3、读者的注意力。例如“500 Reported Killed in SKorean Building Collapse”远比“Collapse Claims 500 Lives in SKorea”更为吸引人。两条标题都起到了提示与浓缩韩国某百货大楼倒塌致使五百人丧生这一新闻内容的作用，其中死亡人数是一个非常重要的内容。前句虽为被动语态，却以数词开始，突出了这个重要内容，使它非常醒目。,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
4、式。,Girl of 18 Raped After Threat with Bread Knife（A Girl of 18 Is 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
5、入狱,新闻标题中的将来时态通常用不定式来表示,Japan to free China boat captain China to bring back trawler captain by chartered flight: FM spokesperson Japan to Release Chinese Boat Captain,现在分词表示正在进行的动作或事件。 对于正在进行或正在发生事情，事态，英文标题也用进行时表示，但通常省去助动词“be”，直接用现在分词表示。,例如： Chinese villages now implementing democracy reforms Deposi
6、ts, Loans Rising in Shanghai,标点符号,英语新闻标题一贯注重结构精练，并不使用所有的标点符号。即便使用某个标点符号，其主要目的不外乎两种，一是区分表示各句子成分意群之间的关系；二是旨在进一步节省标题字数。,逗号（comma）常被用来代替连词“and”,Chinese premier, U.S. president pledge to deepen bilateral ties （ Chinese premier and U.S. president pledge to deepen bilateral ties ） 中国总理和美国总统承诺深化双边关系 Guangzh
7、ou Fair Closes, Trade Booms（= The Guangzhou Fair Closed and the Trade Booms） 广交会闭幕 交易兴旺,冒号(colon)除了用在引语之前表示“说”外，还经常被用来代替联系动词“be”,Yeltsin：Muslim Nations Call for End to Tension in Bosnia Hergezervena）（ Yeltsin Says That Muslim Nations Call for an End to the Tension in Bosnia Hergezervena ） 叶利钦说：穆斯林国家

10、面篇幅。,如表示“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。 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。,Guangdong Gets Good Harvest（= Guangdong Reaps a Good Harvest ） 广东喜获大丰收
11、 US House Votes to Back Yeltsin（The US House Votes to Support Yeltsin ） 美国国会投票支持叶利钦,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 aid = assistance( 帮助) body = committee/commission( 机构, 委员会) ban = prohibit/forbid( 禁止) end = terminate( 结束, 中止) nod = approval ( 批准, 同意) poll = election poll/public opinion poll (

13、省版面标题词数，又能更好地提示新闻内容，使人读来颇感简洁易记，还可使版面编排减少沉闷之感。,CPPCC Head Meets Returned Overseas Students in Beijing （CPPCC=The Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference：中国人民政治协商会议）全国政协主席在京接见归国留学生。,联合国教科文组织：UNESCO =United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization 世界贸易组织：WTO=World Trade Orga
14、nization 欧盟：EU=European Union 亚太经合组织：APEC=The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 北大西洋公约组织：NATO=North Atlantic Treaty Organization 国际货币基金组织：IMF=International Monetary Fund,常见缩略词,节缩词(Abbreviation),节缩词，亦称简缩词，通过“截头去尾”的方法将一些常用的名词、形容词等截短或缩短，其宗旨同样是为了节省标题字数。如graduate（毕业生）-grad；hospital（医院）-hosp；billion（十亿）-b

17、on inflation 滞胀 fruice=fruit+juice 果汁 braunch=breakfast+launch 早午餐 Reagonomics=Reagons economics 里根经济政策,英语新闻标题的翻译,直译或基本直译(literal translation) 如果英语新闻标题的含义很明白清楚,英语的表达方 式与汉语完全或基本相同,直接翻译成汉语后中国读者不至于产生理解上的困难时,可以采用直译或基本直译。但直译不能影响准确达意,不能破坏标题的风格。例如: Looking Back To Ahead 回首往昔展望未来(直译) Spirit Valentine s Day
18、Can Last All Year 一年四季情人节(基本直译) Putin Faces Harsh Press Criticism Over Terror 普京因恐怖事件受媒体严厉批评(直译),意译 (free translation) 如果原英语新闻标题采用直译的方法不能准确概括新闻的内容,或不能如实体现作者意图,或者不合汉语的表达习惯时,可根据情况适当采用意译,例如: Some Kids Are Orchids :kid兰花 血案的反思(意译,点明文章的内容) Believing The Believers 人类的信仰(意译,指明作者的意图),采用翻译权衡手法,增词使意义完整 英语新闻标题
19、用词一般不多和英语标题倾向于对某一 内容作“重点化”处理不求面面俱到这两点决定了其一般比 较精炼简短。而汉语新闻标题追求“全面性”和汉语一词一 意,使得汉语标题用词相对较多。所以,在汉译标题时,可 以结合汉语新闻标题的特点,适当增加一些词语,使标题形 式更加趋于汉语化,意义更趋完整,例如: Older ,Wiser ,Calmer 人愈老,智愈高,心愈平 这条新闻聚焦于当今老龄化社会,尤其是老人们退休 以后在处理各种问题时表现出来的睿智和冷静。若按照原 文逐字翻译成“更老,更明智,更冷静”就不如增加“人”、 “智”、“心”三字意义更加明确,句式更加整齐,更加符合中 国读者的阅读习惯了。,减词
20、减词法的目的有三: 一是尽可能减去原标题中的虚词、代词、系动词等以求语言简练; 二是省略标题中的次要信息,以求突出关键信息,同时也符合汉语标题讲究含蓄地特点。 例如: The Battle Of Human Versus Computer At Chess 人机象棋大战 My Husband Is A Man In A Woman s World 泡在女人堆里的男人,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,翻译成汉语之后中国读者也能同样感受得到,则尽可能体现原标题的修辞特点,不能保持原修辞格时,可换用其它修辞格或采用意译。 Courage Knows No Ge
