广播英语与报刊英语的主要差异 英语广播新闻是新闻英语的一个分支，它与报纸新闻最基本的区别在于，前者诉诸于一耳，而后者则诉诸十目。有鉴于此，英语广播新闻必须通俗易懂，简洁明决，尽可能地使听众捕捉到每一条稍纵即逝、过耳不留的信息。为此，英语广播新闻不能简单地将英文报纸上的消息或通讯社的电讯稿随手拈来播发，而必须先经过加工，使之由适合于看变得适合于听。根据这一原则，英语广播新闻在文体上除了遵循报纸英语的典型特点外，还具有其独特之处，主要表现在以下五大方面，现别论分述如下： 一、措词简短、通俗易懂 英文报纸上的新闻语言要求通俗即可，但是不一定要求口语，而英语广播新闻则要求两者兼而有之，或者说，要求通俗到口语化的程度．从而保证每句播出之后能立即为听众所接受和理解。因此，英语广播新闻稿在措词上尤其狠下功夫，选词尽可能深人浅出，简短明了，如偏爱使用常用词语或音节少而短的词，忌用深奥怪僻的字眼。试比较《纽约时报》和“美国之音”有关同一消息的两种不同写法： Both the British and French governments had registered initial objections to German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genschers plan to provide alternative scientific work for thousands of skilled people left unemployed and unpaid by the collapse of the Soviet military-industrial complex, which was first floated two weeks ago, but have withdrawn them as the idea has evolved. ----The New York Times Britain and France have now agreed to German foreign minister Genschers plan to give a wide choice of scientific work to thousands of skilled but jobless people left over by the falling down of the Soviet Union. Genschers plan got support two weeks ago except that Britain and France expressed their disagreement. ----VOA 不难看出，广播新闻稿为了便于听和记，记者往往在文字上下一番功夫，将一些书面词语改为通俗的口语，如register -express; objection- disagreement; alternative - a wide choice of; unemployed - jobless; collapse – falling down; floated - got support等等。类似的常用简短词语在英语广播中俯拾即是，如accord - agreement; aid - assist; aim - purpose; arms - arsenal:ban - prohibit; blast - explosion; clash - controversy; crash - collision;cut - reduce; drive - campaign; due -- schedule; mark - celebrate;pullout -- withdrawal; rally - mass assembly; talk - negotiation -conference; tie - relation等等，不胜枚举。 二、句型简洁、单句为主 如前所述，广播新闻报道一瞬即逝，不能在一句话里堆砌很多概念和词语，因此，它除了措词一定要干净利索外，还必须使用简明扼要的句型，尤以单句为佳，或将长句折成短句，使之更适合人们的听觉习惯，少用或忌用倒装句、分词短语等时常见诸英文报端、有碍于收听的典型书面语结构，以期达到一旦播出，听众即能听懂的目的。 例如，澳大利亚《悉尼先驱晨报》在报道一位参议员的伤势时，写了这样一句句子：At the hospital, after an examination indicated that Senator Smiths injuries were n
