第一章 英语新闻的标题

当我们拿起报刊时，首先浏览的是标题，然后根据自己的兴趣

再将目光移至新闻的导语和以后的段落，这可以说是绝大多数读

者的阅读习惯。然而，在我们初次阅读英文报刊时，会发现新闻的

标题不能够一看就懂。按照英语新闻的编辑理论，标题是新闻消

息的概括和总结，必须让读者在不读新闻本身之前就可以通过标

题了解到一则新闻的内容。那么，为什么我们一开始接触英语新

闻就遇到拦路虎呢？原因在于英语新闻的标题有自己的规律和特

点，了解并掌握标题的规律和特点对读懂标题是至关重要的。下

面我们就对标题的一些规律和显著特点举例加以阐述。

一、标题中的时态

（一）一般现在时的运用

按照英语语法规则，一般现在时通常表示习惯性、经常性的动

作，现在的特征、状态或普遍真理。但是，在英语新闻的标题中，一

般现在时的运用与这一语法规则相差甚远。新闻是新近发生的事

实的报道，新闻所报道的绝大多数是已经发生的事情，为了让读者

对新闻事实有新鲜、生动和现实的感觉，新闻标题中经常使用动词

的一般现在时来表述已经发生的事情。例如：

UN halts sanctions against Yugoslavia

The UN (the United Nations) Security Council yesterday for-

mally ended crippling economic sanctions against the rump Yugoslav

state, acknowledging Serbia's contribution towards halting the war

it fomented in Bosnia.
