如何阅读英语新闻的标题(三)
在英文报纸上,当你看到的不定词to+V,如果是在主词之后,是代表未来式,省略be+going。
举例:President Chen to march tomorrow
陈水扁总统明天将游行
President Chen is going to march tomorrow
举例:DPP to hold mass rally against anti-session law on March 26
民进党将于三月廿六日举行反反分裂法的大型集会
DPP is going to hold mass rally against anti-session law on March 26.
举例:After 34 years, wedding bells to ring for Charles and Camilla
34年后,查理士与卡蜜拉的婚礼钟声将响起。
After 34 years, wedding bells are going to ring for Charles and Camilla.
另外新闻英语中的标点符号,也是有学问的。因为连接词and也往往省略了,所以当你看到逗号“,”时,其实是代表“, and…..”
举例:Dignitaries from over 80 countries, millions of pilgrims gather for funeral of John Paul II
应该是
Dignitaries from over 80 countries, and millions of pilgrims gather for funeral of John Paul II
来自八十余国的显要人士,与数百万的朝圣者,为了约翰保禄二世的葬礼聚集在一块。
举例:Villagers Riot in China, 50 Police Injured
在中国村民暴动,五十名警员受伤
Villagers Riot in China, and 50 Police were Injured
举例:Severed Penis Retrieved from Toilet, Reattached
这是则趣闻,看得懂什么意思吗?
Severed Penis was retrieved from Toilet, and reattached.
这是一位44岁阿拉斯加安克拉治的男士,他的阴茎被愤怒的女友给切了下来,并且丢入马桶冲走,但后来警方找来水肥公司,从马桶里找回了他的命根子,而且还成功地接了回去!
• Feb.22, Reuter
• ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) – A 44-year-old Anchorage man had his penis surgically reattached after it was cut off by an angry girlfriend and flushed down a toilet, local police said on Sunday.
