经济新闻的特点 篇章layout 英文财经报道的正文中往往采用大量的引述。因此，一篇报道中源引政府官员、市场人士、分析评论专家的话层出不穷。引述可以是一段完整的话，或者一句话中的一部分，甚至是原话中一、两个词。 Clinton-Budget Debate Will Now Begin “in earnest” Washington, Nov. 19 (Reuter) -- President Bill Clinton said on Sunday that a deal between Congress and the White House to get federal workers back on the job was a good thing and will let the debate over how to balance the federal budget begin in earnest.Tomorrow the government will go back to work and now the debate will begin in earnest on how to balance the budget in a way that is consistent with the interests and the values of the American people, Clinton told reporters at the White House shortly after the deal was announced on Capitol Hill.Clinton reminded reporters he had expressed strong doubts that the seven-year timetable for balancing the budget could be realized. But he said he and congressional Republicans, who are demanding that timetable, had agreed to work to see if we can reach common ground. 句子 Sentences 句子偏长，结构比较松散，插入成分(Parenthesis) 也通常比较多。 “…World Bank Managing Director Richard Frank said in a statement that the $52 billion international rescue package assembled by the Clinton administration--which includes $17 billion from the International Monetary Fund--would meet Mexico’s short-term financial crisis, which blew up after the government devalued the peso in December.” 另外，财经报道经常涉及各类经济数据、市场价格及其它有关的统计数字，这些数据之间的比较或参照是财经报道的重要组成部分。因此，比较结构在英文财经报道的句型中占有很大的比例。 比较less/higher/lower/narrower/smaller： That was smaller than the $5.6 billion surplus economists had predicted.（比经济人士预测的56亿美元逆差少。） 最高级highest/record high/lowest：The Bundesbank cut its discount rate 3.5%, the lowest level in seven years.（德意志联邦银行将利率下调到七年来最低的3.5%。） 对比against/opposite/compare/contrast：Export surplus was 72.54 billion francs, compared with 47.71 billion francs in the same period a year earlier.（与去年同期477.1亿法朗相比，出口顺差为725.4亿法朗。） 词Words （1）常用一些外来语(loanword)、俗俚语、口语表达形式 1） The weak dollar … has hammered the earnings of the big
