记者英文采访过程中的常用句型

□ 王卫明 熊婧婧 沈栋琴 纪佩吉①

随着对外开放的不断深入,中国记者采访外国人的机会越来越多,采访外国人的需要也比以往更为迫切,大多数记者都可能遇到采访外国人的情形,这时,“使用英语这一国际通用语言进行采访”便成为许多新闻记者希望掌握或需要掌握的本领。

但是,目前国内的新闻教育(包括《英语新闻》和《英美报刊选读》课程在内),缺乏对有关英语采访知识的介绍,在网上也难以检索到直接可用的资料。因此,相当多的记者(即使英语口语特别好)在采访外国人过程中颇为尴尬,不知道如何用英文表达某些语句,因此丧失采访良机。经过对真实采访案例的分析及翻译,我们归纳出英文采访过程中的常用句型和语句,供各位记者参考、仿用。

(一)采访初始

电视台的演播室采访或电话连线采访,开始时可以这样说:

1)Good to have you with us,Sir/Ms.

记者采访外国人时,如果觉得用英语对话有难度时,记者可以首先询问被采访者是否懂中文,如果被访者懂中文那采访自然更顺利。记者可以这样说:

1)Can you speak Chinese

2)Can we talk with each other in Chinese

(二)采访新闻诸要素

采访的基本内容包括5个“W”和一个“H”(即 What, When, Why, Where, Who, How)对这几个关键问题,常见的提问句型有:

关于Who,可以这样问:

1)Who is involved in …

例句:Who is involved in it

记者所提的问题往往不只一个,记者必须懂得使用恰当的语句进行话题转换,这方面的常用句型包括:

1)Before I turn to … ,I have one small question regarding …

question, one last question on … .

为了保证采访的顺利进行,记者应该不时发声(以表明自己在听对方回答),或表达自己的意见,与采访对象互动交流,激起被采访对象的兴趣,以猎取更多的信息。这时记者可以说:

1)I got it.

2)Yeah.

3)I think this one will do.

4)So do I.

5)Neither do I.

6)Yes, I doubt it.

7)Yes , I think so.
