52《商场现代化》2007年8月(上旬刊)总第511期“财经新闻”成为许多新闻媒介的重要板块,各类媒体纷纷在逐步加大经济新闻报道分量。

以南方报业传媒集团旗下子报《21世纪经济报道》以及《财经》杂志为代表的报刊,效仿美国和英国著名财经报刊《华尔街日报》和《金融时报》的办报模式,结合中国本土实际,在国内专业性财经报刊领域辟开了天地。

它们的一个新的共同特征是,除了增加经济报道的数量,在报道时更注重挖掘财经新闻的深层次含义,且更加注重根据报纸的具体定位展开及时原创。

中央财经大学财经新闻专业的教授认为,在未来15年乃至更长时间内,财经新闻将成为中国乃至全球新闻界越来越重要的组成部分。

大到国家宏观经济政策,小到与民众日常密切相关的财经资讯,正在日益凸显其重要性。

而且“财经新闻”不再是严格意义上的财政、金融、证券、基金等狭义概念,而是一种相对广义的“经济新闻”—包括政经、产经、财经、公司企业、经济评论等诸多模块。

一、概念的界定何谓“财经”?财经新闻与金融新闻有什么区别?“财经”类报纸与“经济”类报纸、“金融”报纸、“商业”报纸有什么关联?中国人民大学博士生导师蓝鸿文教授认为,财经报道的概念应从广义上来理解,它应该包括生产、流通、消费经济活动中一切有关理财的报道。

《现代汉语词典》对这几个概念的界定是:财经:“财政和经济的合称”;经济:“经济学上指社会物质生产和再生产的活动”;商业:“以买卖方式使商品流通的经济活动”;财政:“国家对资财的收入与支出的管理活动”;金融:“货币的发行、流通和回笼,贷款的发放和收回,存款的存入和提取,汇兑的往来等经济活动”。

从上述诸多概念的定义可以初步判断:这些概念的外延是逐步缩小的。

笔者认为,金融类的报纸更多的只是关注证券市场、资本市场等微观经济活动的具体行为,而真正意义上财经类报纸的视域则是商业、经济、消费者事务以及影响商业活动的文化生活的所有方面。

综上所述,其定义可归纳为:财经报道(financial coverage)是有关财政、经贸等问题的报道,包括工业、农业、经济、商业、金融和消费等各个方面的热点新闻,如股市走向、石油价格、货币汇率等。

人们要想正确、及时地掌握财经新闻内容,在具有一定专业知识的同时,还要认识此类报道的语言特征。

财经新闻的专业术语通常富有特殊的意义,但其中所占比例最高的为抽象专业术语。

英语报刊财经报道的语言特色1.通俗化的专业术语作为新闻报道的一种,英语财经报道专业性较强,报道中习惯用语或专业术语不在少数,包括常用词都富有特殊含义,如汉语“变硬”英文翻译为“harden”,在财经报道的股市报道中则代表着市价上涨(appreciation of market price );“关闭”英文翻译为“close”,在财经报道中则代表收盘(Closing quotation )。

如果不能了解英语财经报道中这些术语和习语的特殊含义,就不能了解报道的相关信息和内容。

要保证外行人看懂财经报道,英语财经报道记者往往采用通俗易懂的专业术语,即利用不代表肤浅的通俗词汇,将颇有深度的新闻内容报道出去。

但并非通篇都是专业术语,以免降低读者兴趣,当然专业术语再多也不代表就属于深度新闻。

For example,"Plummet" and "Hit" is on the stock market changes described, mainly refers to the stock market fell, restored again in the bear market. These words are concise and powerful, so that readers of the article to form a fresh picture, to deepen the reader's memory of the news.4.3Rich vocabularyFinancial reports in English newspapers and magazines often utilizing rich comparative vocabulary of data changing tendency were described, these trends are objective existence, journalists usually does not increase the subjective consciousness, but will use different words to describe the same trend, one is to avoid the boring, second is the extent to which this trend express to prevent vocabulary reuse more accurately. For example: "skyrocket" means to "jump", "fall, drop, dive" said "drop, drop, drop", and "dump" said "drastic", "young" said "3196", "tum ble" said "emergency off". It is not difficult to see that the English newspaper financial reports declinedOr the rise of many words, but not every word is the same, so to consistent application and degree of vocabulary to express can objectively reflect the truth, and reflect the financial reports in English newspapers and periodicals vocabulary contrast feature rich.However, the Chinese translation of the vocabulary contrast to under the guidance of accuracy principle, the article analysis, choose appropriate words or conforms to the actual speech transformation, make the content of financial reports in English newspapers more smooth and flexible. There are two aspects in the conversion of lexical translation, one is the Chinese translation of English nouns into Chinese verbs, the two is the Chinese translation of English verbs into Chinese nouns.4.4Comparative meaning of grammarFinancial news is boring, so reports often use various grammatical means development trend of contrast, makes boring statistics and information combination, can be more legible, with convincing. The most common is the use of contrast.In addition to the common representation of the comparison of adverbs and adjectives to compare the level of structure, the English financial report comparison structure commonly used in the three major types, such as the "less" "higher" "lower" and so on. In addition to emphasizing the contrast effect of adverbs and adjectives in the most advanced form, the use of comparative prepositions and phrases are also very common. "Opposite com" "pared with" "to in" "contrast" "against" and so on. These prepositions and phrases are not necessarily translated into "comparison" when they are understood and translated into Chinese. They should be based on the context and choose not to violate the original meaning but also conform to the expression of Chinese idioms.In a word,English financial reports of a very special, the commonly used words of the probability is very high, between words collocation and syntactic features are its inherent law. This paper use according to the characteristics of related syntax, vocabulary, simple analysis the features of English newspaper financial reports, the purpose is to provide some help for the readers to obtain the information.4.5Flexible "interpretation" dataEnglish newspapers and financial news often have access to digital, but, after all, is an abstraction of the concept, the reader's ability to accept the number of different industries are limited. So in financial reports, the number can not be used, can not be used indiscriminately. Some can be used alone, and some need to be compared with; some can be used directly, and some need to be converted to use. In a word, in the financial reports, if you can just perfect use of digital, will make the reports considerably. On the contrary, if the reporter simply put one one of the data out of a simple, news reports will appear to be too boring, boring. To this end, the reporter to flexible"interpretation" of the relevant data, so as to become visible, tangible, easy to understand the real digital vapid.4.6The expression of prognostic significance in different waysEnglish financial reports often according to the past and present situation of the future trend forecast in describing the development trend of economic trade. Usually case, the reporter in the specific financial reports for the future development trend to make three predictions, namely very grasp certain prediction, possibility of larger (probable) prediction or less likely (possible) to predict, with the expression of natural way are also different.5Method of analysis5.1Professional operation of popular languageAs a professional strong news, financial news reported a significant feature is one of a large number of technical terminology. That is some common words, are often endowed with special significance in the financial news channel.5.2Vivid languageGiving things will become personality, things like people have feelings and actions of rhetorical techniques like the. In order to make the news language vivid.5.3The description of the trend in diversificationEconomic development tend to have periodic, then the economic indexes of ups and downs also commonplace. The financial news writing, speaking, and how to use various methods to describe the trend of economic development? English writing should not repeat the words, and excessive use of increase, decrease. The words are not desirable. Flexible use in rise or descend various expressions become inevitable.5.4Flexible data processingFinancial news is not avoidable to be related to the number of words. To the reader without financial professional background knowledge to speak, the number of words can be abstract, low noise. So in the English financial news reported,The number of words not can not use, but also absolutely can not put the number as the water column to the reader account like ronaldo. Then, as the writing English financial news, in the face of the digital will be flexible,The abstract data clearly in the reader in the brain, body, image.5.5The difference between domestic and foreign English financial reports5.5.1Application analysis of English Business News Reports and language featuresEnglish business news is a professional news, for our country, and is a composite of news, cross language and cross-cultural language category English financial news core is news, carrier of language is English, so the language belongs to the Chinese and English news with the common features of the English news; in addition, English business news belongs to financial news, has some of the characteristics of financial news. This paper mainly focuses on the characteristics of English business news.The main function is to transmit information of financial coverage. The information content in a timely manner to understand and accurately grasp the English financial reports, in addition to have certain professional knowledge, should also report this kind of language rules and characteristics of knowledge. Overall, English financial reports from the individual words selection to the contents of the statementReflects the news through some timely, objective and novel features, in addition, due to the professional needs, financial reports in two aspects of form and content, and show its unique features. We were from the discourse structure and syntactic form and diction and sentence several introduced English financial reports and language skills.English financial coverage belongs to a professional news, therefore, the biggest characteristic of the language is the professional terms and terminology, and many common words are endowed with special meaning. If you do not understand the meaning of these words in the professional, might not be able to truly read relevant reports and news.English financial coverage in order to reflect the new, popular,and attract readers attention, often with some foreign language, vulgar language, but oral expression and more vivid and flexible words.In summary, on the one hand, the English financial coverage reflects the timeliness and objectivity of news reports, on the other hand, also has a strong professional, the uses of language has certain characteristics and laws, familiar with these language features help readers to more timely and effective access to financial information.5.5.2Chinese Features of English financial coverageEnglish financial coverage of our country mainly belong to external communication, under the environment of Chinese situation, is as the main news material, use the foreign language to carry on the foreign financial coverage, relative to other countries in Englishspeaking countries financial coverage, particularity of English financial coverage in China has its special place, conducive to the development of our foreign financial coverage. In China, especially to the understanding of these special concrete Compared with British and American financial news reports, China Financial News English belongs to English for non-native countries use English as the carrier of the financial news reports. The target audience is the most foreigners, especially in English speaking countries. While China English media practitioners most is Chinese, for the English media editors and reporters, Chinese is the mother tongue, while English is a foreign language, they are under the environment of Chinese to foreign language as the carrier were to the foreign language speaking audience of financial reports, the Chinese people in English writing press releases, and its degree of difficulty can be imagined. "Although China's English language media hired a large number of foreign experts as a revising, but mother tongue writing and on the base of foreign language writing language polishing after all is different."In addition, our English business news belongs to the cross-cultural communication, the audience is mostly foreigners, their ideas and ways of thinking and understanding the perspective of even the views of some of the things have a unique, this is largely determined by their unique cultural background, but we most of the reporters and editors have profound cultural background of the China Chinese, in order to do a good job in foreign financial reports, they must be on a foreign audience's cultural background, habits, customs, history and composition of all aspects of the culture to understand, but this is precisely the editors who work life at home is very hard.6Development trendIf we look at the report that has published a large number of financial news, especially news of Finance and economics, then you will find that many of the reports in addition to the report of the things, but also analyze the influence of the event and show a trend. Because the trend trend will have a very strong guidance for people to invest and buy stocks and so on economic behavior, if reported in the press a to the industry has started to enter the era of meager profit, or a certain industry has become a sunset industry, investment has been the basic unprofitable, then to to invest to the readers of the industry in the industry see the report will originally planned to reconsider. Financial news are most affected by the future awareness of the impact of foreign people carried out for this study, in China there is a lack of such research, but from our personal reading feeling of a large number of financial news see, this is the existence of. This is because the symbolic assets circulation and trading in the market share of the growing proportion . The forecasts and predictions shows its importance in the market economy system. So the financial news by the awareness of future impact will be more strongly. The future is divergent, there may be many direction, this trend reminds us that financial news social responsibility will be greater.7ConclusionsFrom the point of view of language and style, English business news belongs to one kind of English news, English business news come from the aspects of grammar, structure and wording with the general meaning of the English news has a very common, but because of the characteristics of English Business News and professional requirements, English Business News exist the unique personality characteristics, this paper tries to has conducted the research and the discussion to some personality characteristics. The language and stylistic characteristics of English Business News: the title the dapper, has a strong and dynamic trend of words; text structure with Wall Street body and the hourglass modes; text content in the frequent use of digital, digital functions mainly include: for the abstract concepts or senses the specific things, to report certain facts to explain the doubts, as the economic situation report evidence and facts on the reports for comparative analysis and to report the fact that decide and guarantee and so on. The use of a comparative method, including horizontal and vertical comparison, the company executives, industry experts and officials of relevant departments and associations with news reports in the alternative method. Digital flexible direct speech of new financial surplus. The boring but important materials for processing, use of illustrations, digging and complex for simple methods enable background material becomes easier for the reader to accept.。

Many StatisticsD. Many Extended Simple SentencesE. Many Comparative StructuresF. Using the Words of Other Lands Extensively and Reflecting the EconomicSituation VividlyIV. Textual Structure Features of a Financial ReportV. ConclusionI. IntroductionFinancial reports bring abundant financial information for persons. Especially for businessmen, they need get the freshest financial information to help them running their business. Nowadays, more and more merchants appear in the international market, and they need to know global financial information by reading financial newspaper or watching financial programs. However, many financial reports are in English, so merchants have to face English financial reports. In this case, if a businessman wants to know commercial messages exactly and promptly, he can get the advantage by learning something about the linguistic features of English financial reports. Totally speaking, English financial reports are timely, objective and novel. Moreover, English financial reports have their own linguistic features.II. Vocabulary FeaturesA. Using Professional Words and TerminologiesIn order to ensure the exactitude of financial reports, there are many professional words and terminologies be used in the reports.Firstly, we can find many normal words have special meanings in financial reports. If we don’t know it, we couldn’t k now what the reports are talking about easily. For instance, the words long and short are a couple of distance antonym in our daily life, but they have other meanings when they appear in a financial report. In this situation, long means a bull on the stock exchange, and short means a short seller on the stock exchange. It’s very different to our normal use. There some other similar cases, such as call, put, rally etc. Call means the market prices are expected to rise, and put means the market prices are expected to fall.Secondly, English financial reports use a lot of terminologies. The terminologies can extend a large of information exactly and briefly for readers or audiences. For example, FOB means free on board, and the meaning of DAF is delivery at frontier. DEQ meansdelivered ex quay; DDU means delivery duty unpaid.B. Many Borrowed Words, Common Words and SlangEnglish financial reports often use some borrowed words slang or the expression to make sure the reports normal and novel. They also use some lively words. For instance, President Clinton said he is confident, Congress will approve…even as the plan continue to draw heavy fire from Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill. In this sentence, to draw heavy fire is slang, and it means suffering fierce attack.At the same time, Ortiz threw cold water on the idea advanced by several U.S. lawmakers…Threw cold water also is a common expression. The weak dollar … has hammered the earnings of the big exporters at the heart of Japan's economy. The word hammer means to hit something with a hammer. It’s a lively little word. Clinton has vowed to veto the bill on grounds that it is unfair to America's have-nots. Have-nots is a euphemism for poor, it’s usually as oral expression. The impasse has forced a partial government shutdown and the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal workers. The words impasse and furlough are French vocabulary.The other obvious characters of financial reports vocabulary is many common and figural words are used to describe the economic figure and the change of market. Readers or audiences often see description of market closing conditions:end high, low, down, steady, firm, soft, quite, mixed… Moreover, there are abundant verbs of price movement description. Here are some normal words of expressing rising and falling: jump (to rise quickly), skyrocket (to a very high level), surge (to suddenly increase in value), soar (rise very quickly), plunge (to decrease suddenly and quickly), and tumble (to fall rapidly in value or amount).III. Syntactic StructureIn linguistics, the functions of language in general can be divided into seven categories: informative, interpersonal function, performative, emotive function, phatic communion, recreational function, metalingual function. For purposes of financial reports,there is no doubt that its main function is informative. Comparing with normal news, financial reports are timelier. Otherwise it can not reflect the rapidly changing financial world and pass the information. So, they have many characters in syntax. They use many long sentences with the loose structure, and have many inserting components. They often use extended simple sentence and omit the relative pronouns in the noun clauses. Financial reports have many figures and compared structures.A. Long SentencesFor instance, World Bank Managing Director Richard Frank said in a statement that the $ 52 billion international rescue package assembled by the Clinton administration - which includes $ 17 billion from the International Monetary Fund - would meet Mexico's short-term financial crisis, which blew up after the government devalued the peso in December.In the sentence, there are apposition, parentheses and the attributive clause. These components are intended to add the relevant circumstances and information.B. Omitting ConjunctionAt the same time, because of the press of time, the temporary insertion of the clause omit the conjunction, and the relationship between the main s entence and the clause isn’t enough compact. So, financial reports have the colloquial feature. For example, The time for release of the statistics, normally in the afternoon, was moved up to 8:50 am., Ministry officials said, to allow Japanese markets to react first to the numbers, as is the practice in most industrialized countries. In this sentence the attributive clause normally in the afternoon equals to which is normally in the afternoon. And the appositive as is the practice in most industrialized countries equals to as that it is the practice in most industrialized countries. The omission of conjunctions makes the sentence tend to colloquial expression.C. Many StatisticsFinancial reports often relate to various economic data, market prices and otherrelevant statistics, and the comparison between these data or the reference is an important part of financial reports. Therefore, the comparing structures in sentences of English financial reports have a large of percent. For instance, they often use words like less, higher, lower, narrower, smaller etc. to connect reciprocal comparison. That was smaller than the $ 5.6 billion surplus economists had predicted.March Cotton closed 0.46 cent lower at 85.30 cent. They also use most advanced comparison and other connections such as the highest, the record high, the lowest etc. The Bundesbank cut its discount rate 3.5%, the lowest level in seven years.The number of workers in the United States applying for state unemployment benefits rose to the record high level in more than a month.. Some words connect the data comparison, to against, to opposite, to compare, to contrast, etc. Export surplus was 72.54 billion francs, compared with 47.71 billion francs in the same period a year earlier.The December T-bond futures ended today at 117-13/32 in Tokyo market against its previous closing of 117-11/32.D. Many Extended Simple SentencesIn order to transfer a large of information, English financial reports would use many extended simple sentences. In this case, a sentence can express much information. For example, NEW YORK - Stocks roared, with the technology-laden Nasdaq market posting its biggest gain ever, after the Federal Reserve threw a lifeline to Wall Street with an unexpected interest-rate cut to keep the w orld’s largest economy from slowing too much. We can find the basic structure of the sentence is a simple sentence, but it expanded this simple sentence by using clauses and prepositional phrases as modifiers. There are 40 words in the sentence, and it forms a paragraph with some parentheses, time adverbial clauses and purpose adverbials. These elements are intended to supplement the relevant circumstances and information. The reason is English financial reports haven’t too much time to refine language. So they usually insert many components. And with the technology-laden Nasdaq market posting its biggest gain ever is the parentheses. In the clause, there are 15 words guided by the word with,and the aim is to illustrate thepractice and the ultimate goal of the Fed. It is relative important information, but it’s not a separate sentence. It uses prepositional and object phrases as adverbial. Using a large number of simple sentences with long modifier compositions is a important feature of English financial reports.E. Many Comparative StructuresEnglish financial reports are different to the general news. Financial reports often involve price, percentage, total, average and other economic statistics, and comparisons between these data or reference can reflect the economic trend in a period time. The comparison is one of the important parts of English financial reports. Therefore, comparative structure in financial reports is in a large proportion, which also constitutes the third largest feature of financial reports in syntax. Comparative structure can be divided into three main types by the relationship of the two comparative sides.The first type is the unequal compare. It’s that one side is larger than the other side. Depending on the context, there are some available comparative of adjectives and adverbs include less, higher, lower, narrower, smaller, etc., which can lively and appropriately reflect the development trend of economic in different stages or different regions. The corn price in the corn-growing provinces in northeastern China is comparatively high, at 1,000 RMB (US $ 120.96) per ton in Heilongjiang, higher than those of harvests in 1999 and 2000.The second type is the most advanced of adjectives or adverbs are used as hedges to reach the effective of emphasis. The blue - chip Dow Jones industrial average climbed 299.60 points, or 2.81 percent, to 10,945.75, its eighth-largest point gain ever and its strongest close in two months.The last type is emphasizing the development of trends by the comparison of the two prepositions connection. Secretary Evans acknowledged that oil surplus capacity, which has dropped considerably compared with the 1980s and 1990s. (VOA Broadcast: January 25, 2003)F. Using the Words of Other Lands Extensively and Reflecting the EconomicSituation VividlyThe other prominent feature of English financial reports is using the words of other lands extensively and reflecting the economic situation vividly. It makes the abstract economic data and the change of market become concrete; just like a picture appear to you. It is not only enhance the readability of the article, but further enhance its memory function .For example, when a financial report describe the trend of a stock, it maybe use the sports vocabulary like jump, plunge, dive, etc., and the technology glossary such as skyrocket. It is very vivid. In addition, financial reports can be more integrated with true life by using the vocabulary of various fields such as music, science, military, etc., and can adapt to the different interest of readers. Shanghai shares dived yesterday to an almost three-month low ⋯. ⋯investors began to lose their bullish sentiment over the market's correction which started since the end of May.IV. Textual Structure Features of a Financial ReportThe same to general news, English financial reports also consists of three parts, Headline, Lead and Body. Headline is in a language form similar to telegraphic, it tells readers the main events and relevant information directly. Firstly, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, pronouns what have the function of limited syntax are usually omitted in the title. For example, EU Summit: Leaders Downplay, But Can’t Banish, EMU Strife, and the full expression of this title should be At the EU Summit the Leaders Downplay But They Cannot Banish the EMU Strife.Body is further to elaborate that the event, and to provide some necessary background material or knowledge. To achieve the effect of objective truth, English financial reports often use a large number of quotes. Here are some examples: Clinton-Bu dget Debate Will Now Begin “in ear nest”.Washington, Nov. 19 (Reuter) - President Bill Clinton said on Sunday that a deal between Congress and the White House to get federal workers back on the job was a“good thing”and will let the debate over how to balance the federal budget begin in earnest.“Tomorrow the government will go back to work and now the debate will begin in earnest on how to balance the budget in a way that is consistent with the interests and the values of the American people,” Clinton told reporters at the White House shortly after the deal was announced on Capitol Hill.Clinton reminded reporters he had expressed “strong doubts”that the seven-year timetable for balancing the budget could be realized. But he said he and congressional Republicans, who are demanding that timetable, had agreed to work “to see if we can reach common ground”. “Tonight represents the first sign of their willingness to move forward without forcing unacceptable cuts in health care, education and the environment on the American people,” he said.In addition to these direct quotes, the body of English financial reports has more indirect quotes. Such quotes are usually using some words to boot, such as say, express, tell, according to and so on. Asked about winners and losers in the power struggle that partially shut down the federal government for six days, Clinton said the real winners were the American people and the 800,000 federal workers who were to return to their jobs on Monday. All of these are designed to reflect the objectivity and authenticity of financial reports.V. ConclusionThe induction and analysis show that in addition to the features in general news, English financial reports also have special linguistics features in semantics, morphology, sentence potential, and discourse structure. Understanding the pragmatic features, readers are able to read, understand and master the English financial reports more easily.

浅谈英语财经新闻报道的语言特点

浅谈英语财经新闻报道的语言特点

一、引言从内容方面讲,财经报道(financial coverage)是有关经济、商业、金融和消费等各个方面的热点新闻,如股市走向、石油价格、货币汇率、黄金期货等问题的报道。

财经报道的主要功能是传递信息。

要想准确掌握财经报道所传递的及时信息,既要有一定的专业知识,还应该对这类报道的语言运用规律和特征有所了解。

由此,笔者以《金融时报》中文网站的双语阅读栏目为蓝本,从以下几方面对英语财经报道的语言特点进行概括。

二、词汇特点(一)大量使用专业术语英语财经报道属于专业性较强的新闻报道,因此,其词汇特征之一就是专业术语或专有名词多,具有其特殊含义。

例如:equity investment(股权投资)bridging loans(过桥贷款)promissory notes(本票)the hedge fund sector(对冲基金业)stock picking(选股)cashequities (现金股权)exchangetraded funds(交易型开放式指数基金)等等。

原文:Large corporations can usually obtain the funds they need for expansion from equity of bond issues. Many small and medium-size companies can not;and even large concerns may need bridging loans.译文:大公司通常能够通过发行证券或者债券获得扩张的资本,而很多中小型公司却没办法办到,甚至大公司也有可能需要过桥贷款。

“bridgingloan”是一个经济术语,其意思是“过桥贷款”或“搭桥贷款”,是指金融机构甲方拿到贷款项目之后,由于暂时缺乏资金没有运转能力,于是找金融机构乙方商量,让它帮忙发放资金,等甲方资金到位后,乙方则退出。

这笔贷款对于乙方而言,即过桥贷款。

结束语综上所述,英语报刊财经报道一方面具有报刊英语的基本特点,另一方面又具有很强的专业性。
可以说,把英语财经新闻写好,写“活”,是一门高妙的新闻写作艺术,其新闻语言能为广大受众所接受和喜爱,是财经报道写得到位的标志。为了调动读者的阅读兴趣,出于专业采写上的需要,英语财经报道在语言运用方面上自然表现出自己独有的特征。熟悉和了解这些语言特征有助于人们更及时、更有效地从英语报刊等传媒上获取有关财经信息。
WallStreettakesanosedive…’上例中的“WallStreet”和“Japaneseyen”以及“dollar”原本为无生命的东西,都被比拟为有生命的东西,故而才会出现“takeanosedive”,“”和“depredation”等形象性词语。
此例可直译为:华尔街股票直线下跌只有日元设法勇敢抵抗美元的冲击。又如:所谓“损失”惨重与否大多与投资者有关,股票本身无所谓损失,但本例中记者把股票比拟为“sufferers”,称它也是股市不景气的“受害者”,结果“werehithard”,从而给读者留下了过目难忘的影响。全句可理解为:普通股又一次受到严重影响,但损失最惨重的是小股息的股票。
大胆地译为“”。这种对原词语“保形取义”的翻译手法,基本上做到了与原文的形象喻义相似,转换比较成功,值得英语新闻工作者借鉴、推敲。
当然,通俗并不等于肤浅。通俗的财经报道里往往包含着颇有深度的新闻内容;而大段引用专业术语的财经报道会使读者难以看懂,也不一定就深刻。“话须通俗方传远,语必关风始动人。”任何新闻信息都需以通俗的表现形式才能达到广为传播的效果。而那种认为通俗就可以不去深挖主题的想法是错误的,浅尝辄止弄辞藻也是错误的。
具体说来,财经报道既有报刊英语的典型特点,又有其独特之处,主要表现在以下七个方面:以通俗的语言“翻译”专业术语英语报刊财经报道属于一种专业性较强的新闻报道,因此,其语言运用的特征之一就是专业术语或习语颇多,而且许多常用词往往被赋予特殊的含义,它们的意义一般只有在专业词典中才能找到。
例如,“harden”的常用词义是“”(变硬),而在财经报道(尤其是股市消息)中它的意思却是“increaseinprice”(市价上涨;坚挺)。又如,“close”常用词义是“shut”(关闭),而在财经报道中的意思多为“cometoanend”(收盘)。类似现象不胜枚举:long(多头),short(空头),call(看涨),put(看跌),rollback(回落),(回落),rebound(反弹),bottomout(触底反弹;探底欲升),inchup(攀升),climb(爬升),(下跌),dip(下跌),dump(狂泻;倾销),(传销),bluechip(蓝筹股;绩优股),(熊市),bullmarket(牛市),等等。如果不了解这些术语或习语在财经报道中的特殊含义,就可能无法彻底理解有关报道和信息。
英语报刊财经报道中有关表示升、降变化程度的常用词汇还可以下列图形表示,图形自左向右延伸,表示形容变化程度的词语由弱至强:
表达预测意义的方式多样英语报刊财经报道在描写经济贸易发展趋势时经常要根据过去和目前情况对未来趋势作出预测。
通常情况下,记者会在具体的财经报道中对未来的发展趋势作出三种预测,即十分有把握的(certain)预测、可能性较大的(probable)预测或可能性较小的(possible)预测,所用的表达方式自然也就有所不同。主要有以下三类:(十分有把握)Probable(很有可能)Possible(较有可能)。
各行各业都有自己的业务特点,外行人不易看懂,而记者不管报道哪个行业的新闻,都是为广大读者服务的。为此,英文报刊财经记者总是千方百计地让外行人都能看懂有关报道。怎样才能做到这一点呢?俗话说隔行如隔山,但是隔行不隔理。因此,记者在采写财经报道时,对专业性很强的术语通常需酌情做好“翻译”工作,即以通俗的语言,讲出通俗的道理,以此来弥补行业不同带来的障碍,如下列实例所示:
本文结合新闻英语文体特点,借助英语报刊实例等第一手资料,分析了英语报刊财经报道的七种语言特点。文章认为,财经报道的主要功能是传递信息,使用的新闻语言必须具体、精确和简练,在写作风格上既有新闻英语文体的典型特点,又有其独特之处。
顾名思义,财经报道(financialcoverage)是有关财政、经贸等问题的报道,包括工业、农业、经济、商业、金融和消费等各个方面。财经报道的主要功能是传递信息。及时了解、准确掌握英文财经报道的信息内容,除需具备一定的专业知识外,还应该对这类报道的语言运用规律和特征有所认识。首先,财经报道所使用的新闻语言必须具体,不宜用抽象的概念。对于财经报道来说,语言具体更具有特别重要的意义。财经报道要传递经济信息,而局外人往往对这方面的知识知道得不多。
如果语言抽象,许多外行读者就不能正确理解新闻内容,就会不知所云,陷入“隔行如隔山”的慨叹和苦恼之中。相反,具体的语言能够显示出充实的内容,能够帮助人们读懂财经报道。其次,财经报道所使用的新闻语言必须精确。所谓精确就是对新闻事实的性质、程度、空间、时间的叙述、描写要准确无误,不能含糊其词,不能模棱两可,不能夸大也不能缩小。新闻报道中遣词造句的精确性,不但使报道更加清晰,便于理解,而且也可以赢得读者的信任。如果新闻记者在用语方面不精确,读者就可能怀疑他在报道事实方面也有差错。可见,语言的精确不仅对于新闻的可读性意义重大,对于新闻的可信性关系也很重大。再次,财经报道所使用的新闻语言必须简练。财经新闻基本上属于“硬新闻”,时效性强,要求报道迅速及时,这一特性决定了财经报道的新闻语言要简明扼要、直截了当。英语报刊上财经报道的版面有限,读者的时间宝贵,因此财经报道所使用的新闻语言必须挤掉“水分”(padding),短小精悍。
“解释”数据英语报刊财经新闻时常要接触到数字,但是,数字毕竟是一种抽象化了的概念,读者对数字的接受能力又受到行业不同的限制。所以在财经报道中,数字不可不用,也不可无选择地乱用。有的可单用,有的需通过比较连起来用;有的可直接使用,有的需折算后使用。一句话,在财经报道中,如果能恰到好处地使用数字,会使报道增色不少。相反,倘若记者仅仅把数据简单地一一罗列出来,新闻报道便会显得过于沉闷,枯燥不堪。为此,记者需对有关数据进行灵活的“解释”,从而使干巴巴的数字变成看得见、摸得着、通俗易懂的实物。“解释”数字的常见手段主要有:
对比性动词简短有力、生动形象财经报道时常采用对比的手法来描述经济发展势头,是呈增长抑或下降趋势,记者往往不掺杂任何意见,旨在使报道客观、可信。但在措词方面,记者往往偏爱选用简短有力、生动形象的词语,避免重复使用诸如“increase”,“decrease”等表示升、降之义的词,给枯燥的经济信息增添可读性、趣味性。若描述经济增长势头,除了单一地使用increase之外,还灵活采用其他相关的动词、名词或词组。常用词或词组包括:等。相反,若描述财经形势呈下降趋势,除经常使用“decrease”外,还偏爱选用动词或词组如以及相应的名词或词组。现抄录原始资料各一则:
灵活使用约估性词语新闻英语强调遵循所谓的ABC原则,即(准确),brevity(简洁)和clarity(清晰),其中accuracy更是至关重要,是新闻真实、客观、可信的保证与前提。然而,财经新闻由于所报道的内容涉及许多经济信息、统计数字,有些统计数据的原始资料详尽无比,精确到万分之几,如果把这样精确的统计数据都如实无误地报道出来,难免会使文章索然无味。为此,记者往往对数据先化整为零,再加上一些约估性字眼(roundfigures),以便使他们的报道留有一定的余地。常见的约估性词语包括:等。这类约估词语在报刊英语中俯拾即是,仅举三则实例,以资佐证:—简言之,英语报刊财经新闻中描写经贸发展趋势时使用的约估词语可以下表归纳:
表达比较意义的语法手段多样传播经济信息的文字常较枯燥、单一,为此,英语财经报道经常借助于多种语法手段对发展趋势进行比较,从而有机地把枯燥的统计数字和信息揉和在一起。
数据本身是不会说话的,惟有记者在报道中巧妙地加以处理之后,才有可能使之清晰可辨,具有说服力。其中,记者惯用的处理手法之一,就是灵活借助形容词的比较级和最高级形式。请看其在英语报刊中的实际用例:当然,英语报刊上的财经报道并非一味机械地使用形容词的比较级和最高级形式,久而久之,会令人生厌,报道的可读性也会随之大打折扣。有鉴于此,英语财经记者还善于巧妙地选用一些表示程度的形容词或副词(词组),或与前文所述的对比性动词连用,或与形容词的比较级和最高级形式糅合在一起。当财经发展趋势较大或较快时,英语财经报道一般选用等词语;相反,若发展趋势较小或较慢时则多用等。其见于原版报刊的用例如下:
由此看来,要把财经报道写得引人入胜,与其绞尽脑汁搜寻华丽的辞藻,不如在上述两类传神达意、简短有力的词语上巧下功夫,给人以具体、形象、生动、真实的感觉。
酌情采用拟人手法拟人是把没有生命的东西或生物当做人来看待,赋予各种“物”以人的言行或思想感情,从而给读者留下深刻的印象。英语财经报道为了加强新闻语言的形象表达,提高消息生动性和趣味性,还经常酌情采用拟人这一修辞手法,使读者感到原本可能艰涩费解的财经新闻中的内容也颇有亲切感,从而激发他们的阅读兴趣。例如:
“beancurdprojects,”此例中的“beancurdprojects”显然是指时见中文报端新词语“豆腐渣工程”。所谓“豆腐渣”工程,指偷工减料建成的、质量低劣得犹如“豆腐渣”一般的建筑工程[2:91]。英语中较为接近的对应词为“jellybuiltproject”,虽然有了原语的基本意思,但原语中的形象色彩荡然无存了;而且,对读者来说,这一词语未必十分通俗常用。为此,美国《国际先驱论坛报》在一篇有关中国经济发展状况的报道中,就借助“直译+意译”的翻译手法,把“豆腐渣工程”
化大数据为小数据财经新闻要传播经济领域中的新情况、新动态,就会涉及到一些专业性较强的报道题目。反映在写作上,财经新闻往往要报道数字,有时甚至是天文数字。一般说来,单位量越大,数字也越大;单位量越小,数字也越小。从读者对数字的接受能力来看,数字越小越容易理解,容易记住。
