103*收稿日期:1999—06—03读《中国日报》学新闻英语林慧娜摘要:《中国日报》与英美报刊有相同之处。
通过阅读《中国日报》,读者同样可以学到新闻英语。
关键词:《中国日报》;新闻英语;特点中图分类号:H319.4文献标识码:A文章编号:1003-871X (2000)02-0103-03《中国日报》是我国发行量最大的英文报。
在中国的外商、外国专家喜欢看,懂得点英语的中国人也喜欢,更不用说那些想进一步提高英语水平、特别是想了解新闻英语之特点、学点新闻英语的读者了。
因为《中国日报》与英美报刊一样具有新闻英语之特点。
掌握阅读《中国日报》,要进一步阅读英美报刊就容易多了。
读《中国日报》《中国日报》包括的内容很广。
头版是要闻、头条新闻、主题图片、内容提要等。
二版是有关财经、国内外财贸动态、对外贸易、合资经营等。
三版是国内新闻版。
有关国内政治、经济建设和地方新闻。
第四版是评论、包括内外政策、社会舆论之类的评论文章。
另外、随笔、政治漫画、小评论、读者来信在这一版面也可找到。
第五版是文教版。
有关文化艺术、教育、科学、医学、文物、旅游。
第六版是社会新闻,包括人物特写、生活习俗、文娱消息。
第七版是体育版。
最后一版是国际新闻。
有世界各地的简讯以及世界各大城市的天气预报。
《中国日报》内容之广足以使各行各业的人都可以从报纸中找到自己感兴趣的内容。
但初读《中国日报》的人往往都感到比较难。
首先,他们碰到的是许许多多陌生的新闻词汇。
但更重要的是他们对报刊语言特点了解不够。
针对这些问题,笔者认为初学阅读《中国日报》应先从以下二个方面入手:首先,从内容熟悉的先读。
开始阅读时,没耐心且又不习惯的人大概很难念得下去。
生疏的单词、与一般英语不同的句型、句式就足以让初学者难过半天。
平常对国内外的政治时事不大关心的人,现在更是加倍困难。
有的人拼命翻字典,一小时、二小时咬着牙苦苦读下去。
但事倍功半,没什么效果。
因此,开始阅读时,应该先从内容熟悉的着手。

[英语新闻标题的特点及翻译技巧]英语新闻标题特点英语新闻标题对于新闻就像眼睛对于人一样重要，用简约的文字浓缩了新闻报道中最精华、最值得关注的内容。
英语新闻标题在词汇、结构和修辞方面均有其独特之处，如标题中所包含的文化内涵、语言颜色，尤其是寓意于标题中的修辞手段，在语言转换中与汉语难以契合，有时给译者造成难以逾越的困难。
为了吸引读者的关注，编辑们和翻译工需要对英语新闻标题的特点进行深层次把握，同时运用各种翻译技巧和理论将原英语新闻标题的形、神、韵，用汉语原汁原味地呈现出来，提升新闻标题的吸引力。
一、英语新闻标题的措词特点多年来，英文新闻报道已形成了自己独特的写作风格，尤其在用词方面新闻标题集中体现自己独有的特点。
英文新闻刊头空间是极其珍贵的，新闻工应当以最小的篇幅容纳最大的信息量。
同时“新”是新闻语言的生命，新闻英语的标题力求简短清楚，同时要求新奇活泼，以争取最大的读者群。
首先，英语新闻标题中广泛使用名词和简短小词，标题中的虚词被省去。
名词具有很强的表意功能，信息量大同时又具有广泛的语法兼容性，它可以充当多种词类的角色，也可以用间约的形式和结构表达完整句法概念，例如：The PopulationSurprise人口下降(=The decrease of thepopulation surprises people)。
英语新闻标题除了使用名词之外。
译者还常常选用那些短小精悍或字母较少的词，以求增加新闻的间接性和可读性，例如：body=committee／commission(机构，委员会)、poll=election poll／public opinion poll(选举民意调查、民意测验)。
标题中虚词省略现象主要表现在以下几个方面：(1)冠词基本省略There Gorges Floo ded hv‘Farewell’Tourists (The Three Gorges Flooded by‘Farewell’Tourists)(惜别之情难挡游客蜂拥至三峡)；(z]连系动词通常省略Clinton Inauguration Most Expen.sire Ever (=Clinton inauguration is most expensive ever.(克林顿就职典礼花费空前巨大)；(3)助动词通常省略India Mend-ing Fences(=India is mending fences.)(印度正在改善与邻国的关系)；(4)连词通常省略，并用逗号代替US，Vietnam Re-sumee Talk8 f=US and Vietnam resunle talks.)(美越恢复会谈)。

从零开始学英语如果您抱着增大词汇量，提高英语阅读能力的目的看报纸，那么就不要局限于您所感兴趣的部分。
最好通读报纸的每个栏目和版面。
包括新闻，社论甚至广告等。
值得一提的是刊登在报纸上的英文连环画，它不仅能培养您的幽默感，而且让您在会心一笑之余还能了解一个国家的文化和社会信息。
英文程度稍差的人可以在阅读英文报纸之前先看看当天的中文报纸，这对理解英文报纸很有帮助。
学习一种语言一定要查字典，但一定要讲究方法。
在这里先说两件事：第一：不要盲目的查；第二：不要查的太快；换句话说，在查字典以前要先想一想，甚至猜一猜。
英文报刊不失为接触当代英语词汇的一条捷径，这是传统教科书和一般词典所不能比的。
在报刊英语学习中，还要不断地进行总结，丰富自己的词汇。
当然对于西方记者的用词，我们也要持谨慎的分析态度，不可良莠不分，照搬照学。
报刊主要是通过文字反映我们这个变化莫测，色彩斑斓的世界。
报刊英语则是英文报刊所采用的一种特殊英语文体，其言简意赅的写作方式富含特色，丰富的词汇使用更是我们学习英文的利器。
随着时代的发展，英语词汇的变化一日千里，而这种变化和由此带来的新生事物，除了英语报刊外，几乎找不到更好的手段加以详细记录。
因此，分析报刊英语的词汇特色对于有效进行英语教学，准确把握新闻内容提高阅读水平以及了解西方社会文化都是大有裨益的。
以下就对报刊英语的词汇特色作一个简要的分析概括。
一、大量使用简短词新闻报道不同于文学创作，它是对已经发生的事实进行客观的陈述，因此在报刊英语中常使用一些独特的简短词，这些词使得新闻报道简洁生动，而一般文章很少使用这些词，这也是造成我们理解困难的因素。
浅析网络中的英语新词随着互联网的普及和网络技术的不断发展，网络新词应运而生，这些新词不仅在人们的日常交流中占据了一席之地，而且在一定程度上反映了社会和文化的发展和变化。
本文将探讨网络新词的来源及其发展趋势。
网络交流的快捷性和简洁性要求人们在输入文字时尽可能地缩短时间，因此缩写词和简写词应运而生。
例如，“梗”代表“梗概”，“zqsg”代表“真情实感”，“xswl”代表“笑死我了”等等。
这些缩写词和简写词的使用使得网络交流更加快捷和高效。
表情符号是一种非常直观的表达方式，可以很好地表达出人们的情感和态度。
在网络交流中，表情符号的使用已经非常普遍，例如“微笑”、“冷汗”、“哭泣”等等。
这些表情符号的使用使得网络交流更加生动和有趣。
随着国际交流的加深，很多外来词也被引入到汉语中，例如“粉丝”、“拷贝”、“沙发”等等。
这些外来词的引入丰富了汉语的表达方式，也反映了文化交流的深入。
随着网络技术的不断发展和普及，网络新词的形式和内容也呈现出多样化的趋势。
不仅有缩写词、简写词、表情符号、外来词等新形式的出现，而且新词的含义和用法也越来越丰富和多样。
例如，“”一词已经从最初的表示发展到了表示对某件事情的支持或认可。
网络新词的产生往往与当下的社会热点、事件、文化现象等密切相关，因此具有很强的实时性。
随着时间的推移，一些新的网络新词可能会逐渐消失，而另一些则会被广泛接受并纳入到正式的词汇中。
例如，“蓝瘦香菇”这类网络流行语，往往在一段时间内被广泛使用，但随着时间的推移，其影响力也会逐渐减弱。
网络新词的产生往往是在网络社交平台上由广大网友共同创造和推动的。
这种互动性不仅增强了网络社交平台的互动性和趣味性，也为语言的发展提供了更多的可能性。
例如，“皮一下”这类网络新词就是在网友的互动中产生的，既表达了调皮的意思，又具有一定的娱乐性质。
网络新词是网络时代发展的产物，其多样化的形式和内容、实时的更新和互动性等特点都体现了网络文化的多样性和创新性。
