第四篇:看懂英文新聞必須要弄懂的60個小詞
英語新聞標(biāo)題總是力求用有限的字?jǐn)?shù)來表達(dá)新聞的內(nèi)容,為此,在措詞上尤其要狠下功夫,選詞盡可能經(jīng)濟(jì)達(dá)意、簡短明了,偏愛選用那些短小精悍或字母最少的動詞。
這是因為短小易懂、形象生動的措詞不僅能增強(qiáng)新聞的簡潔性和可讀性,而且還能節(jié)省版面篇幅。
如表示“破壞”或“損壞”一詞意義的動詞,標(biāo)題一般不用damage,而用一些較之簡短的詞,如hit,harm,hurt, ruin或wreck等。又如表示“放棄”這一概念的動詞,標(biāo)題一般不用abandon,而用drop,give up,quit,skip或yield 等,表示“爆炸”之類的動詞意義時,一般不用 explode,而用blast,crash,ram或smash等詞。
簡而言之,英語新聞標(biāo)題大都喜歡選用字形短小、音節(jié)不多而意義又比較廣泛的詞。
