英语资讯标题总是力求用有限的字数来表达资讯的内容,为此,在措词上尤其要狠下功夫,选词尽可能经济达意、简短明了,偏爱选用那些短小精悍或字母最少的动词。这是因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强资讯的简洁性和可读性,而且还能节省版面篇幅。如表示“破坏或“损坏一词意义的动词,标题一般不用damage,而用一些较之简短的词,如hit,harm,hurt, ruin或wreck等。又如表示“放弃这一概念的动词,标题一般不用abandon,而用drop,give up,quit,skip或yield 等,表示“爆炸之类的动词意义时,一般不用 explode,而用blast,crash, ram或smash等词。简而言之,英语资讯标题大都喜欢选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比较广泛的词。
这类动词在标题中屡见不鲜,读者平时阅读时不妨多加留意,这对于提高英语水平,尤其是熟悉英语同义动词,无疑是大有裨益的。为便于读者更好地理解英语资讯标题,现再列举一些常见诸报端的标题小词,以备不时之需:
