Translation of English News Headline
I. Introduction
From the ancient ages, human beings have invented quite a few ways such as gestures, picture and special voice to get information. Currently, as the pace of life is increasingly growing fast, people would have a higher request on the way in acquiring the information. News, which comes into being with its rapidity and clarity, meets people’s needs and becomes wide-spread in society.
From the angle of the news, the headline is a crucial part of news which could summarize the news contents, demonstrate the value of news and attract readers’ attention. As for the newspaper office, the competition of getting more readers begins with the competition of titles. The features of English news headline, that is, accuracy and concision, vividness and shortness, novelty and lifelikeness, which are also the basic principles to edit the headline, are embodied in the selection of vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and rhetorical device in English news headline.
According to the features of English news headline, the writers are inclined to make use of words which are short and vivid, besides that, omission is frequently used to make the title become concise and brief. Not all kinds of punctuations could appear in the headline. The commonly used ones like comma, colon, dash and quotation marks indicate the specific meanings of the headline. The headline is inclined to produce a striking effect by means of figure of speech and possess other implied information with the usage of the rhetorical device. Therefore, explaining how to understand the usage of rhetorical device and figuring out the implicit meaning of headline are the tasks that the translators should accomplish. 浅谈英语新闻标题的翻译:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_18683.html
