Literature Review

Chen Shaoxin mentioned in the News English Discourse that we can make full use of the cultural characteristics of words to convey a variety of information.The words in English news texts usually give people a sense of cutting-edge fashion, and highlight the textual features of news English through special forms such as paraphrase and extension.

Chen Kai's analysis of news English often uses a variety of rhetorical devices to promote the interest and vividness of news English and ensure that news English is transmitted in a flexible, open and vivid image.Traditional rhetoric such as metaphor, personification, allusion, parody and puns are often used to promote the dissemination effect of news to a great extent.

Wang Yibo elaborates on the characteristics of news English vocabulary and lists several common vocabulary usages in news English, such as the use of small words, abbreviations, figurative words, borrowed words and so on.

Xu Jun. Listed the selection of news English methods in translation theory, such as literal translation and free translation, a brief analysis of literal translation and free translation, word addition and subtraction, and annotation.News translators should make flexible choices according to the actual needs, and combine the differences between the two languages in translation to achieve the ultimate goal of idiomatic translation.In addition, in news translation, we only explain a certain event or person, and we do not know much about the location, background and other information involved.Therefore, in translation, it is necessary to properly "add translation" to supplement relevant introductory and annotative words, especially for some exclusive historical events, geographical names or terms of professional institutions that Chinese people do not know well. In translation, it is necessary to explain them so as to facilitate people's understanding.

Li Zi put forward in her study of English translation strategies: in English news, we can call it "hypotaxis" when we use syntax and semantics to communicate information, and we can call it "parataxis" when we use lexical means to communicate between different languages.In the process of translation, can be more or less to get rid of too much logic expression, integrated into the overall for English language sense perception, to make scientific adjustment to the sentence structure, sentence for the whole feels to arrange and plan as a whole, tries to systematically organize, as much as possible to meet Chinese expression and cognition.

There is a great difference between English and Chinese in the static and dynamic aspects.English does not use many verbs, while Chinese usually uses a large number of verbs to directly explain and express the meaning of the action.Therefore, in the news English discourse, we often see the "nominalization" of verbs, which can not only express a verb cleverly and naturally, but also change "static" into "dynamic" simply and conveniently.

Wang Yanyan mentioned in her analysis that English and Chinese are different in complex and simple ways of expression.Different from Chinese expression, which tends to be simplified, English discourse is often accompanied by the use of a large number of logical connectives, which makes the originally simple English expression become complicated and complex, presenting relatively long sentence expression.Under the requirements and effects of this characteristic, we should pay attention to the compound and simple sentence structure in English translation.

Liu Qizhong mentioned in detail the skills and strategies of news translation in his published course book on news translation.This course introduces the characteristics, methods, process, standards and so on of news translation

Huang Peiwen points out that translation techniques should try to reproduce the rhetorical features of the original text and reflect the color of the original text.Many news headlines not only attract attention for their conciseness, but also effectively convey some subtle hidden information by using various rhetorical techniques, and make readers enjoy the beauty in meaning, sound and form.In addition, the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, in the translation should pay attention to reflect the color of the original text, respect the original text, when the original text has metaphor or metaphor and other rhetorical methods, we should carefully consider the most accurate words corresponding to the Chinese, so that the translated article can better reflect the original color.

Zhang Jian put forward that news English emphasizes the correctness of language. When translating, workers can add logical subjects as appropriate, or introduce the background of news, nationality of news characters and location of news.We should use annotations flexibly, not only taking into account the similarities and differences between Chinese and English news, but also adding some introductory and explanatory words to facilitate readers' understanding and avoid misunderstanding.

With the rapid development of global information, English has become the world's common language for people all over the world to communicate with each other.English is one of the most widely used international languages in the world. It is widely used in all countries and regions and serves as a bridge of communication between different cultures.Reading English for information has gradually become an important channel for people to understand international news and cultural background.

News English is an important platform for people to obtain international information.News English, as a special applied language, is the main way for Chinese readers to understand the world.In order to ensure the accuracy of information, news English translation has undertaken an important mission.However, due to the great differences in language, culture and ideology between China and the West, there are some difficulties in the translation of news English. Therefore, relevant journalists should actively understand the characteristics of news English and study the skills and strategies of news English translation on this basis, so as to better serve the society.

News English is different from other literary styles in terms of lexical functions, and its vocabulary is very rich.Stylistically, the wording of news English titles is short and pithiness. Slight words, abbreviations or short words are often used, and rhetorical devices such as metaphors and puns are used to enhance visual effects and eye-catching degree. The vocabulary has obvious news color, that is, phrases and abbreviations are often used.

In terms of grammar, news English uses less past tense and more present tense, in order to give readers a fresh, vivid and novel feeling.More active voice, less passive voice;Try to avoid negative sentences, double negative sentences and other words that are easy to cause misunderstanding. Attributive sentences, appositive words, participle phrases, prepositional phrases and so on will be used to expand single sentences to simplify the sentence structure and enrich the content at the same time.

   

In terms of language style, in order to improve readers' interest in reading, the language style of news English is generally full of interest and novelty.News is oriented to people of different educational levels, so in order to meet their needs, news English also has popular characteristics;Still have the characteristic such as the thrifty sex to save space in addition.

News English translators also need from the translation of journalistic English discourse and strategies, the two aspects of all-round, multi-angle analysis of Chinese and western cultural differences and the effects of English translation work, and see the discourse features and translation strategies on the impact of news English, from the word use of news English, analyzing its vocabulary characteristics such as finely, accurate understanding the original text and use the appropriate translation methods and skills strategy, and gives some good news propaganda effect, thus promote the better development of the industry news English.
