减少)map=work out(制订)mark=celebrate(庆祝)name=appoint\nominate(命名,提名)moot=discuss(讨论)mull=consider(考虑)nab=arrest(逮捕)nip=defeat(击败)nix=deny\disapprove(否决,拒绝)opt=choose(选择)oust=expel(驱逐)peril=endanger(危害,危及)pledge=determine(发誓)plot=conspire(预谋,密谋策划)plunge=plummet(价格等)暴跌poise=ready for action(作好准备)probe=investigate(调查)raid =attack(进攻)rap =criticize(批评)rebuke=criticize(批评)rout=defeat completely(击溃,打垮)slay=murder(谋杀)soar=skyrocket(急剧上升)spur=encourage(激励,鞭策)swap=exchange(交流,交换)sway=influence(影响)trim=reduce(削减)vie=compete(竞争)vow=determine(决心,发誓)weigh=consider(考虑)woo=seek to win(争取,追求)

标题除偏爱使用短小动词外,还常常选用简短、字母数少的名词或名词词组。如accord与agreement,aide与assistant,aim与purpose,rally与amass assembly,drive与campaign,talk与negotiation 等。例如:

新闻听力同短文听力比较类似,除了每道题、每一选项进行横向阅读以外,还要进行纵向阅读。纵向阅读就是将该题所有选项竖向浏览, 这一浏览方式的好处为:将题与题之间建立关联,可以预判题目可能的考查方向。同时,在同一篇新闻下的几个题目中,选项反复出现的一些关键词可以做听题提示词。在这些听题提示词的前后,往往有答案出现,同时偶尔也是对主旨的暗示。

听题注意事项:

在听题过程中,新闻听力的第一句至关重要!往往是主旨句。同时,新闻听力中间的地名、人名、国家名等的后面常出现听题点。当然,这些人名、地名、国家名等等,往往会让大家感到陌生,这其实提醒我们:遇到生单词千万不要纠结,而是注意听其后的相关内容。

除了第一句、听题中间遇到的大写字母词以外,时间词是新闻听力中的重要标志。尤其是事故类,一般都会有明确的时间。在不同的时间段后面会紧接着谈论事故的起因、经过、结果。

冲刺备考准备:

新闻听力根据四、六级短文听力和英语专业四级新闻听力的同一帮“国内考试考委会元老们”的思路来看,常考的题材通常为以下几种:

1)事故类

2)政治类

3)医疗健康类

4)经济类

5)日常生活类

英语新闻系列讲座词汇

我们在学习现代英语时,也要尽可能经常接触英语报刊、广播。毫不夸张他说,当今社会日新月异的发展成百倍地拓展了现代英语的涵盖范畴,以至于有人戏言,倘若莎士比亚再生,恐怕也要沦为文盲。而英语世界里这一日千里的变迁和由此带来的新生事物,除了报刊等英语新闻媒体外,几乎找不到更好的手段予以详细记录。现代英语已与我们的长辈几十年以前从课本上学到的英语有了区别。虽说是大同小异,但小异在哪儿?最简便的方法就是从英语报刊等新闻媒介中寻找。可见,新闻英语无疑将有助于我们学习现代英语的各种实用文体与风格,扩大学习视野,丰富各方面的知识。

英语报刊集现代英语之大成,如总统庄严的声明,民众轻松的闲聊,各学科的术语,各领域的行话,风土人情乃至市井俚语,英语报刊无所不包,从而有利于我们广大英语爱好者根据自己的需要和爱好各取所需。不难理解,英语报刊是我们学习和掌握现代英语最实用的途径之一,其鲜明七实用的词汇特色集中表现在以下几个方面:

现代社会发展迅猛,其结果之一便是新词语不断涌现。新中国成立以来,尤其是改革开放以来,现代汉语中出现了大量的新词汇,包括旧词新义、流行语、外来新词语等;甚至不少己湮没多年的旧词语也频频亮相,给人们,尤其是年轻一代,以耳目一新之感。在改革开放的今天,由于词典等工具书的编纂周期难以赶上现实生活中新词语的产生速度,广大英语学习者面临的一大难题就是,如何把这些新词语译成地道的英语。而英语报刊正好起到了为一般双语词典“拾遗补缺”的作用,如“双休日”、“拳头产品”、“人才流动”、“外向型经济”、“三资企业”、“扫黄运动”、“不正之风”、“小康水平”、“退居二线”、“有偿新闻”,“与国际接轨”等词语的英译,首先都是见诸英语报端的。现列举几则摘自英语报刊含有这类新词语英语表达的实例,以资佐证:

1、Taking advantage of the two-day dayoffs, he basked1 in the spring sunshine with his family.

他和家人一起沐浴在春天的阳光之下,享受双休日所带来的乐趣。

2、The central government called on every region to develop its own export-oriented hit products according to its local advantages and characteristic.

_号召各地利用本地优势和特点开发当地的出口型拳头产品。

3、In order to fully2 tap the human resources, the rational flow of trained personnel should not only be allowed but also be encouraged.

为了充分发掘人才潜力,不仅应该允许人才合理流动,而且还要鼓励人才流动。

4、To further develop the export一oriented economy, Shanghai is to make a number of preferential policies soon to encourage business people both at home and abroad to set up more enterprises in the the three forms of ventures, i. e. enterprises for Sino-foreign joint3 venture, for Sino-foreign co-production and enterprises with sole foreign capital.

为了进一步发展外向型经济,上海最近将出台一系列优惠政策,以鼓励国内外经营者创建更多的三资企业,即中外合资企业、中外合作企业和外商独资企业。

5、The disappearance4 of such materials as pornographic and obscene books, periodicals and tapes is proof that China's campaign against porns is making progress.

黄色书刊及音响制品现己难觅踪迹,这证明了中国的扫黄运动正在取得进展。

6、Some austere5 measures should be taken to check the unhealthy tendencies which, according to the press exposures, were rampant6 in some localities.

从新闻媒介所暴露的情况来看,不正之风在一些地区已非常严重,必须采取严格措施刹住这股歪风。

7、The next ojective for the Chinese people to strive for is to reach the well-to-do level.

中国人民的下一个奋斗目标是在本世纪末达到小康水平。

8、He works enthusiastically as ever even though he has retired7 from the leading post.

尽管己退居二线,他的工作热情丝毫不减。

9、Journalists should firmly object to the payoffs-aimed fournalism which deviates8 from press ethics9.

新闻记者应坚决反对有偿新闻,因为它违背了新闻记者的职业道德。

10、Many large companies in Shanghai have geared themselves to the international conventions and set up aftersales services accepting repairs and dealing10 with customers, complaints.

上海的许多大公司都专门设有售后服务中心,接受维修业务和处理客户投诉,目的在于与国际接轨。

以上诸例显示,阅读英语报刊不失为接触现代英语脉搏的一条事半功倍的捷径,这是传统教科书和一般双语词典所望尘莫及的。这一特点无疑有助于英语学习者紧紧跟上现代英语的发展步伐和提高英语的表达能力。类似的新词英译在英语报刊中俯拾即是,再举数例,以飨读者:

China's actual conditions 中国国情

bonded area 保税区

be honest in performing one's official duties 廉洁奉公

build a clean and honest government; construction of a clean government 廉政建设

abuse of power for personal gain; misuse of power for private interest 以权谋私

corruption reporting centre 举报中心

be responsible for one's own profit and loss 自负盈亏

jack up price 哄抬物价

with the inflation factors deducted; inflation adjusted 扣除物价上涨因素

bureaucrat profiteering; bureaucrat racketeering 官倒

single youth above the normal matrimonial age 大龄青年

agricultural people to be given non-agricultural status 农转非

现代英语中表达新事物、新概念的新词新义大多是率先出现在英语报刊中,然后再流行于世的。这是因为一件新事物的出现,首先需要通过媒体来向大众宣传,这样,新事物的名称也就通过新闻先被人们所认识了。如euthanasia(安乐死),_ [acquired immune deficiency syndrome1 (艾滋病)],elevated highways (高架道路),information superhighway(信息高速公路),beeper(无线传呼机,俗称“拷机”、BP机),cellular phone (移动电话),value-added tax(增值税),latchkey child(挂钥匙的孩子),CD compact disc(光盘)],hula hoop(呼拉圈),surfing(冲浪运动),talking)show(访谈节目;谈话类节目),karaoke(卡拉OK)等新词,无一不是通过英语报刊等媒介传播后而为人们所熟知的。

可见,新闻媒介是日新月异的当今世界政治、经济、科技、文化乃至社会生活等各个触角的最佳表现渠道,现代英语中新词语的出现与这些领域里产生的新事物、新问题、新现象等无不一一有着千丝万缕的关系。现代汉语里这类因现实生活中新事物而出现的新词也比比皆是,如“物质文明”(material progress)、“精神文明”(intellectual and ideological2 development)、“五讲四美三热爱”(five advocatings,four points of beauty and three aspects of love)、“扒分”(moonlight)、“斩(宰)客”(rip off)、“打白条”(issue IOUs)、“关系网”(network of personal connections )、“下海”(risk one's fortune in business)、“跳槽”(job-hop)等等。因此,这类新词的出现是伴随着特定的政治、社会等环境而产生的,因此他们具有明显的社会性,易于被读者所普遍接受。如1957年10月4日,前苏联发射了世界上第一颗人造卫星,开辟了人类探索宇宙的新纪元,一时举世翘首,瞩望天空。英语新闻报道将它按俄文字母拼为 Sputnik I Satellite。之后,sputnik一词因广为使用而被载入词典,解释为“人造卫星”。

又如,1969年7月20日,美国阿波罗号(Apollo)宇宙飞船登月成功,许多国家的传播媒介竞相报道,由此也产生了大量有关的新词,现都已广泛使用在日常英语中,如moonwalk(月面行走),moonman(登月飞行员;月球飞行研究者),moonfall(登月),moonscape(月面景色),moonrock(月球岩石),mooncraft(月球飞船),moonport(月球火箭发射场),moonset(月落),moonship(月球飞船),moon shoot(<火箭、宇宙飞船等>向月球发射;月射),earthrise(地出),space sickness(宇航病),space suit(宇航服),space travel(太空旅行),space walk(太空行走),spaceflight(宇宙飞行),Space Age(航天时代;太空时代),space cadet(宇宙飞行迷),space colony(宇宙空间移民区),space industry(航天工业),spacelift(宇宙运输),space race(太空竞争),space science(航天科学),等等。

此外,现代英语中旧词添新义的现象也往往是最先在英语报刊等传媒中创下新例,以后经人仿效,达到相当程度的普遍性后,才逐渐被吸收进词典里,正式成为现代英语词汇家族里二员的。如,hawk和 dove这两个词原意分别为“鹰”和“鸽”,前者现常被新闻记者用来指代政府内阁或议会中主张用武力解决争端的“强硬派”(又译“鹰派”),而后者常指代主张用和平手段解决争端的“温和派”(又译“鸽派”)。又如,gay这个词,原意为“快乐的”,现常在英语报刊里用来指“_的”或“_者”。一系列与 gay有关的词也随之产生,包括gay—in(_者集会(或_)),gay bar(_者酒吧),gay boy(_男子),gayfriend(_对象),gay civil rights(_公民权),gay community(_群居村)和gay lib(_解放运动;争取_权利运动)等。再如,think和tank两词原义分别为“思考”和“箱、柜”,但“think tank”这个新词组经过英语报刊等新闻载体广为运用后己正式编入词典,表示 “智囊团”或“顾问班子”之义。最近有人将它译为 “思想库”,已是直译了。再如,brain一词原义主要为“头脑”,现己与一些名词、动词构成许多具有新义的词语,如brain box(电脑,电子计算机),brainchild(脑力劳动成果),brain drain(人才外流),brain gain(人才流入),brainstorm(群策群力;献计献策),brain trust(智囊团),brain truster(智囊;顾问),brainwash(对……实行_;强制灌输),brainwork(脑力劳动),brainworker(脑力劳动者)。此类词在英语发展过程中原有的词义得到扩展和引申,不仅给常用词带来简洁有力的新义,而且还使它们具有形象化的表达力,因此它们不但为人们所喜爱,并且越来越广泛地得到应用。它们有时虽然与原意风马牛不相及,但在英语报刊中却层出不穷,大大丰富了现代英语的词汇。当然,这类词义的变化,其结果常造成它的引申义得到强化而本义却被掩盖。遇到这类词时,最好多加留意,切不可望文生义。

国外文化英语新闻短篇范文 第16篇

动词表示一种动态,新闻标题在浓缩新闻内容时,如能恰到好处地用上一个动词,就能增色不少,给人以形象生动、跃然纸上的感觉。如earthquake Hits Osakakobe(地震重袭(日本)皈神地区)远比 Earthouake Inosakakobe显得具体而达意。标题中用了动词,固然好处不少,但也给我们阅读英语报刊增加了一个困难。

我们知道,英语中的动词有时态变化,在英语新闻标题中也不例外。但由于新闻标题必须言简意赅,不可能采用英语的所有时态形式来浓缩新闻事实。为此,新闻标题形成了自身独有的时态特点,以达到使动词既传神达意又具时间感的目的。英语报刊的新闻标题中一般不用过去时态,当然更不用过去完成时等时态,而采用现在时态,使读者阅报时一如置身于这条新闻事件中,这叫做“新闻现在时” (Journalistic Present Tense),与文学写作中的 “历史现在时”,(Historical Present Tense)实际上完全一样。所以,英语新闻标题中常用的动词时态主要有三种:一般现在时、将来时和现在进行时。

现分述如下:

1、一般现在时通常被用来表示过去发生的事

通常情况下,报刊所载消息多为己发生过的事,按日常英语语法,标题中的动词应使用过去时态,但是这样容易给人产生一种陈旧感,似有‘昨日黄花,之嫌,缺乏吸引力。为了弥补这一缺陷,英语新闻标题常用一般现在时从形式上来增强报道的新鲜感(Freshness)、现实感。Reality,和直接感(Immediacy)。此外,标题采用动词的一般现在时还可省去动词过去式构成中常见的“Ed”两个字母,节省标题字数。正因一般现在时在英语新闻标题中的这一特殊。用法,初读英语报纸的读者应特别注意这一现象,不要把它误以为是日常英语语法中的一般现在时,从而影响对全文内容的阅读与理解。 例如:

Comeback Gives China A Sensational Thomas Cup Win. (The Comeback Gave China A Sensational Thomas Cup Win.)

中国队反败为胜荣获汤姆斯杯。

Street Battle In Heavy Shelling As Peace Talks Proceed. (Street Battle In Heavy Shelling As Peace Talks Proceeded.)

和平会谈进行之际巷战依然炮声隆隆。

2、动词的将来时更多地直接采用动词不定式来表达

英语新闻标题中动词将来时的表达形式除一般将来时“Will+动词原形”外,更多的还是采用“联系动词be+动词不定式”结构,其中联系动词be通常省略,以节省标题字数。换言之,动词不定式在英语新闻标题中可直接表示未来动作,这是因为不定式标志“To”只由两个字母构成,比一般将来时中的“Will”来得少,故频频见诸英语报端。例如:

Last Two Beiruit Hostages 'To Go Free'. (The Last Two Hostages In Beiruit Are 'To Go Free'.)

贝鲁特最后两名人质“获释在望”。

Florida Freeze To Increase Area Produce Prices. (The Freeze In Florida Is To Increase The Areas Produce Prices.)

佛罗里达严寒将使该地区农产品涨价。

3、现在分词直接表示正在进行的动作或事件

对于正在发生的事态或动作,英语新闻标题也按日常英语语法规则处理,采用现在进行时“Be+现在分词”这一形式,但其中“Be”又通常省略。因此,剩下的现在分词便在新闻标题中直接表示正在进行的动作或正在发展的事态。例如:

Signs Of Rifts Appearing In Argentina's Junta. (The Signs Of Rifts Are Appearing In Argentina's Junta.)

阿根廷军人政府出现内讧迹象。

Deposits, Loans Rising In Shanghai. (Deposits And Loans Are Rising In Shanghai.)

上海储蓄与贷款额见升。
