摘要

 新聞是最新事實的報道。它在大眾傳媒中自然扮演著一個很重要的角色，即吸引觀眾的注意并向之傳送正在發生的事件的信息。從語言上說，新聞英語文體屬于普通英語，即標準英語的主體層，但是它的詞匯、標題和概括性導語又具有特別鮮明的特點，即新穎、生動、緊揍。
    人們使用語言，總有一定的目的，總想產生一定的效果，這就是語言的功能。在翻譯的過程中,譯者應力求使譯語產生與原語相等的效果，具有使之對等的功能。具體說來，新聞英語的功能主要在于傳遞信息，其次在于吸引讀者，即新聞英語的主要功能是信息功能，其次為說服功能。為此，對于其中新穎的詞匯、生動的標題和緊湊的概括性導語，必須特別注意如實地再現，才能使譯文做到與原文功能對等。
 本文是從原語的功能出發，分析原語的三個方面的語言特點是如何實現新聞的信息功能和說服功能的；以功能對等為原則指導翻譯，以大量的例子具體分析這三個方面各自的翻譯方法和步驟。

  Abstract
 News as journalism is a genre of publicizing latest events．"it informs us of what is going on in the world at large. In the media it is an important commodity as well as a way of attracting audience keen to be informed of the events taking place in the world in which they live”（Rayner,2001：215)
 Roughly speaking, journalistic English or news English belongs to general English, i.e., the main part of Standard English．(cf. Liu Miqing,1998：1）The language used in journalistic English fulfills the informative function and the persuasive function with the former as the primary and the latter as the secondary. These two functions are typically reflected in three aspects: journalistic neologisms, headlines and summary leads. In short, this paper discusses the translation of journalistic English in these three aspects.
