第13頁/共53頁新聞導語(newslead)位于第一段或第一、二段。通過13牽引主題的作用，使讀者看了導語就知道這條消息的大體信息，從而引出主題以及闡述這個主題的主體。逗引讀者的閱讀興趣，使讀者在閱讀導語的過程中，產(chǎn)生閱讀興趣，情不自禁地把新聞讀下去。

一切就好像是好萊塢編造出來的驚險故事一樣，但一切又都是真真切切發(fā)生的事實：就在離舉行奧斯卡儀式還剩9天時，奧斯卡金像突然不翼而飛。為了偵破這起神秘的盜竊案，聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局被請來了，懸賞破案的賞金是5萬美元。導語中只交待了“事件”這一個新聞要素，時間要素雖然交待了，但也是間接交待的“離舉行奧斯卡儀式還剩90”，其余要素根本就沒交待了。而其語言卻極富文學色彩，讀者的胃口被吊了起來，讓人欲罷不能。第45頁/共53頁1.Suspenselead先在導語中給讀者以某些驚人的或452.Questionlead這是修辭中設問方法的移用,即先簡短直率地提出人們廣為關(guān)心的問題,以引起讀者思考,然后用事實去回答。這種寫法能適應和調(diào)動讀者急欲了解答案的急迫心情,使之有興趣讀下去。WhateverhappenedtotheEastAsianCrisis?AfterThailanddevaluedthebahtonJuly2,1997,capitalrushedoutoftheregion’seconomies,andinrapidsuccessionmostofthemcollapsed….TheEconomist2002東亞金融危機究竟出現(xiàn)了什么情況?1997年7月2日泰銖貶值后,資金從該地區(qū)迅速流失,大多數(shù)國家的經(jīng)濟接連崩潰?！?6頁/共53頁2.Questionlead這是修辭中設問方法的移用,即先46QuestionleadWhatdocorruptofficialsdowhentheyendupbehindbars?Maybewritebooksiftheconditionsareright.Quiteanumberofthemhavehadtheirbookspublishedevenwhileservingtheirterms.(Source:Beingknowledgeable≠being,ChinaDailyDec.9,2009)第47頁/共53頁QuestionleadWhatdocorrupto47Quotelead-allowsapersonalitytoenterthestage,completewithenthusiasms,opinions,andotherinfluencesthatyoucouldn'tallowinstraightnewslead.-therearepeopleandnotjustideasinthisstory.引用消息中主要人物關(guān)鍵性或有針對性、有代表性或有新意的談話,以增強消息的真實性、可信性與權(quán)威性。第48頁/共53頁Quotelead-allowsapersonali48Quotelead“NowwewereinaClashofCivilizations,with‘rationalIslam’replacingfascismandSovietcommunismasthewest’sglobalenemy”(Source:GlobalPoliticsintheDecadeofRadicalism,theGuardianOct.17,2009)第49頁/共53頁Quotelead“NowwewereinaCl49Direct-addr
