Are marked by language that can attract reader’s amazement or curiosity.They reflect the tones of the stories rather than summarize the facts in stories.II:Translation of news headlines ①literal translation 直译法
If English headline can be understood easily.then we can use direct translation.eg.Looking back to look ahead.回顾过去,展望未来
②Free/liberal translation 意译法
Adding explanatory words添加注释性语言 eg.Pierre werner 欧元之父
二 总结与反思
1.收获:英美报刊文章有着与中文表达不同风格。英美报刊文章有着自己的词汇、语法结构和修辞特点,各类报刊的风格也不尽相同,各自有各自独特的特点。通过对报刊选读的学习,从报刊的分类、文章的修辞手法以及对报刊的翻译方法等发面的学习,学生不仅提高了对英语报刊内容的阅读速度,还能较快速的找到文章的重点,快速掌握了文章中心思想和主要内容的能力。另一方面,阅读英语报刊是提升英语阅读水平的最好方法,通过学习,学生不仅感觉英语阅读能力有明显的提高还扩大了学生的知识面,增加了对世界文化的了解,尤其是加深了对英语国国家的文化及社会现状的了解。2.问题:
a.由于对欧美报刊分类以及报刊之间的联系缺乏了解,不认识欧美的诸多著名报刊。
b.对报刊文章里面的某些语言和背景知识不理解,所以很难理解文章想要表达的内容。
3.原因:
1)缺乏对欧美文化、历史、政治、军事等方面的了解,遇到某些专有名词或含有意义的词语不能充分体会。
2)欧美报刊文章与国内报刊文章差别较大,易受国内报刊文章风格,写作手法影响以及误导。
3)欧美报刊风格多样化,对欧美报刊文章阅读量太少。
4)学时太短,课上学的东西太少,课后没有能及时的复习以及展开扩展学习。
4.解决办法:
(一)多复习以及巩固欧美报刊文章分类、修辞手法、语法等知识。
(二)加强对欧美文化、历史等方面的学习以及了解。
(三)多阅读欧美报刊文章。有不会的标记与老师同学多讨论学习。
