记者英文采访过程中的常用句型
□ 王卫明 熊婧婧 沈栋琴 纪佩吉①
随着对外开放的不断深入,中国记者采访外国人的机会越来越多,采访外国人的需要也比以往更为迫切,大多数记者都可能遇到采访外国人的情形,这时,“使用英语这一国际通用语言进行采访”便成为许多新闻记者希望掌握或需要掌握的本领。
但是,目前国内的新闻教育(包括《英语新闻》和《英美报刊选读》课程在内),缺乏对有关英语采访知识的介绍,在网上也难以检索到直接可用的资料。因此,相当多的记者(即使英语口语特别好)在采访外国人过程中颇为尴尬,不知道如何用英文表达某些语句,因此丧失采访良机。经过对真实采访案例的分析及翻译,我们归纳出英文采访过程中的常用句型和语句,供各位记者参考、仿用。
(一)采访初始
电视台的演播室采访或电话连线采访,开始时可以这样说: 1)Good to have you with us,Sir/Ms. 记者采访外国人时,如果觉得用英语对话有难度时,记者可以首先询问被采访者是否懂中文,如果被访者懂中文那采访自然更顺利。记者可以这样说:
1)Can you speak Chinese?
2)Can we talk with each other in Chinese?
(二)采访新闻诸要素
采访的基本内容包括5个“W”和一个“H”(即 What, When, Why, Where, Who, How?)对这几个关键问题,常见的提问句型有:
关于Who,可以这样问: 1)Who is involved in ? ? 例句:Who is involved in it? 2)Who benefited from ? ? 3)Who suffered from ? ? 4)Who made ? ?
关于What,可以这样问: 1)What is the current status of ? ? 2)What’s your opinion of ? ?
3)what kinds of ? can you share? 4)What is similar to ? ?
5)What time do you usually ? ? ①
