英文财经报道的特点—句法结构, 最好的小作文参考曲线图的描写句式!

为了突出新闻报道的及时性和全面性，记者需要在尽快短的时间内发出尽量多的消息。因此，由于没有太多的时间进行语言上的推敲，所以英文财经报道中的句子偏长，结构比较松散，插入成分也通常比较多。例如：“…World Bank Managing Director Richard Frank said in a statement that the $52 billion international rescue package assembled by the Clinton administration--which includes $17 billion from the International Monetary Fund--would meet Mexico’s short-term financial crisis, which blew up after the government devalued the peso in December.”，这一句子中有同位语、插入语及定语从句，这些成分都是为了补充说明相关的情况和消息。

其次，由于发稿时间紧迫，临时插入的从句省略了连接词，显得与主句的关系不够紧凑。有口语化的特点。例如：“The time for release of the statistics, normally in the afternoon, was moved up to 8:50 a.m.., ministry officials said, to allow Japanese markets to react first to the numbers, as is the practice in most industrialized countries.”，这句话中的定语从句“normally in the afternoon”=“which is normally in the afternoon”,同位语“as is the practice in most industrialized countries”=as that it is the practice in most industrialized countries”,连接词的省略使得句子更倾向于口语的表达方式。

另外，财经报道经常涉及各类经济数据、市场价格及其它有关的统计数字，这些数据之间的比较或参照是财经报道的重要组成部分。因此，比较结构在英文财经报道的句型中占有很大的比例。例如：

以less/higher/lower/narrower/smaller等连接的不对等比较：

That was smaller than the $5.6 billion surplus economists had predicted.

March Cotton closed 0.46 cent lower at 85.30 cent.

以highest/record high/lowest等连接的最高级比较：

The Bundesbank cut its discount rate 3.5%, the lowest level in seven years.

The number of workers in the United States applying for state unemployment benefits rose to the record high level in more than a month.

以against/opposite/compare/contrast等连接的数据对比：

Export surplus was 72.54 billion francs, compared with 47.71 billion francs in the same period a year earlier.

The December T-bond futures ended today at 117-13/32 in Tokyo market against its previous closing of 117-11/32.
