Unit 4 Making the news
英语
主题语境·导入
我们每天都看报纸,但是你知道一份报纸是怎么产生的吗?
Newspapers,whether small-town weeklies or big city dailies,are business enterprises.As such they are divided administratively into several departments headed by the publisher.These include business offices that deal with subscriptions,circulation,classified ads and advertising.
英语
Most newspapers have several editorial departments,each responsible for different sections of the paper.The editor in chief and assistants are responsible for editorials and the overall policy.There are also editors in charge of such specialized departments as sports,finance,society,correspondence,science and education.
The news editor assigns stories to reporters and writers.The picture editor has a staff of photographers.All the masses of information that flow into a newspaper from various sources must be assessed,checked and possibly rewritten.
英语
Everything to be published in a newspaper,whether it comes over news service wires or is written in house,goes through the hands of subeditors or copyreaders.They prepare copy for printing;correct spelling,grammar and usage according to specific style guidelines;
trim it to its allotted space;and write the headlines.
Many articles have by-lines(作者署名行):they are signed by the reporters who write them.Others are unsigned or credited to a news service.
英语
短文注释:
1.enterprise n.企业;事业心
2.circulation n.流通;发行量
3.policy n.政策
4.staff n.职员;工作人员
5.trim vt.修剪;整理
6.Everything to be published in a newspaper,whether it comes over news service
wires or is written in house,goes through the hands of subeditors or
copyreaders.
本句是一个复合句,主句主语是everything,谓语是goes through,宾语是the hands of subeditors or copyreaders。to be published in a newspaper是动词不定式作后置定语。whether it comes over news service wires or is written in house是让步状语从句。
在报纸上发表的一切,无论是来自新闻服务热线或在房间里写的,都要经过副主编或编辑的手。
