巧用标点符号编译网络科技新闻标题

E-C Translation of Headlines of Network News of Science and Technology by Using Punctuation

笔者对比分析了200条美国《纽约时报》刊发的科技新闻标题,以及《环球网》刊发的汉语标题,发现《纽约时报》网站刊发的科技新闻标题大量使用标点符号,新颖别致,而《环球网》刊发的相同内容的汉语标题却较少使用标点符号,韵味缺失。编译者巧妙地使用引号、问号、叹号、空隔号、逗号,或将两个以上标点符号组合使用,可以使新闻标题具有准、佳、妙的特征。

By a contrastive analysis of 200 English headlines of news of science and technology from the websiteof New York Times and of the Chinese news headlines from the website of Huanqiu, we find that the punctuationsused in English news headlines are more frequent than in Chinese news headlines. The translator-editor canproperly use quotation marks, question mark, exclamation mark, space, comma, or use the combination of morethan two punctuations to make the headlines smooth, wonderful, and unique.
