新闻英语的标题
新闻标题除了使用缩写词外，还经常运用节缩词。节缩词，亦称简缩词，通过“截头去尾”的方法将一些常用的名词、形容词等截短或缩短，其宗旨同样是为了节省标题字数。如：
graduate(毕业生)--grad；hospital(医院)--hosp；billion(十亿)--bn；percent(百分比)--pc；cigarette(香烟)--cig
请看几则实例：
WEEKLY MAG FOR STAMP LOVERS TO BE LAUNCHED[MAG＝magazine(杂志)]集邮周刊即将发行
NEW GROUPS BOOST HI-TECH RESEARCH[HI—TECH＝High Technology(高新技术)]新兴集团推动高新技术研究
这类节缩词不仅在标题中广泛使用，以节省篇幅，而且还时常出现在新闻报道的行文中。有时，这类词汇很难在词典中查到，现再汇列一些常见诸英语报端的这类节缩词，供读者读报时对照、查考：
Aussie＝Australian(澳大利亚的)biz＝business(商业)champ＝champion(冠军)con＝convict(罪犯)deli＝delicatessen(熟食)expo＝exposition(博览会)homo＝homosexual(同性恋)lib＝liberation(解放)pro＝professional(专业的；职业的)rep＝representative(代表)Russ＝Russia(俄罗斯)Sec＝secretary(秘书)chute＝parachute(降落伞)copter＝helicoPter(直升机)nat'l＝national(全国的)com'l＝commercial(商业的；广告)c'tee＝committee(委员会)C'wealth＝Commonwealth(英联邦)telly＝television(电视机)tech＝technology(技术)pix＝pictures(电影)vet＝veteran(老兵；老手)vic＝victory(胜利)
