浅谈中美贸易战中各自英文用语的不同毕业论文

 2020-02-15 18:55:59  

摘 要

在读英语文章的时候,就算是不知道作者是谁,也不知道文章的背景情况,文章中的用词用语和表达方式会使以英语为第一语言作者和非英语为母语的作者的文章出现较大的区别。尽管非母语作者的文章中语句通顺并没有任何语法错误,这个区别还是依然存在。那么这个用词用语的差异是怎样被人们所识别出来的?熟练掌握英语词汇语法的非英语为母语的作者的文章为什么会和英语母语作者的文章有差异?这样的差异到底存在于那些方面?这些问题都对英语学习十分重要。

如今,信息技术发展迅速,国内的英文文章也逐渐被国外的媒体所发现和关注。国内的英文新闻的作用和地位也逐步提高。因此,解除国内外的写作上的用词用语和表达上的差异显得尤为重要,尤其是被广泛暴露在各大媒体并在某一程度上可以代表官方主张的新闻媒体。所以,本文以新闻的文章入手,以《中国日报》上的新闻报导为主要的非英语母语的文章,以《今日美国》和《华盛顿邮报》上的报导为主要的纯正的英语文章,对近期的热点的中美贸易战新闻同一事件的文章的写作的用词,用句等表达方式的区别进行分析,并研究出差异所在。

新闻文章体现了写作方对事件的态度。文章上的差异很可能导致差异化的理解,这对双方的外交十分不利。因此,对于找出文章的差异问题和解决这类问题对于国家的外交层面来说迫在眉睫。

Abstract

When reading an English article, even if you don't have any knowledge about the author,or the background of the article, the words and expressions in the article will make it become easy to be distinguished since those expressions are written different from native English author and non-native English author. Although the sentences by non-native authors are fluent and without grammatical errors, the distinction of the articles still exists. So how the difference in the terminology used by people to be identified? Why are the articles of non-native English-speaking authors who are proficient in English vocabulary and grammar different from those of native English authors? What kind of main factors of difference cause this difference which exist in writing? These questions are all very important for English learning.

Nowadays, technology of exchanging information is developing rapidly, and domestic English articles are gradually being valued and drawn more attention by foreign media. The role and status of domestic English news has also gradually improved. Therefore, it is pretty important to eliminate the differences in words usage and expressions in writing between Chinese writers and native writers, especially those text which are widely exposed to major media and can represent official claims to a certain extent. As a result, this article starts with the texts in news, with the news report in China Daily, USA Today and Washington Post. One represent English news articles written by Chinese authors, the others represent English news articles written by native authors. The essay will focus on the recent hotspots of China-US trade war news, analyze the differences in the writing of the same event articles, and find out the differences.

Brief analysis of different use of the English expressions in the event of China-US trade war

1 Introduction

Due to the rapid development of mass media communication technology, it is easier for us to learn about what is happening in our country or even in the world. With the development of information technology and the growing importance of international diplomatic relations, English news is not only for the students who study English and some overseas Chinese. Today, many foreign media will focus and pay attention to China's news in order to figure out the attitude of China via the news written by Chinese people especially those news writing in English.

For many readers, it is not difficult to tell whether an article is written by a native English speaker. So how did they distinguish them? What is the stylistic differences between a news report written by a Chinese writer and an article written by a native English speaker? There have been many studies on the differences between Chinese English newspaper and American English newspapers. For example, based on the corpus, Gong Junyang has researched on the English words used in "China Daily" political news in order to find the differences in the vocabulary level and grammatical level of the political news in FLOB (Freiburg-LOB corpus of British English). Surprisingly, the vocabulary density of China Daily is greater than FLOB, and the usage of words in China Daily is more complicated.

Today, China-US trade war is in full swing, and major media update their reports on the latest developments in trade wars almost every day. These situations have provided good conditions with massive articles for this study.

This study has it significant meaning. In the process of English learning, those differences are clear and are likely to trigger to enormous English learning problems.

First of all, the different habits of using terminology in the article may lead to the difficulty of reaching the audience in other countries when they read the article written by the domestic authors and it is also hard for them to fully understand the main ideas in the article and enable the article to resonate with these special people. At the same time, domestic authors' articles are also difficult to attract oversea Chinese audiences and foreigners and the articles are difficult to be recognized by them. Only by analyzing the different habits of the usage of words in the articles of the same event by domestic and foreign authors, and changing the Chinglish expressions from Chinese authors can foreign audiences understand the news smoothly.

Secondly, through analysis and understanding of the differences in the article, English learners can intuitively recognize the differences between Chinese thinking and foreign thinking patterns. Furthermore, the misunderstanding caused by Chinese thinking can be found and understood by English learners who may fall into these errors in writing articles in English. This is very important for future language learning since after learning these common misunderstandings, English learners can be more effective in avoiding the problems of Chinese English, so that the English used by learners can be more pure. Finally, after fully understanding the English thinking and the common mistakes that Chinese English learners may make in the writing of the article, these English learners can truly master the international language of English.

Finally, the analysis of the different degrees of the use of words in the same event at home and abroad can make domestic people more aware of the different attitudes of authors at home and abroad for the same event. Thus, English learners can understand the political position of foreigners more clearly and help them in reading comprehension of foreigners’ attitude.

After analyzing and understanding the differences in the writing of these articles, English learners can understand more deeply the differences in terminology between the two sides. This is very helpful for the writing and understanding of English articles. Thereby, it also can promote communication at home and abroad, and reduce misunderstandings that may arise in communication due to differences in terminology.

2 Analysis of the three news media

2.1 China Daily

First of all, as China's window for Chinese people to understand the world and for the world to understand China, China Daily plays a crucial role as a news media and has its own characteristics. China Daily was founded on June 1st, 1981. In the design of the newspaper, the international trendy design is used to create a modern visual boutique. The contents of the newspaper are various news from major news inside China and major news from the world. Its audiences are mainly well educated people from many domains, such as domestic politics, business, English learning, foreigners working, visiting, studying, and traveling in China. It is also attract the foreigners, such as diplomatic envoys in China, representatives of international organizations, senior executives of multinational corporations, and media practitioners.

Because of its audiences, the articles of China Daily will certainly be different from the articles in the general newspaper. After all, the articles in China Daily are for those who have received higher education which are essentially different from the general newspapers’ articles that target the general public. (e.g. Withdrawing from international treaties, building border walls and starting trade wars, the United States seems to be intent on reconstructing the postwar international order that it built itself. )Moreover, since the article is a window for the world to understand China, it should display the Chinese characteristics in its narrative style. However, as an objective newspaper, China Daily must describe the news from an objective perspective. Fortunately, in the comments section, China Daily still has its space to show its own attitude and its own characteristics.
