為了提高學生英語新聞閱讀能力，筆者在前期對英語新聞的用詞特點，包括短詞、首字母縮略詞、簡縮詞以及復合詞的使用方法進行介紹的基礎(chǔ)上，本文以兩會為例，就英語新聞的標題特點進行簡要的分析，希望有助于提升同學們英語新聞閱讀的能力。
一般現(xiàn)在時的使用。The present simple tense is widely used to describe something happening in the past as well as in the present. 英語新聞標題中一般現(xiàn)在時的使用能夠讓讀者感受到新聞的“及時性”。 Chinese leaders attend deliberations at annual legislative session; China amends legislation law; Non-Communist parties contribute to major tasks.
分詞的使用。The present participial phrase is used to replace the present progressive tense; in the passive voice, the auxiliary verb is left out and only the past participle is used. 現(xiàn)在分詞的使用表示正在進行的動作; 過去分詞的使用表示被動語態(tài)。英語新聞標題中現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的使用其實是省略了be動詞。Law-based govt advanced, social governance innovated over past 5 years: report; China's legislature urged to safeguard national sovereignty, interests; Authority, sanctity of Constitution upheld in NPC work.
動詞不定式的使用。The future tense is expressed with the infinitive “to do” instead of will, shall, etc. 英語新聞標題中用動詞不定式表示將來時。China to further protect personal information, fight cyber crimes;Chinese courts to better serve higher-level opening up;China to improve elderly-care work mechanism.
逗號和冒號的使用。Commas are used to substitute the coordinating conjunction “and”; colons are used to replace the verb “be” or other verbs like “say”.在英語新聞標題中逗號表示and, 冒號表示be 或say. China's national legislators start to elect Chinese president, other State leaders; Li Shangfu, Liu Zhenli, Miao Hua, Zhang Shengmin nominated candidates for members of PRC Central Military Commission; Li: China committed to opening-up.
閱讀英語新聞不僅能夠幫助同學們復習、鞏固課內(nèi)所學的詞匯和表達方式，同時作為當代大學生，閱讀英語新聞也能夠使我們拓展視野，“與時俱進”，希望同學們養(yǎng)成閱讀的好習慣。 |
