9、tence before, to develop a habit, it is met dont place not too understand stop to think, to listen to.a paragraph didnt understand, there are several possible reasons, perhaps have never learned the words, or （一）尽量先以自己熟悉的语言了解新闻内容刚到 ICRT 国内新闻中心上班的外籍记者，虽然多半中文程度并不差，但是有时候新闻中文并不强，在翻译或阅读一些中文的新闻稿时，虽然可以查单字，

10、但要完全了解整体的意思，往往有些困难。发生这样的状况，我会建议他们先去看英文报纸的同样一则新闻，透过自己的母语，了解其中的来龙去脉，再回来看中文稿时，本来以为很复杂的内容，就变得简单多了。同样的，在进行当天的英文新闻学习前，先从中文的媒体了解当天主要的国际或国内新闻内容，在听英文新闻时，就容易多了。当然，这是在学习期间，过了入门的阶段，就不需要了。（二）掌握各类新闻英语的有限单字世界之广，事件之多，大部分的人一定认为，要掌握新闻英语的相关单字，恐怕好几千个，要背完一整本的新闻字库，才有办法听懂。这个想法似乎很合逻辑，但是其实有个极大的错误，从政治新闻到娱乐新闻，当然很可能有几千个单字，但是相关

11、的单字每几个月，甚至每几年才出现一次，就是所谓的rarely used vocabulary（罕见单字），例如：multilateral currency realignment（跨国货币调整）或planned obsolescence（计划的陈废），如果连这些也要背，那可真是不得了。幸好，每天新闻会遇到的单字，八成五以上，都是我们称为的commonly used vocabulary （常用单字）。换言之，只要你能掌握这五、六百个重复出现的单字（也就是本书所介绍的字汇），就可以听懂八成五以上的新闻。其它一些较专门的财经或科学等新闻字汇，等主要的单字会了之后，再慢慢的增加难度。（三）遇到听不懂

12、的地方不要去想它，继续听下去你一定有个经验，在听英语新闻或英语节目时，遇到一个你不会的字或没听清楚的段落，就开始想它的意思，往往造成接下来的内容全都没听清楚。所谓一心不能二用，绝不可以在听的同时，边想前一句的意思，要养成一个习惯，那就是遇到不太懂的地方不要停下来思考，专心听下去。某个段落没听懂，可能的原因有几个，也许有个没学过的单字，或有较特殊的句型，也许主播播报的速度一时加快，甚至自己分心没听好。无论原因是什么，不管它就继续听下去，还是有可能将主要内容听懂，因为九成的时候，漏掉一点，不会是关键到让你无法连接下面的意思，但是如果思维卡在前一句，肯定全军覆没。但如果另外那一成确实是关键呢？要是有

13、空，可以上网找相关内容的新闻，了解一下是否有关键单字或内容较不熟悉，如果是重要新闻，一般来讲不会报一次就不报了，可以收听当天其它整点新闻的播报，也许还可以听到同样的新闻，也许听第二次就完全了解了！（四）不要太在乎特殊难懂的人名及地名2000 年初夏，裴济发生某事件，没多久就宣布戒严令，军方的领导人，头衔连姓名叫Fiji military commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama，每次我播报新闻，念到这里时，都差点要吃螺丝。想一想，连我都要花时间先练习这些较难念的名字，而听众听我播报，三秒就过去了，难怪有人对这些外国人名及地名叫苦连天。遇到这样的状况时，该怎么办呢？别理它吧！说实话，我自己听 BBC 或 CNN 的新闻，也常常听到不太熟悉的人名或地名，如某国家的人，也许我没听过，很可能听完新闻你再问我，我也答不出来他的名字，但是多半时候对了解新闻内容并不影响，我只要知道他是某国的国会领导人就够了。再如俄罗斯南部某个难念的小城镇发生什么事，清楚它他是俄罗斯南部的小城镇，足够我了解新闻内容。你也可以试试这种方法，不要为复杂的名称所困扰。当然，重要的新闻人物及地名还是得熟悉一下。
