Unit 4 MAKING THE NEWSY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT Unforgettable”, says new journalistNever will Zhou Yang( ZY) forget his first assignment （同义词：task/mission/duty）at the office of a popular Englishnewspaper. His discussion with his new boss, HuXin( HX), was to strongly influence his life as a journalist.(=reporter/corres pondent)HX: Welcome. We’re delighted you’re coming to work with us. Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions?ZY: Can I get out on a story immediately?HX：(laughing) That’s admirable, but I’m afraid it would be unusual! Wait till you’re more experienced. First we’ll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist. Later you can cover a story(新闻采访) and submit（提交）the article yourself.ZY: Wonderful! What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and camera.HX: No need for a camera. You’ll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs. You’ll find your colleagues very eager to assist you, so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you’re interested.ZY: Thank you. Not only am I interested in photograp hy, but I took an amateur course atuniversity to update（=improve）my skills. HX: Good.ZY: What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?HX: You need to be curious （n, curiosity）. Only (if you ask many different questions) will you acquire all the information (you need to know). We say a good journalist must have a good “nose”(嗅觉) for astory. That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it. They must use research to inform themselves of（使……了解）the missing parts of the story.ZY: What should I keep in mind? (=pay attention to) HX: Here comes my list of dos and don’ts: don’ts miss your deadline, don’t berude, don’t talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interview ee carefully. ZY: Why is listening so important?HX: Well, you have to listen for detailed facts. Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.ZY: But how can I listen carefully while (I am) taking notes?HX: This is a trick of the trade.(干这一行的诀窍) If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straight（=get all the real facts）. It’s also useful if a person wants to challenge(挑战/质疑) you. You have the evidence to support your story.ZY: I see! Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end ofthe stick?（=misunderstand what has been said）(误解/报道失实)HX: Yes, but it was a long time ago. This is how the story goes. A football was accused of taking money(= take bribes) for deliberately （= on purpose）not scoring goals so as to let the other team win. We went to interview him. He denied taking money but wewere skeptical (=we were not sure of that). So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him. When we saw him together we guessed from the footballer’s body language that he was not telling the truth. So we wrote an article suggesting (which suggested) he was guilty. It was a dilemma because the footballercould have demanded damages if we were wrong. He tried to stop us publishing it but later we were proved right.ZY: Wow! That was a real “scoop”(独家新闻). I’m looking forward to my first assignment now. Perhaps I’ll get a scoop too！HX: Perhaps you will. You never know.（= who knows! ）GE TTINH THE “SCOOP”“Quick,” said the editor. “Get that story ready. We need it in this edition to be ahead of the other newspapers. This is a scoop.” Zhou Yang had just come back into the office after an interview with a famous film star. “Did he really do that?” asked someone from the International NewsDepartment. “Yes, I’m afraid he did,” Zhou Yang answered. He set to work. His first task was to write his story, but he had to do it carefully. Although he realized the man had been lying,(=realizing the man…) Zhou Yang knew he must not accuse him directly. He would have to be accurate. Concise too! He knew how to do that. Months of training had taught him towrite with no wasted words or phrases. (=没有废话) He sat down at his computer and began to work.The first person who saw his article was a senior editor（编审）from his department. He checked the evidence, read the article and passed it on to the copy-editor.（技术编辑）She began to edit the piece and design the main headline and smallerheading,“This will look very good on the page,” she said. “Where is a good picture of this man?（=where should the picture be put?）” Then as the article was going to be written in English Zhou Yang also took a copy to the native speaker employed by the newspaper to polish（润色）the style.（Polish：波兰的，波兰语，波兰人polisher:抛光工人，抛光机）She was also very happy with Zhou Yang’s story. “You are really able to write a good front page article,” she said, Zhou Yang smiled with happiness. Last of all, the chief editor read it and approved it. “Well done,” he said to Zhou Yang. “But please show me your evidence so we’re sure we’ve got our facts straight.” “I’ll bring it toyou immediately,” said Zhou Yang excitedly.The news desk editor（文字编辑）took the story and began to work on（排版）all the stories and photos until all the pages were set. All the information was then ready to be processed （=made）into film negatives.(negative:消极的，负的，底片) This was the first stage of the printing process. Theyneeded four negatives, as several colours were going to be used on the story. Each of the main colours had one negative sheet and when they were combined they made a coloured age for the newspaper. After one last check the page was ready to be printed. Zhou Yang waited excitedly for the first copies to be ready. “Wait till tonight,” his friend whispered. “I expectthere will be something about this on the television news. A real scoop！”。
