'Melo drains game-winner to help Nuggets stun Raptors The words of Carmelo Anthony after he missed two free throws and a potential game-winner before getting a third chance to lift the Nuggets over the Toronto Raptors.An offensive rebound from Nene led to a Chauncey Billups assist to Anthony, who nailed a jumper as time expired, giving the Nuggets a thrilling 97-96 victory over the Raptors.“It all started with the two free throws and then we got the ball back out of bounds,” Anthony reflected.“I had a chance to end it right before the game-winner.I missed it.Three times is the charm.” The win prevented the Nuggets from dropping four straight and was a huge boost with road games against Orlando and Dallas coming up.“Somebody up there likes me,” said Denver interim coach Adrian Dantley.“That's all I can say.” The shot snapped the hearts of Raptors fans, who watched their team come out with the energy that had been lacking in back-to-back losses of 26 points in their last two home contests.The shot completed a comeback that had the Raptors up 12 with just over eight minutes to go in the fourth.When a three-point play from Andrea Bargnani put the Raptors up three with 44.4 seconds, Anthony was fouled and missed two free throws.Despite the Raptors owning a 58-38 advantage on the boards for the game, the Nuggets came up with the offensive rebound and Chauncey Billups hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 95-95 with 33.9 seconds.After Chris Bosh made one of two free throws, Anthony missed his first jumper with 6.9 seconds on the clock and the Nuggets came away with the biggest offensive rebound of the night, feeding Anthony for the game-winner.“It's disappointing, but down in the end their two clutch players made two great shots,” said Raptors coach Jay Triano.“Chauncey's three with a hand right in his face gives them a chance and then the second look, Carmelo makes a contested two at the buzzer.Their stars made plays.It's tough to swallow, but there is nothing we can do about it.” Anthony finished with 25 points and eight rebounds, Nene scored 20 and grabbed nine rebounds and Billups overcame a 4-for-18 shooting night to finish with 18, none bigger than his final 3-pointer.“That's why he's named big shot,” rookie Ty Lawson said.“Because he makes the big shots.” With 12 games remaining and a playoff spot still up for grabs, the Raptors were desperate to get a win and right the ship before heading out on the road for a crucial two-game swing against Miami and Charlotte.It appeared as though they were on their way when things fell apart for the Nuggets in the third.Despite open looks and transition opportunities, they couldn't make a shot.“Great looks,” Billups said of Denver's looks in the quarter.“Layups, transition passes, 10-foot shots.It was incredible, but we didn't get discouraged, we didn't hang our heads, we just continued to play.” After shooting 56 percent in the first half, the Nuggets made just 3-for-21 in the period and were outscored 29-16, trailing 81-72 at the start of the fourth.“We didn't quit,” Dantley said.“Throughout the whole game we didn't do a good job of transition runbacks.We didn't quit and that's the bottom line.Third quarter I just kept telling them don't quit, just hang in there....Luckily, the guys didn't quit on me.” The Raptors played without Hedo Turkoglu, who was out with the stomach flu.Sonny Weems started in place of Turkoglu, finishing with 14 against his former team.Bosh led the Raptors with 18 and 12 rebounds, Bargnani added 14 and 15 rebounds and rookie DeMar DeRozan had 15 off the bench for the first time this season.With his teammates mobbing him as the buzzer sounded, Anthony celebrated.In the locker room afterward, he said it was, “on to the next,” but acknowledged the feeling of finishing off the Raptors on their home floor.“I think hitting one on the road, you get that much more joy out of it,” Anthony said.“That much more satisfaction.You've got 20 thousand people against you and you can make a shot to silence them?” He smiled once more.“That feels good.” Durant lifts Thunder to surprisingly easy win over Lakers Kobe Bryant and his Los Angeles Lakers teammates had been cruising along like a well-oiled machine during their seven-game winning streak.They came into Oklahoma City with a 12-game winning streak over the Thunder franchise dating back to the Seattle days.But Friday night in front soldout and roaring crowd at Ford Center, Kobe and the Lakers(53-19)clanked, clunked and sputtered in their worst performance of the season, while the Thunder(44-27)sizzled in rolling to a shockingly easy 91-75 win that wasn't nearly that close.The 75 points was L.A.'s lowest output this season.OKC led by 33 at the end of the third, 80-47, when the Lakers managed just 13 points to begin the second half.They scored just 15 to begin the first half and shot just 39 percent for the game.L.A.even had touble hitting free throws--going just 15-for-24.“They have speed and quickness, they beat us to all the loose balls,” said Lakers coach Phil Jackson.“They were just quicker than we were in all areas.” It became such a mismatch that Thunder coach Scott Brooks didn't know what to say to begin his postgame news conference.He sat down, looked around at the gathered reporters and said, “Well,” paused looked around a moment more and finally added, “we played good basketball tonight.” Indeed.It looks like the Thunder's early spring swoon that saw them drop three of four is over.They played well despite losing to San Antonio on Monday night then throttled Houston Wednesday night before drilling the Lakers Friday night.“We bounce back well, we never get too high after a big win or too low after a disappointing loss,” said Brooks.“Our guys like to compete and wanna get better.” The Lakers seemed a little disinterested coming off a big come-from-behind win in San Antonio on Wednesday night.Bryant didn't score in the third, missing the only shot he took and didn't even play in the fourth.He finished with almost as many turnovers(nine)as points(11)and was just 4-for-11 shooting.“Thabo [Sefolosha] did a great job on one of the best players in the game,” said Brooks.“I couldn't ask for a better defensive game.Thabo has changed the culture of our team with his defense.He sets the tone, he's an inspirational player.Not too many people can do what he does.” Sefolosha, who is gaining more of a reputation around the league for being a defensive stopper, constantly pestered Bryant with hands in his face and around the ball.Bryant slipped down a couple of times and tripped another time as he turned the ball over.“Kobe had nine turnovers and you can't do that,” Jackson said.“You can't have a game like that and expect to have success especially this late in the season.” “They played very well,” a solemn Bryant said after the game.“They executed and did a good job.They did great defensively.” On what if anything this loss might indicate as far as the Lakers are concerned heading toward the playoffs, Bryant had the obvious answer.“We want to play better.There are things we have to do.I know what we can do.I know what our game really is and so I'm not second guessing it.” Bryant had scored 31, 26 and 40 points in the previous three meetings with the Thunder this season.“Thabo's defense was great,” said an admiring Kevin Durant, “Kobe is the best player in the world.Thabo gets us going on defense, he did a great job of fighting Kobe.” The showdown defensive matchup was supposed to be the Lakers' Ron Artest on Durant.Artest almost single-handedly shut down the Spurs' offense Wednesday night.Early in this contest, Artest bothered Durant's shot a little, but the All-Star forward scored 26 to lead all scorers and added eight rebounds.He was 9-for-19 shooting.Artest was just 1-for-6 for 2 points.The Lakers had only two players in double figures, Lamar Odom with 15 and Kobe's 11.In additon to Durant's 26, point guard Russell Westbrook broke out of his recent shooting slump, hitting 10-for-13 for 23.Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic added 10 each and Krstic grabbed 10 rebounds.The Thunder outrebounded L.A.42-39 and dominated in the paint and on the break--outscoring the Lakers 44-30 down low and 15-7 on the run.The Thunder started just the way Brooks had hoped they would--with a lot of energy and stingy defense.The Lakers seemed to meander around on offense, never getting in sync early, shooting just 30 percent in the first for 15 points.Oklahoma City, meanwhile, got off to another hot shooting start, hitting 48 percent and scoring 27 in the first.The Lakers also had trouble with turnovers.They came into the game averaging just 13.5 per game, but had 11 by halftime--eight of those belonging to Bryant.The Lakers will continue their road trip in Houston on Saturday night.“It was a tough game for us but we really don't have to make a huge deal about it,” said Lakers center Pau Gasol, who had nine points.“We just have to bounce back tomorrow, put together a good game and move on.” Oklahoma City will stay home to host Portland in another key Western Conference game Sunday night.“We got a good one tonight but now we've gotta get ready for the next one,” said Durant in a happy but quiet Thunder locker room.“We have 11 more games left so we have to keep pushing and play our hardest.”

第三篇：英语新闻演讲稿

Drinking alcohol in moderation is beneficial to the heart, a new study has revealed.最新研究发现，适度饮酒对心脏有益。

Those who drink wine, spirits or beer regularly are less prone to heart failure and heart attacks than people who rarely or never drink.规律饮红酒、烈酒或啤酒的人与从不或极少饮酒的人相比，患心力衰竭和心脏病发作的几率要小。

Three to five drinks a week are part of a heart-healthy lifestyle, scientists concluded.科学家总结说，每周喝三到五杯酒是对心脏有益的健康生活方式。

Drinking a little alcohol every day can be part of a healthy lifestyle, Imre Janszky, a professor of social medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology said.每天少量饮酒是健康生活方式的一部分，挪威科技自然大学社会医学教授伊姆勒央斯基说。

When consumed in moderation, alcohol does more good than harm, he added.他还补充，只要适度饮用，酒精利大于弊。

And he said, it doesn’t matter whether a person drinks wine, liquor or beer.而且，不论是红酒、烈酒还是啤酒都是如此。

It’s primarily the alcohol that leads to more good cholesterol, among other things,’ he said.“最主要的是，酒精能够产生更多有益胆固醇。”他说。

But alcohol can also cause higher blood pressure, so it’s best to drink moderate amounts relatively often.’“但酒精同时会造成高血压，所以，最好是规律饮酒，且每次适量。”

With colleagues from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Professor Janszky and his team have published two studies looking at the link between alcohol and heart health.央斯基教授和他的团队与斯德哥尔摩卡罗林斯卡学院的同事合作，发表了两篇关于酒精与心脏健康之间关联的研究。

The most recent focuses on heart failure, while another, published in September, looks at acute myocardial infarction.最近一篇关注心力衰竭，九月份发布的另一篇则关注急性心肌梗塞。

In both cases, research shows people who regularly drink alcohol have better cardiovascular health than those who consume little or no alcohol.两篇研究结果均表明，规律饮酒的人心血管健康状况优于很少或从不饮酒的人。

The studies showed that those who drank three to five drinks each week were 33 per cent less prone to heart failure than those who abstained, or drank infrequently.研究表明每周喝三到五杯酒的人比很少或从不喝酒的人患心力衰竭的几率低33%。

In the case of heart attacks, the risk was reduced by 28 per cent with each additional one-drink increment.每多喝一杯酒，心脏病发作的风险就减少28%。

Researchers said the findings were no surprise.研究者称这项发现并不令人意外。

There is a general consensus among the scientific community that three to five drinks a week can be good for the heart.在科学界一直都有一个共识：每周三到五杯酒对心脏有益。

The relationship between alcohol and heart health has been studied in many countries, including the USA and southern European nations,’ Professor Janszky said.“很多国家已经研究了酒精和心脏健康的关系，包括美国和南欧一些国家，”央斯基教授说。

The conclusions have been the same, but the drinking patterns in these countries are very different than in Norway.尽管结论一致，但是这些国家的饮酒方式和挪威大不相同。

In countries like France and Italy, very few people don’t drink.在法国和意大利这样的国家，少有不喝酒的人。

It raises the question as to whether earlier findings can be fully trusted, if other factors related to non-drinkers might have influenced research results.“这样就出了问题：如果不喝酒的人有一些其他因素影响研究结果，那么是否能够完全相信之前的发现?

It may be that these are people who previously had alcohol problems, and who have stopped drinking completely.’“有可能这些人之前有酒精相关问题，后来完全戒酒了。”

For this reason, the researchers wanted to examine the theory within a Norwegian population where a significant population drinks rarely or not at all.因为这个原因，研究者想在挪威人中进行理论研究，因为这个国家的大部分人都很少或一点不喝酒。

In the study looking at myocardial infarction, 41 per cent of participants reported that they did not drink at all, or that they consumed less than half an alcoholic beverage each week.在研究心肌梗塞的调查中，41%的参与者表示他们滴酒不沾或每周喝少于半杯酒精饮料。

Both studies are based on the longitudinal HUNT 2 Nord-Tr?ndelag Health Study conducted between 1995 and 1997.两项研究都基于北特伦德拉格郡纵向HUNT 2健康调查1995年至1997年间的数据。

The study which examined the relationship between heart failure and alcohol followed 60,665 people enrolled on the HUNT study研究心力衰竭和酒精关系的调查跟踪了HUNT研究中登记在册的60665人。

At the time, between 1995 and 1997, all participants had no incidence of heart failure.同时，在1995至1997年间，所有参与者没有发生意外事故或心脏衰竭。

Of those, 1,588 developed heart failure during the period of the study, which ended in 2008.在这些人中，有1588人在研究期间(至2008年结束)出现了心力衰竭。

The risk was highest for those who rarely or never drank alcohol, and for those who had an alcohol problem.极少或从不饮酒，以及有酒精相关问题的人，他们的心力衰竭风险是最高的。

The more often participants consumed alcohol within normal amounts, the lower their risk of heart failure turned out to be.researchers noted.参与者越经常地适度饮酒，他们患心力衰竭的风险就越低，研究者指出。

Those who drank five or more times a month had a 21 per cent lower risk compared to non-drinkers and those who drank little, while those who drank between one and five times a month had a two per cent lower risk.每月饮酒五次及以上的人比不饮或极少饮酒的人风险低21%，而那些每月饮酒一到五次的人风险低2%。

Professor Janszky said: ’I’m not encouraging people to drink alcohol all the time.央斯基教授说：“我不是鼓励人们一直喝酒。”

We’ve only been studying the heart, and it’s important to emphasize that a little alcohol every day can be healthy for the heart.“我们只研究了心脏方面，强调每天饮适量酒精对心脏健康有益是很重要的。

But that doesn’t mean it’s necessary to drink alcohol every day to have a healthy heart.’“但这并不意味着要想有健康的心脏就必须每天喝酒。”

In the heart attack study, 58,827 participants were categorized by how much and how often they drank.在心脏病发作的研究中，58827位参与者根据饮酒量和频率分成不同小组。

Of the study participants, 2,966 experienced an acute myocardial infarction(AMI)between 1995 and the end of 2008.2966名参与者在1995年至2008年底间发生过急性心肌梗塞。

The adjusted analyses showed that each additional one-drink increment decreased the risk of AMI by 28 per cent.整理过的分析结果表明，每多喝一杯酒，急性心肌梗死的风险降低28%。

The researchers stressed that few participants in the study drank particularly much, so they cannot conclude that high alcohol intake protects against heart attack or heart failure.研究者强调，参与者中很少有人过量饮酒，所以他们并不能得出大量饮酒能使人免受心脏病发作和心力衰竭的结论。

They also encourage looking at the findings in a larger context, since the risk of a number of other diseases and social problems can increase as a result of higher alcohol consumption.他们同时鼓励人们在更大的背景下考虑这项发现，因为大量饮酒可能会增加许多其他疾病的风险和引发社会问题。

For example, the researchers observed that the risk of dying from various types of cardiovascular disease increased with about five drinks a week and up, while those who drank more moderate amounts had the lowest risk.例如，研究者发现每周喝五杯酒或更多酒的人，他们死于各种心血管疾病的风险会增加，而适量饮酒的人风险最低。

High alcohol consumption was also strongly associated with an increased risk of death from liver disease.大量饮酒还和死于肝病的风险增加有很大的相关性。

The study looking at heart failure was published in the Journal of Cardiology, while the research focusing on actue myocardial infarction was published in the Journal of Internal Medicine.研究心力衰竭的调查在《心脏病杂志》上发表，急性心肌梗死的调查在《内科医学杂志》上发表。

4时态

动词表示一种动态，新闻标题在浓缩新闻内容时，如能恰到好处地用上一个动词，就能增色不少，给人以形象生动、跃然纸上的感觉。如earthquake Hits Osakakobe（地震重袭日本皈神地区）远比 Earthouake Inosakakobe显得具体而达意。标题中用了动词，固然好处不少，但也给我们阅读英语报刊增加了一个困难。

我们知道，英语中的动词有时态变化，在英语新闻标题中也不例外。但由于新闻标题必须言简意赅，不可能采用英语的所有时态形式来浓缩新闻事实。为此，新闻标题形成了自身独有的时态特点，以达到使动词既传神达意又具时间感的目的。英语报刊的新闻标题中一般不用过去时态，当然更不用过去完成时等时态，而采用现在时态，使读者阅报时一如置身于这条新闻事件中，这叫做“新闻现在时”(Journalistic Present Tense)，与文学写作中的 “历史现在时”，（Historical Present Tense）实际上完全一样。所以，英语新闻标题中常用的动词时态主要有三种：一般现在时、将来时和现在进行时。

现分述如下：

4.1一般现在时通常被用来表示过去发生的事

通常情况下，报刊所载消息多为己发生过的事，按日常英语语法，标题中的动词应使用过去时态，但是这样容易给人产生一种陈旧感，似有‘昨日黄花，之嫌，缺乏吸引力。为了弥补这一缺陷，英语新闻标题常用一般现在时从形式上来增强报道的新鲜感（Freshness）、现实感。Reality，和直接感（Immediacy）。此外，标题采用动词的一般现在时还可省去动词过去式构成中常见的“Ed”两个字母，节省标题字数。正因一般现在时在英语新闻标题中的这一特殊。用法，初读英语报纸的读者应特别注意这一现象，不要把它误以为是日常英语语法中的一般现在时，从而影响对全文内容的阅读与理解。例如：

Comeback Gives China A Sensational Thomas Cup Win.(The Comeback Gave China A Sensational Thomas Cup Win.)中国队反败为胜荣获汤姆斯杯。

Street Battle In Heavy Shelling As Peace Talks Proceed.(Street Battle In Heavy Shelling As Peace Talks Proceeded.)和平会谈进行之际巷战依然炮声隆隆。

4.2动词的将来时更多地直接采用动词不定式来表达

英语新闻标题中动词将来时的表达形式除一般将来时“Will+动词原形”外，更多的还是采用“联系动词be+动词不定式”结构，其中联系动词be通常省略，以节省标题字数。换言之，动词不定式在英语新闻标题中可直接表示未来动作，这是因为不定式标志“To”只由两个字母构成，比一般将来时中的“Will”来得少，故频频见诸英语报端。例如：

Last Two Beiruit Hostages 'To Go Free'.(The Last Two Hostages In Beiruit Are 'To Go Free'.)贝鲁特最后两名人质“获释在望”。

Florida Freeze To Increase Area Produce Prices.(The Freeze In Florida Is To Increase The Areas Produce Prices.)佛罗里达严寒将使该地区农产品涨价。

4.3现在分词直接表示正在进行的动作或事件

对于正在发生的事态或动作,英语新闻标题也按日常英语语法规则处理，采用现在进行时"Be+现在分词”这一形式，但其中“Be”又通常省略。因此，剩下的现在分词便在新闻标题中直接表示正在进行的动作或正在发展的事态。例如：

Signs Of Rifts Appearing In Argentina's Junta.(The Signs Of Rifts Are Appearing In Argentina's Junta.)阿根廷军人政府出现内讧迹象。

Deposits, Loans Rising In Shanghai.(Deposits And Loans Are Rising In Shanghai.)上海储蓄与贷款额见升。

5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：

5.1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。

Three G0rges Flooded By 'Farewell' Tourists.(The Three Gorges Flooded By 'Farewell' Tourists.)惜别之情难以挡游客蜂拥至三峡。

5.2联系动词通常省略。

例如：Three Dead After Inhaling Oven Gas.(Three Are Dead After Inhaling Oven Gas.吸入炉灶煤气三人窒息身亡。

Clinton Inauguration Most Expensive Ever.(Clinton Inaugurati0n Is M0st Expensive Ever.)克氏就职典礼花费空前巨大。

5.3助动词通常省略。

例如：Financier Killed By Burglars.(A Financier Is Killed By Burglars.)夜毛贼入室金融家遇害。

Pope To Visit Japan In February.(Pope Is To Visit Japan In February.)教皇拟于二月访日。India Mending Fences.(India Is Mending Fences.)印度正在改善与邻国的关系。

5.4连词通常省略，并用逗号代替。

例如：Us，Vietnam Resume Talks.(Us And Vietnam Resume Talks.)美越恢复会谈。

Nbc's President Robert Wright Seeks Big Acquisiti0ns, Ventures For The Network.(Nbc's President Robert Wright Seeks Big Acquistions And Ventures For The Network.)“强有力的伙伴”+“可观的投资”――罗伯特董事长为nbc网络扩展而奔走。此外，英语新闻标题还经常省去介词、代词等，这些词的省略并不妨碍读者的理解。

6欣赏与汉译

6.1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。

6.2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。

6.3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.繁荣过后，尽是萧条。（或译：繁荣好景不再，萧条接因而来。）

双关：Soccer Kicks Off With Violence.足球开踢拳打脚踢。

借用典故：Liberty Mother Of Invention.自由是发明之母。

幽默：Accuser Accused.原告没当成 反而成被告。

比喻：Middie East: A Cradle Of Terror.中东恐怖主义的摇篮。

6.4灵活处理修辞差异。

英语标题寓意于某种修辞手段，而这种修辞手段在语言转换中如与汉语难以契合，则不妨意译，即舍弃原来的英语标题，按内容概括出合适的译文标题，切忌生搬硬套，译成晦涩难懂的句子。同时适当照顾汉语新闻标题的特点，多用动词、尾韵、对仗等修辞手段。如：押韵：Desperate Need, Desperate Deed.燃眉之急非常行动。

典故：1990: Year Of Marco Polo Chic.1990年：中国热的一年。

夸张：A Vow To Zip His Lips.誓将守口如瓶。

双关：'Silent' Office Workers Demand To Be Heard.“不闻不问”的办公室员工 今后将不再不闻不问了。

比喻：Russian Reform Old Wine In New Bottle.俄罗斯改革新瓶装陈酒。

可见，要译好英语新闻标题，除了需要透彻地理解原文内涵，领悟其妙处外，还要善于比较研究英汉两种语言新闻标题的特点，充分发挥汉语的优势。

7标点

7.1逗号常被用来代替连词“and”例如：

Belgium Supports Francs, Denies It Will Quit 'Snake'.(Belgium Supports The Francs And Denies It Will Quit The 'Snake'.)比利时支持法郎并否认将退出“蛇形浮动”。

Guangzhou Fair Closes, Trade Booms.(The Guangzhou Fair Closes And The Trade Booms.)广交会闭幕交易兴旺。

7.2冒号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”。例如：

Yeltsin: Muslim Nati0ns Call For End To Tensi0n In Bosnia Hergezervena.(Yeltsin Says That Muslim Nations Call For An End To The Tensi0n In Bosnia Hergezervena.)叶利钦说：穆斯林国家呼吁尽早结束波黑紧张局势。

Shanghai: Resplendent Pearl Of New China.(Shangha Is A Resplendent Pearl Of New China.)上海：新中国的璀璨明珠。

7.3破折号常被放置在不用引号的引言前后，以引出说话者。例如：

Economy Grows Slowly As Unemployment, Inflation Rise-Economists.(Economists Say That The Economy Grows Slowly As The Unemployment And Inflation Rise.)经济学家认为：失业率及通货膨胀加剧使得经济增长缓慢。

Malaria Still Menaces Quarter Of Humanity-French Professor.(A French Professor Says That Malaria Still Menaces A Quarter Of The Humanity.)法国一教授称：疟疾仍威胁着四分之一的人类。

8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。

例如“500 Reported Killed In S.Korean Building Collapse”远比“Collapse Claims 500 Lives In S.Korea”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。前旬虽为被动语态，却以数词开始，突出了这个重要内容，使它非常醒目，一下子吸引了读者。
