时态特征

一、陈述

1直接陈述

⑴ Earnings growth has accelerated in recent years.

⑵ That expansion reached a new high in the first quarter.

⑶ A youth revolt is upending Italian politics.

⑷ Davis has spent just 4hours in eu talks.

⑸ Mr Flannery is creating a smaller and leaner core that will focus on strategy.

⑹ Mr Davis and Michel Barner met in London in February.

新闻陈述的内容大致有两种，一是已经发生的事，二是还未发生，但是有消息透漏即将将发生的，因此，陈述的时态基本是过去时和将来时。

在过去时中，作者会采取两种处理方法，或单纯对发生的事件进行报道，或联系新闻事件主体的过去表现综合进行报道。前者用一般过去时，后者用现在完成时。举个例子，一家公司股票大跌，这时作者可以单纯的叙述股价暴跌这个事实，也可以综合该公司以往的业绩表现。

2引用

⑴“France which is not a country of first arrival，will not ope such controlled centers ”

⑵“Yesterday ，we saw what happens when someone tries to impose a veto on everything and how unpleasant it was ”

⑶“Hopefully people will understand Russian is not just the people who take foreign policy decisions ”

⑷“We have had six months where markets have been in a noisy sideways pattern ”

⑸“The future of the industry is in definite jeopardy. ”said George Flint

间接引用中，被引用者评论的可以是过去，现在，未来，可以带主观情感，可以相对客观。因此，时态多种多样，不一而

二、评论

1 Earnings growth is expected at 19% in the second quarter，21% in

the third quarter.

2 A peak in earning growth does not always signal that rallies are about to fizzle.

3 Many new engine technologies are unlikely to find their way into other types of vehicles.

4 Events this month seem to signal the end of the era，

5 Once again，the death knell is sounding for conglomerates，.

6 GE may one day consider the time has come to branch out again.

7 There are obvious problems with these ideas.

8 There will never be a magic solution.

9 What then are the possible sources of an adverse hit to growth？

評论，即对某一事件的评价论断，它可以反映评论者对此事件的反应，看法；也可以使评论者对未来的猜测。因为是立足于当下的评论，因此，从时态上看，多为一般现在时和一般将来时。

一般将来时的表现形式多种多样，可以是以will， be going to do引导的；可以是may might could这类带有情态动词的句子，可以是用现在进行时表示将来时态，也可以带有probably be unlikely to这种明显标志词。

Of结构

1 a sign of the charged fortunes of Israels rightwing scatter movement.

2 a Trump administration policy of

3 a condition of its international bailout.

新闻的简洁性要求新闻必须要以最简洁的语言表达出主谓宾最基本的逻辑关系，然后在这个基础上添枝加叶，这里的枝和叶就是定语，状语等结构。

借助英语中定语从句，同位语结构，介词短语我们可以修饰新闻中的人物，事件等。这样新闻的语言层次就更丰富了。

二、状语结构

时间状语从句

1This week global share market swooned as the prospect of sino -American trade war intensified.

2While ructions over trade war have created economy noise to interfere with the clear signals.

3When Italy descended into a crippling recession，he felt betrayed by the traditional Italian left-wing parties.

三、宾语结构

2 Industry officials say companies are unlikely to abandon their innovations，

3 Their German chancellor said she had concluded bilateral arrangements with Greece and Spain.

4 Mr Barner yesterday warned that huge and serious differences have to be overcome in exit talks，

5 Officials speculated that the MHP might be given control of a key ministry.

7 The supreme recent discussion shows that how high stakes are.

8 I am not sure how likely this is.

9 I am confident that we would all benefit from this business.

10 The federal reserve indicated that on web net it expects to raise interst rates.

常見的宾语从句有以下几种：

a主语是人，谓语是say，warn，suggest，reject，agree，speculate，insist等表示说的动词。

b主语是事，谓语是reflect，show，indicate等分析现象的评论性动词。

c主语是人，谓语是be concerned about，be sure of，be confident about

等表示心理状态的动词。

四、物做主语

1 Goldman Sachs（高盛投资公司）bankers have been investing the firms money in start ups.

2 The result laid bare a stark generation gap.

3 The same patterns appear across Southern Europe.

4 The Fed banned Deutsches US holding company.

6 Amazon ramps up pla to disrupt pharmacy.

7 Global equity funds experienced a weekly record of 8.1billion.

在以上的例子中我们可以看到，在新闻英语中，除了人，公司，结果，状态，都可以做主语。

我们重点分析组织充当主语的情况，在例子1，4，6，7中，都是组织做主语，看似物做主语，其实不然，组织是有很多人组成的，这里的组织类似一个集合名词，考虑到新闻的简洁，编辑者往往用公司名称直接代表这些成员，新奇有趣。
