新闻报道要看读者对象。作为外国记者,要把中国的社会发展、人民生活的变化介绍出去,就格外要注意让外国人看得懂、看得明白。近读拉美社驻北京记者写的消息《大白菜进京城》(载《参考消息》1995年11月3日第一版),就是一则落笔处处为读者的好新闻。 这篇220来字的新闻,段落清晰、文字简洁。可以看出这样一些写作特色: 第一、极强的新闻敏感性。在北京,年年临近冬季都要储存大白菜,对国内读者来说这已习以为常,但拉美社这位记者没有熟视无睹,他从第一批大白菜将运进北京捕捉到了新闻,在外国人看来这有新闻性。这就是导语中开门见山点明的事实:“北京人餐桌上的当家菜——2.8亿公斤大白菜”、“其中第一批今天开始在3000多个农贸市场上市”。导语中的两个巨大的数字,对拉美国家是令人惊奇和感兴趣的,人口众多的北京菜量消耗何其大也！ News reports depends on the audience. As a foreign journalist, it is necessary to pay special attention to making foreigners understand and understand clearly the changes in China’s social development and people’s life. A recent reading of the message from the Latin American correspondent in Beijing that “Chinese cabbage goes to the capital” (“Reference News”, first edition, November 3, 1995) is a good news for readers everywhere. This 220 words to the news, paragraphs clear, concise text. It can be seen that some of the writing features: First, a strong news sensitivity. In Beijing, it is customary for domestic readers to store Chinese cabbage every winter, but the reporter from Latin American Society did not turn a blind eye to this. He captured the news from the first batch of Chinese cabbages to be sent to Beijing. From a foreigner perspective Here’s news. This is the straightforward fact in the introductory speech: “Beijingers’ table-top dishes - 2.28 billion kg of cabbage” and “the first batch of them is now being launched in more than 3000 farmer’s markets.” Two huge numbers in the lead language are surprising and interesting to Latin American countries. The large population of Beijing dishes consume so much!
