翻译与文体——新闻英语翻译新闻英语（journalistic English）指英文报刊上常见的各类文章，体裁多样，有新闻报道、新闻特写、广告、公报、文艺作品、述评、访谈、学术介绍和争鸣……题材广泛，内容包罗万象。
限于篇幅，也因不存在一个统一的新闻报刊文体和为了便于陈述，本课所要讲的新闻英语主要指那些新闻性强的news report，news analysis, news features等。
新闻英语有以下文体特点：（一）词汇层面（1）新闻报道通常拥有自己的一些惯用词汇，或者叫做"新闻词语"，如story一词意思常常是news item或news report，而probe一词则指"（新闻）调查"，如中央电视台的一个重要栏目"新闻调查"即译为News Probe。
还有如cut表示reduction；bar表示prevent；curb表示restrain或control等等。
常见的其他例子还有：accord (give) ban (prohibition) bid (attempt) boost (rise, increase) clash抵触，不谐调(disagreement) deal交易，协议(business agreement) freeze稳定，冻结：使（如物价或工资）固定在一个既定或现行的标准上(stabilization) loom隐现(appear) blaze 强调燃烧强度并暗示发光的光辉(fire) comb彻底搜查(search) row 骚乱，吵嚷[rau] (violent argument) rap (to speak severely to, to blame, to punish) move提出议案：按国会的程序作出正式提议(plan, decision, suggestion) round (a series of action) shock (astonishment, blow) shun躲避：故意避开(to keep away from…) heist抢劫；偷窃(robbery) viable (workable) voice (express) operation An instance or a method of efficient, productive activity:有效率的经营方式(activities) pact合同, 公约, 协定(agreement) woo寻求以达到；尽力得到(to seek to win…，to persuade…) fake (counterfeit)这些常用的新闻词语一般都具有短小精悍的特点，这主要是由于使用短小的词语能够节省时间和篇幅并有利于抢发新闻的缘故。
