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。

5. These Are the Happiest Countries in the World5.世界上最具幸福感的国家Denmark’s residents are the most satisfied with their lives, according to the Better Life Index released Monday. According to the study, published annually by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States failed to crack the top 10 for the fifth consecutive year.周一公布的幸福指数显示，丹麦民众对他们的生活最为满意。
根据经合组织每年公布的调查结果，美国已经连续五年没有进入前十。
The Better Life Index rates the 34 OECD member nations, as well as Brazil and the Russian Federation, on 22 variables that contribute to overall well-being, including income, education, housing, health, and life satisfaction. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 10 countries with the highest life satisfaction score.幸福指数评估了34个经合组织成员国以及巴西和俄罗斯联邦，通过影响全面幸福的22个变量，包括收入，教育，住房，健康和生活满意度等等。
24/7 Wall St.评选出了10个生活满意度最高的国家。
A healthy job market is one of the most important factors contributing to higher life evaluations. Employment rates — the percentage of the working-age population that is employed — were higher in each of the 10 countries with the highest life satisfaction score than the average employment rate for the countries reviewed.健康的就业市场是影响人们对生活评价的一个重要因素。
就业率——受雇人口百分比——这十个生活满意度最高国家的就业率都普遍高于被评估的国家的平均就业率。
Conversely, countries with relatively unhealthy job markets had lower life satisfaction scores. Unemployment rates were above 8.5% in seven of the 10 least happy countries, while they were lower than 7% in all but two of the happiest countries.相反，那些就业市场相对不健康的国家生活满意度更低。
在十大幸福度最低的国家中，有七个国家失业率超过了8.5%，而最具幸福感的国家失业率都低于7%，仅有两国除外。
Healthy labor markets not only help promote job security, but also they can contribute to workers’ mental health. Romina Boarini, head of well-being and progressmeasu rement in the OECD’s statistics division, noted that, “unemployment and fearof job loss are detrimental to [a worker’s] mental health.”健康就业市场不仅能推进工作保障，而且有助于劳动者的心理健康。
经合组织统计司幸福度测量会的会长Romina Boarini,指出失业和对失业的恐惧对一个劳动者的心理健康有害。
Feeling connected to one’s community is another factor in a country’s happiness. Inall but one of the happiest countries, at least 90% of respondents reported having a quality support network that they could rely on in times of need. “People are social creatures and get pleasure from s pending time with others,” Boarini said.是否与社区紧密连接是影响一个国家幸福感的另一要素。
在最具幸福感的国家中，至少90%的受访者都表示在需要的时候有一个可依赖的优质支撑网络，只有一个国家除外。
Boarini说：“人是社交动物，在与他人共度时光中获得乐趣。
”Good personal health, too, can contribute to a person’s happiness. In New Zealand,tied for the seventh happiest country, 90% of people surveyed considered themselvesin good health, the highest proportion of all countries reviewed. Additionally, in allbut one of the happiest countries, more than 70% of respondents said they were in good health, all higher than the 36 country average of 68% of people in countries reviewed.良好的个人健康也有助于提升人的幸福感。
在新西兰这个幸福度第七的国家，90%的受访者都认为他们身体健康，这是在所有被评估的国家里比例最高的。
除此之外，在最具幸福感的国家里，超过70%的受访者认为他们身体健康，这比36个被评估的国家68%的平均水平都高，只有一个国家除外。
In the United States, life satisfaction rebounded after two years of falling in the rankings, largely due to the country’s improving labor market. Despite the recession erasing a majority of wealth in the country, households had an average net worth of $146,000, by far the most among countries reviewed. Boarini warned that U.S. life satisfaction may be misleading, however, as the data are based on a small sample. In previous years, lower life satisfaction in the U.S. was attributed to income inequality. “We do know the more unequally the income is distributed, the lower the life satisfaction.” In fact, the Gini coefficient, a measure of income inequality, has worsened in the U.S. in recent years. The U.S. still has one of the worst Gini coefficients in the OECD.美国的生活满意度在连续两年排名下跌后有了回升，大部分归功于这个国家正在改善的就业市场。
尽管经济衰退使这个国家财富大量缩水，但美国家庭到目前为止还是拥有超过所有被评估的国家的平均$146,000的净资产，Boarini提醒说美国的生活满意度可能会因其数据只参照了小部分样本而被误导。
前几年，收入不平衡使美国生活满意度变低。
“我们知道收入越不平等，生活满意度越低。
”实际上，基尼系数，一个测量收入不平衡的指标，在最近几年的美国有所加剧。
美国仍然是在经合组织中有着最差基尼系数的国家之一。
To determine the happiest countries in the world, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the countries that received the highest life satisfaction scores from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Better Life Index. In addition to the 34 member countries, the OECD included Brazil and Russia. The OECD rated countries on eleven categories: housing, income, jobs, community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, safety, work-life balance, and life satisfaction. We used the life satisfaction index for the ranking. Additionally, we examined unemployment rates for 2013 from the International Monetary Fund.为了选出世界上最幸福的国家，24/7 Wall St.评估了在经合组织幸福生活指数中生活满意度最高的国家。
