與普通新聞報(bào)道的結(jié)構(gòu)一樣，英文財(cái)經(jīng)新聞報(bào)道也通常由三部分組成，即標(biāo)題（Headline）、導(dǎo)語（Lead）和正文（Body）。標(biāo)題的閱讀技巧冠詞基本省略。如:ChinatoAcquireOverseasStakeforSecondTime.（ChinaIstoAcquireOverseasStakefortheSecondTime.）中國再次在海外購買股份。標(biāo)題的閱讀技巧聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞通常省略。如:ThreeDeadafterInhalingOvenGas.(ThreeAreDeadafterInhalingOvenGas.)吸入爐灶煤氣三人窒息身亡。標(biāo)題的閱讀技巧助動(dòng)詞通常省略。如:IndiaMendingFences.(IndiaIsMendingFences.)印度正在改善與鄰國的關(guān)系。。標(biāo)題的閱讀技巧縮略詞。既節(jié)省標(biāo)題詞數(shù)，又能更好地提示新聞內(nèi)容，讀起來簡潔易記。英語新聞標(biāo)題中出現(xiàn)的縮寫詞主要分為三類:

①組織機(jī)構(gòu)等專有名稱，如:EU=EuropeanUnion（歐洲聯(lián)盟）。

②常見事物的名稱，如:DJI=Dow-JonesIndex(道·瓊斯指數(shù))

③.表示人們的職業(yè)、職務(wù)或職稱的名詞，如:VIP=VeryImportantPerson(貴賓;要人)。

仔細(xì)閱讀導(dǎo)語

導(dǎo)語要求圍繞著新聞報(bào)道的五大基本要素———who（人物），what（事件），where（地點(diǎn)），when（時(shí)間），why（原因）或how（進(jìn)展）———用極其精煉的語言把事件的過程和真相一語道破。從某種意義上說，新聞導(dǎo)語乃是一篇完整新聞報(bào)道的濃縮形式。例如閱讀材料1-2：

BeijingwillfinallystartallowingforeigncompaniestolistinChina,reflectingitsambitionstoopenupthecountry'sfinancialsectorandtransformShanghaiintoaninternationalfinancialcentre.請(qǐng)?jiān)倏撮喿x材料4-2的導(dǎo)語及其與下文的關(guān)系。
