3.How did the English newspapers reported?吳亦凡事件,英文報(bào)紙?jiān)趺磮?bào)道?
USA TODAY《今日美國(guó)》:Chinese-Canadian pop star Kris Wu arrested on suspicion of rape
The Guardian《衛(wèi)報(bào)》:Pop star Kris Wu arrested in Beijing on suspicion of rape
South China Morning Post:Singer Kris Wu charged with rape in China
按照英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法,“被批捕”“被控”應(yīng)該有be動(dòng)詞來(lái)表示被動(dòng),比如,“Kris Wu was arrested.”但英文標(biāo)題中,be動(dòng)詞都省略了,這是為什么呢?
1.新聞標(biāo)題必須brief with key words(短小精悍),這樣才能catch the readers’ attention(吸引讀者的注意),and more people want to read it.
2.在紙媒時(shí)代,版面寸土寸金。
所以,新聞標(biāo)題里,很多冠詞、系動(dòng)詞等常常被省略(left out),這是新聞標(biāo)題的一種特色。
