1.Introduction

A piece of news is composed by three parts: headline，leading and body among which a headline is the epitome and highlight of the content of newspapers and periodicals.

Headlines printed on the papers are the windows of the news and it can let readers know it is worth reading .it is essential for readers to understand headlines to decide which column should be read while which not.

In this paper, features of using vocabulary , tense and voice，omission of words and using of various rhetoric of headlines from English newspapers and periodicals are approached for the purpose of giving a better understanding of the contents of news and improving English learners? reading ability.

2.Types of headlines

2.1 Categories according to their forms.

2.1.1 flush left headline

In a flush left headline, every word takes up one line and begins at the very left. That is the

common form of modern English newspapers. The following example can show you what is a flush left headline.

e.g. IMF

WILL

HAVE

SAY

2.1.2 Banner headline

Every headline word in it is large and bold and the whole headline often covers several columns. It is also called first large headline and often used in front page for its attraction.

e.g. House Passes Bush Plan to Cut Taxes

2.1.3 drop form headline

It looks like a ladder. There are several lines in it and the following line draws back several letters from the above one. Beauty and nice are its merits.

e.g. FBI Agrees to Cease

Its Illegal Surveillance

Of the Research Institute

2.1.4Inverted Pyramid headline

It is also popular for nice looking. It forms a Pyramid-looking headline.

e.g. Factory Walkout

Threat Over

Sacking

2.1.5 Double headline

This kind of headline is used mostly for the report of big events. It has two lines: one is main headline and the other auxiliary headline.

(1)e.g.1 Expect to Go to U.S.

Castro to Free Thousands of Prisoners

(2)e.g.2 It Isn?t the Cow That Are Mad

It?s the People That Are going Mad

2.1.6 Jump head headline

The headline is divided into two parts: original head and jump head. A original part is in one page, but after the body jumps pages, the original head will be changed into a jump head which uses different words from original one to express the same meaning.

e.g. Pentagen Plans

System to Flight

Russia Satellites

(original)

U.S.Plans Weapon

Against Satellites

(jump head)

2.2 Categories according to their meanings

2.2.1 Strait headline

This kind of headline tells us strait about the subjects of news. This is the most common one and is

easy to understand.

(1)e.g.1 Railroad Workers Strike in Argentina.

(2)e.g.2 Man Jailed for Murder

(3)e.g.3 Oil Tanker Fire

2.2.2 Questioning headline

Question marks often be seen in this kind of headlines but most of them do not have meanings of questioning. They often give a clue of possibility or writer?s doubt about the reality of some facts.

(1)e.g. Oil Price to Rise？

(2)e.g. New Cabinet Today？

(3)e.g. Jones Planned to Kill Bush？

(4)e.g. Police Allowed Jail Break？

2.2.3 Feature headline

It is often to use feature headline when a piece of news is unusual or readers will be quite interested in it. Such headlines are not easy to understand，sometimes the whole news should be read.

(1)e.g. Down in the Mouth，News for Dentists.

This report is about a kind of vaccine, which is studied out and will be used for preventing teeth decay.

(2)e.g.、The Man Who Reign over UK?s Queen

Reign means rule over and it is only used for a queen or a king. So the connectio n of “man” and “reign” may get readers confused, then they may be eager to find why. Not until the whole news are read. They find the man is just a captain of a ship named Queen Mary.

2.2.4. Oration headline

This kind of headline can be divided into：

(ⅰ)Use of sayings as headlines

e.g. “We Owe Our Lives to Our Pilot”

(ⅱ)Quote words from interviewers or reporters or other people heard by writers.

(1)e.g. “We Have to Save Our People”

(2)e.g. “We won?t Quit”

(ⅲ)Choose one sentence，some words or one word from the whole news as a headline.

(1)e.g. I Have A Dream

(2)e.g. Mugwump Britain

“Mugwump Britain” criticize Britain is a double－dealer. She at one hand keeps a special relationship with U.S. but at the other hand she claims to be aside with west Europe.

(ⅳ) Some words in a headline with quotation marks are usually not their original meanings.

e.g. Norse Invasion

The headline does not indicate the invasion by north Europe in ancient. It really tells that Norway men go shopping and touring in a large group as invasion. So this so called invasion is not its original meaning.

3.Features of using vocabularies in headlines

Headlines of news tend to use special words which we all know in daily but may get confused when meet them in news.

3.1 Short words are often used.

Editors disgust long words badly which not only take up lines but also seemed ugly. For the sake of nice and balance，editors like short words to generalize news.

e.g. aid－assistance foe －opponent; enemy

bid－attempt nab－capture

pact－agreement wed －marry

probe－investigation rap－accusation, charge

rout－defeat, completely set－ready

“It has been lasting several years to use short words in news headlines. Mncken，an American linguist，said … it is the outstanding characteristic of using very short words in headlines.? in his work …American English?. Similar examples as above are so many in modern English newspapers.”[1] p48

“It is worth saying that single syllables beginning with explode are used more for its shortness and power，such as bid，bust，pop，cut，chop，kill，curb，gut，mug…. Many of the vocabularies in headlines are Anglo－Saxson words which are oral，simple，plain and lively. What?s more, they have been accepted by the public.”[2] p48

“Yet vocabularies of English headlines sometimes tend to short so that they lack of accuracy. That should not be learned. ”[3] p48

3.2 Use of shortenings widely.

In English，there are three kinds of shortenings: acronyms，alphabetisms and clippings，which are widely used in headlines for their shortness and conciseness.

(1)e.g. Auto Chief to Get $219M

(2)e.g. Merger Helps Chrysler CEO

(Auto－automobile company, M－million, CEO－Chief Executive Officer）

3.3 Use of literary quotations，proverbs，wisdoms，idioms.

Terry.L.Fredenkson，in his “Journal English” he said idioms are full of headlines. They are used widely as well as changed their forms very often to give a sense of being humor and alive.

(1)e.g. All Roads to Venice

( Changing form of all roads lead to Rome )

(2)e.g. Farewell to Arms

It tells a bout the communist party?s secretary of soviet union advised US president to destroy nuclear weapons completely. It quotes the name of a famous book ,“A Fare Well to Arms” .

(3)e.g Refugees in Dice Straits

“In dice straits” is an idiom means in a difficul t or dangerous situation.

3.4 Use of neologism and foreign words

This kind of uncommon word can also strikes the eye. Editors know readers are unfamiliar with these words, so they always give explanation in a context. Neologism and foreign words always connected with places and contents that are reported.

(1)e.g.Yen benefits from European funds

Yen is Japanese monitory unit.

(2)e.g. …Beriozka? brings Russian Fork Dance

“Berioaka” is Russian “Beriozka (birch tree)Company”

3.5 New words and wrong spellings

“To give a striking and fresh feeling, editors tend to use new words and wrong spellings.

(1)e.g. The Orangemostest Drink in the World

Orangemostest is made up by orange+most+est, “most” and “est” are both used together to stress the quality of the orange drink.

(2)e.g.We Know Eggsactly How to Sell Eggs

Eggsactly is a similar sound of exactly and relative to eggs. This unique word formation game can doubtlessly catch readers?eyes.”[4] p115

3.6 Imitation

3.6.1 Chang letters

This is the easiest way to imitation by changing letters of a word or some words we are familiar with.

e.g. Man Behaving Dadly

The text introduces an English TV program “Man Behaving Badly ” in which the last screen shows a bad man got a son and become a dad, so the writer replace the badly into dadly.

3.6.2 Add letters

e.g. Gooooooal! But Pity the Guy Between the Posts

Add five “O” and the picture of kicking in is here.

3.6.3Add hyphens

A hyphen can divide a word into two parts, from which new sense appears.

e.g. Cat-astrophic Mistake over Fishy Misery

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/7f11828885.html,ing of rhetoric in headlines.

This kind of headlines use various rhetoric means to attract readers.

4.1 Metaphor

e.g. A House in Two Parts

This is a headline of a report discussing Canadian country system. This report introduce main existing differences in language, law，cultural and concept between English speaking Canada and French speaking Canada. Thereby illustrate the unsteady of Canadian system. “A House in Two Part” is suitable as well as vivid.

4.2 Contrast

e.g. U.S. is Long on Game Shows，Short on Foreign News

This is a press on U.S. TV program. It is distinctly contrast and irony.

4.3 Alliteration and Consonance

(1)e.g. Soldiers Salary Soars

“S” is the beginning letter of every words ，and this is alliterate.

(2)e.g “The Great White Wait??

“In e.g2. “white” indicate snow and letter “T” is the rhyme ending of three words.”[5] p36“Alliteration and rhyme here sounds well and give a special atmosphere to catch readers eyes.”[6] p139

4.4 Puns

Puns are often in irony，humorous headlines. If they are used proper this trend would be stronger.

(1)e.g. “The Sun Sets For the Last Time”

“It tells us an English newspaper in Hong Kong called sun is stop coming out. The …sun? here is a pun.”[7] p111

(2)e.g. “African Statesman Still Sowing Seeds for Future”

“This report is about Julius Nyerere，president of Tansonia，who is sowing seeds happily in his hometown where is far from big cities after retired. But Africa is unsteady thus many international leaders go all the way to learn from him the ways of saving a country. So he is still sowing seeds for the future of Africa. …Sowing seeds? is a pun in this headline.”[8] p349

4.5 Metonymy

When using metonymy, the person or the thing a writer want to write are not shown directly in a headline，but by borrowing other things connected to indicate them indirectly.

(1)e.g. A Royal Pain For the Crown

Here crown is not the real crown but indicate the Queen.

(2)e.g. Uncle Sam?s Island

Uncle Sam is nearly known to all. It is another informal sayings of American government or Americans.

Metonymy can avoid repeating certain words and strengthen the affection，so it is used largely in modern newspaper，even some of metonymies become to be public words, such as White House, Bucking Ham Palace, Downing Street, Motor City, and so on.

4.6 Paradox

(1)e.g.：For Ramadan，Jerusalem is Quiet but Tense

（安静却不平静，斋月期间的耶路撒冷）

(2)e.g. Surgery Without the Surgery?!

（动手术不用刀了?！）

A paradox can make readers think from two－side ways and let them understand news deeply. To understand this kind of headline well we should chew them twice or even more.

5.Tense and voice of headline

Verbs show actions. A piece of news will be reinforced and animous if a verb is used properly. As for our foreign readers, although its merits, it is more difficult to understand. Verbs have their own tenses .So are ones in headlines. But headlines must short and accurate, so the verbs in them have special tense showing methods. English headlines do not use past tense but present tense, thus readers feel they are in the situation and the news is in time, this called Journalistic Present Tense, the same as Historical Present Tense in literature. Above all, headlines often use three kind of tense.

5.1 Use of the simple present tense

(1)e.g. we get up at six

(They usually do as this.)

(2)e.g. She is a nurse

(Present

situation.)

In news, present tense is often used to describe things happened just now, that is to say, it is used to instead of past tense.

English learners should pay attention to this situation, do not consider present tense in headlines as they usually are.

e.g. Comeback Gives China A Sensational Thomas Cap Win

(The Comeback gave China a sensational Thomas Cup Win.)

5.2 Use of the simple future tense

The simple future tense describes things will be happen in the future. The forms of future tense are “will (shall) do”, “be going to do” “be to do”“be about to do” and so on. But in English headlines “be to do” form in which “be” is omitted is used most. So in headlines “to do” forms express writers? prediction of future trends.

(1)e.g. Bands to Gather For Jazz Festival

(Bands are to gather for Jazz Festival.)

(2)e.g. Last Two Iraq Hostages to Go Free

(The last two hostages in Iraq are to Go Free.)

5.3 Use of the present progressive tense

Present Progressive Tense emphasizes certain thing is doing at present time and its result is not known at now. Also “be” is usually omitted for the need of shortness.

(1)e.g. Sino--British Partnership Progressing

(Sino--British Partnership is Progressing)

(2)e.g. Signs of Rifts Appearing in Argentina?s Junta

(The signs of rifts are appearing in Argentina?s Junta.)

5.4 Use of passive voice

When verbs in headlines should use passive voice , the “be” in“be + participle” form and the operator followed “by” are usually omitted. Thus the only left past participle can give a passive meaning directly in headlines, learners must not confused passive voice as past tense.

(1)e.g. Demolition Regulation Welcomed

(Demolition regulation is welcomed.)

(2)e.g. Girl of 18 Raped after Threat with Bread Knife

(A girl of 18 was raped after she is threated with a bread knife.）

(3)e.g. 12 Reported Killed in a Suicide Bomb

(It was reported that 12 person was killed in a suicide bomb.)

“In fact，after learners read more，they will fond active voice is used far more than passive voice. Only when object is emphasize，passive voice is use d. ”[9] p80 Please pay attention to this. Tense and voice of a headline can be concluded in one sentence，present participle can express the progressive meaning, past participle the passive voice，infinitive form the future tense.

(1)e.g. Gun－Safety Education Facing Many Hurdles

(2)e.g. Aircraft Carrier Named After President Reagan

(3)e.g. House To Vote on Ergonomics Rules

As we read these headlines how can we distinguish what kind of tense and voice the present participle，infinite and past participle indicate？Firstly，learners can decide by their knowledge. Secondly leading can be read for further understanding.

It should be noted that other tense at times are used in oration or question headlines.

(1)e.g. I Was Not His Mistress

(2)e.g. We Won?t Quit

(3)e.g. Tones Planned to Kill Bush？

These tenses mainly used to emphasize the time.

6.Omission in Headlines

“Economy and compression are the most important features of headlines.”[10] p108 In order to meet the need of large amount of information in modern society, English newspaper editors at one hand enlarge their volume，adding more information，at the other hand cutting the number of words in one piece of news to save place but contain more information. That is why the function words having no real meanings are all tend to be elected in headlines.

Ways of omission are various:

6.1 Most of the words deleted are function words.

“The deleted words are often articles, link verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliary words and pronouns.”[11]p341

(1)e.g. China Happy For Middle East

（China happy for the middle east.）

(2)e.g. Charles, 32 Seeks Bride

（Prince Charles, who is 32 years old, is looking for someone to marry. ）

(3)e.g.Microsoft，Ericsson Forming Joint Venture

（Microsoft and Ericsson forming joint venture.）

(4)e.g. Alaskan Oil for Japan？

(Will there be alaskan oil for Japan? )

(5)e.g. Irish Group Kills ex－chief

（The Irish group kills its ex－chief.）

Whereas not all of the articles can be omitted.

(1)e.g. West Point Makes a Comeback

“Make a comeback” is an idiom so “a” must be remained.

(2)e.g. How America Sees the World。

In front of “world” there must be a “the”.

(3)e.g. Kill In The Name Of God

“The” should be here for the sake of definit connection.

6.2 Use punctuations to save pages

6.2.1” comma can be in stead of …and? ”[12 ] p140

(1)e.g. Tailand, Malaysia Ink Sea reaty.

（Tailand and Malaysia ink a sea treaty.）

(2)e.g. Woman Kills Husband, Self

（A woman kills her husband and herself.）

6.2.2 Use of colon

“Said” or “say” can b e instead by colons or double quotation marks to give a meaning that someone says something or some conclusions are drawn;

“to be” sometimes is replaced by a colon in headlines.

(1)e.g. Hu :We Should Support Third World Countries

（Hu says that we should support the third world counties.）

(2)e.g. Chinese cooks: masters at turning a turnip into a flower.

（Chinese cooks are masters at turning a turnip into a flower.）

6.2.3 Use of single quotation marks

Single quotation marks can quote someone?s saying; or the words in side of them have a deep or other meanings. Single quotation marks are often instead of double quotation marks for they are shorter.

(1)e.g. Teen Killer Was Angry Young Man.

(2)e.g. China Demands U.S. Stop …Interfering? on Human Rights

(3)e.g. Bush Unveils A …Can Do? Budget.

6.3 To save pages，abbreviations and acronyms are used.

6.3.1.Abbreviations

The abbreviations often read in headlines are like follows :

Afr.－Africa app.－appendix

Amt.－amount appox.－approximately

6.3.2.Acronyms

“Ac ronyms are the words formed from the initial letters of a group of words. They can save space and beautify the headlines in picturesque disorder.”[13] p27

Acronyms can be divided into three types:

(ⅰ)Names of agents or organizations such as CPPCC（The Chi nese people?s political consultative conference）and PLO ，WTO…

(ⅱ) Names of something that we use very often such as AIDS，UFO, PC…

(ⅲ)Nouns for careers，positions or credits like PM (prime minister), MP(member of parliament), GM(general manager), PA(personal assistant).

6.4 Using nouns，participles and short adjective to embellish words to replace long adjective or clauses.

(1)e.g. Poison Gas Fear Haunts City

（A fear of poison gas is haunting the people in a certain city.）

(2)e.g. 3 Held Over College Horror Crash

（3 people are being detained by the police concerning a horrifying crash at a college.）

6.5 Use of numbers but without of the following nouns.

(1)e.g. 41 Die as School Collapses

（41 students die as school collapses）

(2)e.g. Muller charged in fondling of boy，14

( Muller was charged in fondling of a boy of 14 years old.)

7.Conclusion

Above all, in a fast changing world, news media is the best channel of knowing every field including politics, economics, science, culture, and society. To read English news is the best way to get in touch with modern English and understanding headlines well can help readers comprehend the whole news and thus read news efficiently. Though it benefits you a lot, to understand headlines is not such as easy as ABC. If you are really eager to know well of headlines, the history and cultures of English countries, the works of English writers?, the English idioms and wisdoms that all these kinds of knowledge should be mastered. This needs you work hard and persevere.

新闻标题的特点和结构

新闻标题的特点和结构（一）新闻标题的特点一、新闻标题以报告事实为主。新闻标题与通讯标题的最大区别在于是否标出新闻事实。新闻主要是报告新近发生的有意义的事实，简洁明快，一般对事物发展过程不作详述。这就决定新闻标题重在叙事，即使是就实论虚的标题，对必要的事实也应有所说明。二、新闻标题对事实的表述呈现一种动态。标题不仅要报告新闻事实，而且对事实的表述要体现出一定的动态，即告诉读者事情的发生与发展。通讯标题则不一定如此。通讯标题对事实的表达多数呈现的是一种静态。三、新闻标题形式具有多样性。新闻标题除单一式结构之外，还大量采用复合式结构。新闻标题往往是通过主题、引题、副题的配合，向读者报告新闻的内容，指明其性质和意义的。通讯则一般不使用引题，在副题运用上多数只用来说明作者写作本文的对象、意图以及采写的方式。（二）新闻标题的结构新闻标题按其结构来分，有单一式和复合式两种。单一式标题只有主题而无辅题，主题可以是一行题或两行题（又称双主题）。复合式题有主题和辅题，辅题包括引题和副题。引题又名肩题、眉题、上辅题；副题又名子题、下辅题。在复合式标题中，可以同时具有引题和副题，也可以是只有其中的一种。（三）主题、辅题、引题、副题的含义主题是中心。从内容来说，主题说明新闻中最重要的事实和思想，是标题中最主要的部分。从结构来说，主题是标题中最主要的部分，是标题的枢纽，引题和副题都是直接与主题发生关系的。引题是位于主题之前的辅题，主要作用是引出主题。引题文字宜简洁，最好不要超过一行，否则，喧宾夺主，不利于主题的突出。副题位于主题之后，主题不能完全包括或表述的重要内容，往往由副题来承担。副题主要起补充和解释主题的作用。辅题包括引题和副题。引题又名肩题、眉题、上辅题；副题又名子题、下辅题。在复合式标题中，可以同时具有引题和副题，也可以是只有其中的一种。（四）主题与辅题的关系主题是中心。从内容来说，主题说明新闻中最重要的事实和思想，是标题中最主要的部分。从结构来说，主题是标题中最主要的部分，是标题的枢纽，引题和副题都是直接与主题发生关系的。引题引出主题，可以有多种方式。最常见的是，通过交代和说明相关的背景、意义、目的、原因、结果以及具体事实等引出主题。副题对主题起补充和解释的作用。分两类：第一类是主题不写事实，只提出一个论断或疑问，标题要提示的新闻事实，全部写在副题中。第二类是主题已经承担部分叙事任务，副题则补充交代其他事实。（无）安排标题结构应注意的问题一。必须正确体现辅题与主题之间的逻辑关系。主辅题之间存在在着一定的逻辑关系，如因果关系，目的与手段的关系等。制作标题时要注意把这种逻辑关系正确清楚地表现出来。二。主题的分行要自然，便于阅读。

英语新闻标题翻译技巧简析

在国际新闻报道中，英语新闻翻译占了相当大的比重。在英语新闻中，“标题被视作报道全文的缩写”，为了尽量吸引读者，编辑往往运用各种修辞手段，力争使新闻标题更具吸引力。这为英语新闻翻译带来挑战。翻译者需调动各种翻译手段，力争把原标题的意义和风格以汉语形式再现出来。为此，翻译时应兼顾三个方面：准确理解标题意义，尤其是要透过字面理解其深层意义；在不曲解原意的情况下发挥汉语特点，以增强译文可读性；在文化背景缺失的情况下，注意译文的可接受性。一、直译或基本直译新闻标题直译和意译孰是孰非在我国译界争论不休，迄今未有定论。笔者以为，两种译法各有长短，翻译中需视实际情况而定，扬长避短。但无论直译还是意译，都应把忠实于原文内容放在首位。就英语新闻标题翻译而言，笔者以为，如果英语标题的含义明白，译成汉语以后中国读者不至于产生理解上的困难，可考虑采用直译或基本直译。比如： Putin faces harsh press criticism over terror 普京因恐怖事件受媒体严厉批评 Olympics Begin in Style; Swimmer Takes 1st Gold 奥运盛妆开幕泳将喜夺首金 UK soldest person dies at 115 英国第一寿星谢世，享天年百岁又十五以上三则新闻标题属于直译或基本直译，没有洋腔洋调，显得很自然流畅。又如：Ugly Duckling N-Shipat Last GetsHappy Home 丑小鸭核动力船终于找到安乐窝这则新闻讲述的是某国一艘核动力船，因许多国家担心核污染而拒绝让其靠岸，所以只得在海上到处漂泊，历经周折之后最终被获准在一港口停泊。原标题中以调侃的语气将这艘核动力船比喻成安徒生笔下的“an ugly duckling”（丑小鸭），这也是广大中国读者早已熟悉的典故，故译文采用了“拿来主义”的直译手法，读者一看也就明白怎么回事了。二、翻译中添加注释性词语英语报刊的新闻标题往往迎合本国读者的阅读需要，而且由于思维习惯与中国人不同，英语新闻标题的表达方式也与中文有所不同。因此，翻译过程中必须充分考虑到“内外有别”的原则和我国读者的阅读心理，对国人可能不太熟悉的有关信息、文化背景知识以及不符合国内读者阅读习惯的表达方式进行必要的变通，该删则删，该增则增。正如刘宓庆先生在《文体与翻译》中说的：“即使是明白、易懂的新闻标题，我们在汉译时也常需加上逻辑主语，或电讯中有关的人的国籍、事件发生的地点等等，总之必须增补介绍性、注释性词语以利中国读者的理解，避免读者产生误会。”例如： For Beslans children, alegacy of nightmares （俄罗斯：）劫后相逢，别城孩童仍似恶梦中

新闻英语标题翻译语态

新闻英语标题翻译:语态英语新闻标题中的动词表示被动语态时，被动语态结构“be+过去分词”形式中的助动词“be”，通常被省略，也经常不用“by”来引出动作的执行者，剩下的过去分词在标题里就可直接表示被动意义，读者切忌将之误解为该动词的过去式。如： Girl Of 18 Raped After Threat With Bread Knife. (A Girl Of 18 Raped After Threat With A Bread Knife.) 餐刀威逼下，18岁少女遭强暴。 Van Goghs Recovered After Theft. (Van Goghs Are Recovered After The Theft.) 梵高名画窃而复得。 Father Jailed For Murder Of Daughter. (Father Is Jailed For The Murder Of His Daughter.) 谋杀亲生女儿父亲锒铛入狱。其实，读者在广泛接触英语报刊时会发现，新闻标题使用动词主动语态的频率远远超过被动语态。因为从修辞学角度而言，主动语态比被动语态更加生动多彩且富有感染力，所表达的意义更为直接，或更具有说服力，使读者感到真实可信，读来朗朗上口，流利自然。英语新闻标题只有在事件或动作的接受者比执行者更重要时才使用被动语态，突出强调宾语部分，以引起读者注意。这是因为读者读报时的心理状态同看书或查阅资料时的情况不尽相同。人们往往是在就餐时或上班途中、候车、饭后用茶等较空闲时看报的，阅读时思想往往不是完全集中的。只有当他们看到一条特别能引起他们兴趣的标题时，才会把注意力全部集中起来，全神贯注的看下去。因此,英语新闻标题有时为突出动作的承受者通常采用被动语态，目的在于抓住读者的注意力。

新闻英语标题翻译欣赏及汉译

新闻英语标题翻译:欣赏及汉译我们在阅读英语报刊时，不仅要学会看借新闻标题，而且最好还能善于欣赏并翻译新闻标题，惟有如此，我们才能较正确地理解英语新闻标题的词汇、语法及修辞等特点，判断出标题的寓意。欣赏或翻译英语新闻标题时应该兼顾三个方面：准确理解标题，领悟其妙处；适当照顾译文特点，增强可读性；重视读者的接受能力。欣赏或翻译英语新闻标题，对于不太熟悉英语国家历史、文化背景的读者来说，有时并不是很容易的。许多妙不可言的精彩之处，一疏忽就可能从眼皮底下滑过去。因此，这就要求我们平时注意积累，不断熟悉英语国家的历史掌故、文艺作品以及英语的修辞手段等等。一旦真的领会并译出了英语标题中作者苦心营造的深奥内涵，那份喜悦不亚于数学家攻克一道难题。一、直译或基本直译如果英语标题的含义明白、直接，译成汉语以后中国读者不至于产生理解上的困难，则可直译或基本直译。如： Looking Back To Look Ahead. 回首往昔展望未来。 America's Careening Foreign Policy. 摇摆不定的美国对外政策。 Bill Clinton Assumes Office In White House As Us President. 比尔，克林顿入主白宫，就任美国总统。（或译：克林顿入主白宫，新总统始掌大权。） Olympics Begin In Style; Swimmer Takes 1st Gold. 奥运会隆重开幕泳将夺首枚金牌。

二、添加注释性词语即使是明白易懂的新闻标题，我们在汉译时也常需酌情加上逻辑主语，或新闻人物的国籍、消息的事发地点等等。总之，应兼顾中英语新闻标题之异同，适当增补有关介绍性、注释性词语以利读者理解，避免产生误会。例如： Li Elected Cppcc Head. 李（瑞环）当选为全国政协主席。 Lewis, Xie Voted World's Top Two. 路（易斯）谢（军）当选世界最佳男女（运动员）。 Emperor's Visit A Milestone In Bilateral Ties. 天皇访华：（中日）双边关系的里程碑。 Quake Death Toll Tops 5000. （日本限神地区）地震死亡人数己逾五千。 Young Wheelers, Big Dealers. 青年摩托车手成了（保险公司）大主顾。三、体现原文修辞特点如果英语标题寓意于某种修辞手段，如双关、比喻、押韵等，译成汉语以后中国读者不至于产生理解上的困难，则应尽可能体现原标题的修辞特色。如：押韵：After The Boom Everything Is Gloom.

网络新闻标题的特点及制作技巧

北仑新闻网学习材料一网络新闻标题的特点及制作技巧新闻界有句行话：“标题是新闻的眼睛”，在高度信息化的今日社会，正极大地改变着人们接受新闻信息的阅听方式，“看新闻看题”“5秒效应”的提法都印证了新闻标题日益突出的作用。一个好的网络新闻标题，应该力争在开头就能够一下抓住读者，进而引导他完成整个阅读过程。”因此，我们可以毫不夸张地说:网络新闻的竞争，很大程度上取决于网络新闻标题的竞争。一、单行化：单一型标题为主这不同于报纸的标题多用多层标题，有主题、引题、副题等多种标题形式互相配合使用。网络新闻标题往往是单行的，最多字数也会有所限制，一般要求在最短的文字内，既要高度浓缩消息的主要内容，提供尽可能多的信息，又要具有较强的艺术感染力和吸引力。一般而言，网络新闻标题字数以10到20个字数为宜，上下句最好能以空白或标点分开，并控制在7到10个字组成一段文字，如：”五粮液调查未了生诉讼基金胜诉概率低”。制作网络新闻标题时，在传统媒体中的的肩标题与副标题都要融于网络新闻的单行标题中，做到最大化的吸引网民。这对编辑的概括、归纳能力提出了更高的要求。例如：中国煤炭报的一篇新闻，主标题：”风雨之中不言弃，同甘共苦渡难关”，副标题：”矿嫂朱群照顾患病丈夫的故事”，这篇新闻如被网站转载，就必须对标题进行修改，按照网络新闻标题的特点，可以改为单行标题：”矿嫂朱群历经风雨照顾患病丈夫5年”。二、实题化：网络新闻标题以实题为主网络新闻标题一定要抓住受众心理,选好角度,突出新闻事实中的几个新闻要素，通过恰当组合，捉住“新闻眼”，来吸引受众点击。新闻要素：它们概括为“6W”，即：谁（Who）、何时（When）、何地（Where）、何事（What）为何（Why）、结果如何（How），换一种说法就是人物、时间、地点、经过、原因、结果。如果把这六要素串起来，概括成一句话，就是：某人某时在某地做了某事出现了某种结果。这就决定了网络新闻标题往往是一个完整的句子，或者是主谓结构，或者是主谓宾结构。如：新华网2011年2月15日新闻标题：统计局公布1月国民经济主要数据CPI同比涨4.9% 刘小华被任命为广东湛江市委书记人社部驳"我国行业工资差距全球第一"说法重庆黄昌华等18人涉黑案开审7年内致人1死4伤罗志军任江苏省人大主任李学勇当选江苏省省长华媒关注中央反腐新信号：肃纪换届遏涉外腐败标题要有吸引力，必须在6个要素中寻找一个突破口。到底选取哪一个或哪几个要素需要斟酌，要用最简洁的文字将新闻中最有价值、最生动的内容展示给读者。美国报业大王赫斯特曾经说过，“千万记住，如果你的第一句话不能打动读者，也就没有必要写第二句了。” 网络新闻标题制作中，省略句也是经常使用的，尤其是量词、介词、连词、谓语中心词等，甚至是主语、谓语、宾语被省略的情况也时有发生。例如：生活成本最低10大城市（此为放到首页的标题，点进去之后的标题为：全球生活成本最低的10大城市），这个标题省略了谓语与宾语，按正常语法应该是：xxx等10大城市是生活成本最低的城市。

新闻标题的翻译

随着全球化的发展，中国与世界在政治、经济、文化等各方面的交流日益增多，越来越多的人去关注国际信息。新闻媒体的发展给予我们渠道去关注国际新闻，而英语新闻报道的翻译让我们能更好地掌握国际信息。新闻标题是新闻的重要部分，做好新闻标题的翻译就极为重要。本文介绍了英语新闻标题的一些基本信息，如新闻标题的定义、功能等。同时结合实例，详细分析英语新闻标题在词汇、语法及修辞手法等层面的特点。最后根据英语新闻标题在不同层面的特点提出一些英语新闻标题翻译的原则以及在实际翻译过程中的翻译技巧及方法。 1.中英文新闻标题的总论在信息化时代，新闻是人们生活不可缺少的一部分，新闻标题是新闻内容的高度浓缩，也是吸引读者视线的关键所在，在国际报道中，新闻占了相当大的鼻中隔，而英语新闻更是重中之重，标题被当做英语新闻报道全文的精炼概括，为了吸引读者关注，往往采用各种手法来提升新闻标题的吸引力。同时给新闻标题的翻译带来不少挑战。 1.1标题的定义新闻标题是新闻的眼睛, 也是新闻的重要组成部分。新闻标题是新闻文本对新闻内容加以概括或评价的简短文字。其字号大于正文，作用是划分、组织、揭示、评价新闻内容、吸引读者阅读。按不同的分类标准可以分不同的种类 1.2.中英文标题对比 1.2.1.共同之处 a).它们都是新闻的重要组成部分，是对全部新闻内容的浓缩和提炼，使读者能在短时间内选择新闻，阅读新闻和理解新闻。 b).新闻报道讲究客观公正，但是新闻标题具有明显的政治倾向，媒体编辑往往利用制作标题的机会借题发挥，在概括或浓缩新闻内容的同时，巧妙的融入自己的政治倾向，借以体现媒体的政治方针，宣传自己的政治主张，便于引导舆论。 c).中英文标题在写作方面，都十分的精炼，含义深邃。 1.2.2.差异之处 a).英语新闻相对较长，占字空间较大，所以标题必须十分简单。但中文相对含义比较丰富。

新闻标题特点

修辞五彩缤纷提起修辞，人们一般会认为只在文学作品中运用，其实不然，为了吸引读者，增强新闻标题的美感，可以适当地采用某些修辞手法。需要说明的是，不管采用哪种修辞手法，首先必须准确、规范概括新闻的内容或主旨，在此基础之上运用适当的修辞手法，才可以使文章具有吸引力。下面介绍几种新闻标题常用的修辞手法：比喻。采用比喻的修辞手法，可以使抽象的事物形象化，复杂的事物简单化。对于新闻标题来讲，其直接作用就是可以让读者很好把握新闻的内容和主旨，激发阅读热情。如《人民日报》（2008-5-8）发表了一篇新闻报道，标题是： 5月7日，7500吨海上全回转自航浮吊在上海建成起吊，创下单吊起重世界之最（引题） “蓝鲸”是怎样炼成的（正题）标题中将我国自主研发制造的500吨海上全回转自航浮吊，形象地比喻为庞大无比的蓝鲸，既恰到好处，又流露出抑制不住的自豪感，使阅读者有一种发自内心的愉悦感。对偶。新闻标题中所运用的对偶，就是将两组能够概括新闻内容或主旨的两组文字，并列排列起来，这两组文字具有字数相同，意思又相互关联，结构一致，音节协调的特点，阅读起来节奏明快，朗朗上口。其作用是可以给人以美感，激发阅读欲望。如在《人民日报》（2008-5-18）上发表的一篇新闻报道的标题为：一方有难八方支援（主题）全国各地积极捐款捐物救助四川灾区（副题）主标题中运用了一组对偶句，排列整齐，发音协调，前句是起因，后句是结果，很好地表达了全国人民在党的领导下，全民一心，抗震救灾的决心。读后给人以振奋的力量。又如，《人民日报》（2008-5-17）报道有关北川被困灾民“亲人生死相依，朋友相互鼓励，路人挽起手臂”的事迹时，用了《不放弃〓不抛弃》这样的标题，其中体现出他们对生的渴望、对亲人的依恋、对朋友的关怀。此题目短短几个字，却可以产生使心灵震颤的力量。需要强调的是，在运用对偶修辞时，第一，选用的句子要与新闻内容具有内在的联系，不可勉强。第二，句子结构要一致或相当，不要生拼硬凑。如果那样的话，反而会弄巧成拙。拟人。在新闻报道的标题制作中，有时为了增加文字的感染力，往往将写作对象比拟为有生命的人。这样制作的新闻标题，可以使阅读者有切身的体会，引导读者去了解、关心新闻的内容。如在《人民日报》（2010-2-23）上发表的一篇新闻报道的标题是： 60年一遇严重旱情继续（引题）

新闻标题的特点和作用

新闻标题的特点和作用新闻评论标题的创新就是要求其特殊、要求其独特。让读者一看，使眼睛为之一亮，心灵为之一振，拍案叫绝。任何一篇文章,都需要有一个好的标题。对于评论来说，更是这样。之所以有如此要求，是因为评论题目具有特殊的作用。有人说：“标题是评论的眼睛。”这是一种“文学语言”。那意思无非是说，眼睛是传神的，评论的标题应该把评论的精神表达出来；或者是说眼睛能够把人勾住，评论的题目应该一眼就能把读者吸引过来，使他非把文章读下去不可。如果是广播评论，要能吸引听众，使人非听下去不可。正如汤姆森编著的《新闻写作基础知识》一书中写道：“你可以把马牵到水边，但你无法强迫它饮水。当你把你的报纸送到读者手中的时候，你会遇到类似的问题，无法强迫他阅读，不过有一个办法可以使他阅读你的报道，那就是运用精采的标题。” ①在当今，报刊、广播电视频道的数量相对于过去已翻了好几番了。而且报刊已进入厚报时代，甚至有的报纸一天就出百版；广播、电视大多数已是全天候播出，这一切在过去是难以想象的。可以说，信息爆炸时代已经来临。加上社会生活的节奏大大加快，人们已无过多的时间去关注它，可以说，就连看完报纸几个版面的时间也没有。那么，新闻评论标题的创新就显得尤为重要。那新闻评论标题如何创新呢？这就涉及一个标题创新艺术的问题。一、评论标题的生动性一讲到生动，人们会立刻想到小说、散文、诗歌等，似乎与新闻评论无缘。其实生动和新闻评论早已是水乳交融，尤其在西方新闻评论作品中为一大特色。生动的标题能使新闻评论鲜活起来，才能收到好的阅读效果。农民怕政策变化而不敢下力长远致富，对当前农村的一大思想障碍的评论，标题可以想出很多。如《致富要有长远打算》、《兼顾当前和长远》、《当前和长远》、《农民致富中值得注意的一个问题》等等，这些标题都可以据以成篇，但未免会给人千篇一律的感觉。作者却干脆把群众的语言直接用作定题：《致富不能“鸡啄米”》，这样既直截了当，鲜明地表达了作者的观点，从语言来说又比较形象生动，使听众听了以后不易忘却。同样的标题还有：《为分数“拧水分”好》（《光明日报》2005年06月10日）、《为健康“颁奖”》（载《人民日报》2004年8月5日第一版）、《当不上附马不能不取妻》（江苏如皋县人民广播站1986年7月15日播出）、《莫把“衙门”抬下乡》（湖南益阳县广播站1986年2月10日播出）等等，这些生动的标题，能使新闻评论鲜活、醒目、形象，从而产生吸引读者的魅力。二、评论标题的幽默性幽默是智慧的象征，才华的体现，它以特有的诙谐和意境，让人们在会心的微笑中领悟到生活的哲理。老舍先生说：“幽默地去奇袭侧击，使人先笑几声，然而一琢磨脸就红起来，这要比正颜厉色地教训人效果好得多。” ②“讽刺家的心是冷的，而幽默者的心是热的，在心态上没有讽刺家那么厉害”。③具有幽默效果的新闻评论标题，不仅给读者以精神上的愉悦和满足，而且能够激发读者对新闻评论内容的兴趣。要把评论写好，讲究语言文字的幽默性是高招之一，其中制作富有幽默性的标题，就会一下子抓住读者和听众。试举一例：《人民日报》2004年4月210日“今日谈”的标题为《喜人的“不习惯”》。这篇评论据以“前两天在北京火车站乘火车，登车后总感觉什么地方和过去不同。原来是站台加高和车底持平，上车如履平地了。习惯了踩着梯子上下车，对这方便之举一时倒有些不自然。”作者抓住了事件的性质——可喜的，借用自己的感受——“不习惯”来概括这一使人上下车方便的变化。事情本身没有逻辑矛盾，经过作者的艺术加工，逻辑矛盾就出来了，幽默感也出来了，于是人们才有读下去的欲望。如果标题为《可喜的变化》，这一标题是准确地反应了事情的原委，但太笼统，让人一看就是喜鹊评论，而这种性质的新闻在中国铺天盖地，根本没法吸引读者的眼球。再如：《“猪八戒”不该成为荧屏“香饽饽”》（《经济参考报》2005年08月22日）、《这样的“抠门”值得称赞》（《人民日报》2005年08月10日第一版）、《楼市:中央政府不是"千手观音"咋办》（《中国青年报》2005年07月07日）、《企业要有“野性”》（《文汇报》2005年08月19日）、《造林还是“造字”》（湖北十堰电视台2002年11月15日首播）、《乡镇企业不是属猪的》（甘肃人民广播电台1985年12月14日播出）、《既要打锣，就不要怕响》（江苏省阜宁县广播站1983年6月25日播出）

新闻英语标题翻译省略

新闻英语标题翻译:省略有的读者读英语报刊，心中无数，东翻翻，西看看，总想挑容易的文章读。一篇文章刚看了个头，一碰到生词，马上换一篇。如此这般，换了六、七篇，还没确定读哪篇。那么，应该怎么读？首先要有准备地阅读，如先大致了解一下某报各版的主要内容，然后按照自己的兴趣或事先拟订的阅读计划，选定一个版面，有选择地阅读。如果碰到生词，也要坚定地读下去。要知道，对于初、中等英语水平的读者，英语报刊文章很少会不出现生词。其次要有步骤地阅读。一般应先读标题，但由于标题（headline）短而精，不太好懂，不少读者常常绕开它。这是不明智的。一份英文报纸少则10至20版，多则数百版。读者一般时间有限，谁都不可能像读课文或看小说那样从头至尾一字不漏地通读一遍。我们拿起一份报纸总想迅速找到当天的报道重点或个人感兴趣的新闻和文章。怎样寻找呢？这就需要找个“向导”作介绍。显然，新闻标题就是十分理想的“向导”。这是因为标题是新闻内容的集中和概括，它用简练的文字浓缩了新闻中最主要或最值得注意的内容。英语新闻标题的措词、语法、修辞乃至标点符号等方面的特点较为突出，现一一予以简述。省略标题是新闻不可分割的组成部分。阅读英语报纸的新闻标题是我们学习阅读英语报刊的第一步。这么说绝无夸张之意，从语法角度来看，英语新闻标题有其一套独特的语法体系，与人们平时常见的英语句子语法有所不同，新闻英语学者称之为“标题语言”（headlines）。其中，标题中虚词的省略就是它的重要特点之一。一般而言，标题中虚词省略现象主要表现在以下几个方面： 1、冠词基本省略。例如：Tenth Of British Mackerel Catch Ground Into Feed. (A Tenth Of The British Mackeel Catch Ground Into Feed.) 英国捕获鳍鱼一成碾为饲料。

英语新闻标题特点

英语新闻标题的特点英语新闻标题总是力求用有限的字数来表达新闻的内容，为此，在措词上尤其要狠下功夫，选词尽可能经济达意、简短明了，偏爱选用那些短小精悍或字母最少的动词。这是因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强新闻的简洁性和可读性，而且还能节省版面篇幅。如表示“破坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词，标题一般不用 damage，而用一些较之简短的词，如hit，harm，hurt, ruin 或wreck等。又如表示“放弃”这一概念的动词，标题一般不用abandon，而用drop，give up，quit，skip或yield 等，表示“爆炸”之类的动词意义时，一般不用 explode，而用blast，crash，ram或smash等词。简而言之，英语新闻标题大都喜欢选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比较广泛的词。这类动词在标题中屡见不鲜，读者平时阅读时不妨多加留意，这对于提高英语水平，尤其是熟悉英语同义动词，无疑是大有稗益的。为便于读者更好地理解英语新闻标题，现再列举一些常见诸报端的标题小词，以备不时之需： aid=assist（帮助，援助） alter=change or modify（改变） ask=inquire（询问） assail=denounce（谴责） axe=dismiss\reduce（解雇，减少） balk=impede（阻碍） ban=prohibit or forbid（禁止） bar=prevent（防止，阻止） bare=expose or reveal（暴露，揭露） blast=explode（爆炸） begin=commence（开始） bid=attempt（努力） bilk=cheat（欺骗） bolt=desert or abandon（放弃） boost=increase（增加，提高） check=examine（检查） claim=ause the death of…（夺去……的生命）clash=disagree strong1y（发生分歧，争议）curb=control or restrict（控制） dip=decIlne or decrease（下降） ease=lessen（减轻，缓和） end=terminate（结束，中止） flay=criticize（批评） flout=insult（侮辱） foil=prevent from（阻止，防止） grill = investigate（调查） gut=destroy（摧毁） head=direct（率领） hold=arrest（逮捕） laud=praise（赞扬） lop=diminish（下降，减少）map=work out（制订） mark=celebrate（庆祝） name=appoint\nominate（命名，提名）moot=discuss（讨论） mull=consider（考虑） nab=arrest（逮捕） nip=defeat（击败） nix=deny\disapprove（否决，拒绝）opt=choose（选择） oust=expel（驱逐） peril=endanger（危害，危及） pledge=determine（发誓） plot=conspire（预谋，密谋策划）plunge=plummet（价格等）暴跌 poise=ready for action（作好准备）probe=investigate（调查） raid =attack（进攻） rap =criticize（批评） rebuke=criticize（批评） rout=defeat completely（击溃，打垮）slay=murder（谋杀） soar=skyrocket（急剧上升） spur=encourage（激励，鞭策） swap=exchange（交流，交换） sway=influence（影响） trim=reduce（削减） vie=compete（竞争） vow=determine（决心，发誓） weigh=consider（考虑） woo=seek to win（争取，追求）标题除偏爱使用短小动词外，还常常选用简短、字母数少的名词或名词词组。如accord与
