8、缩写词

缩写词又称首字母缩赂词，将几个词的首字母加在一起合成一字，全部用大写字母拼成，从而代替一组冗长复杂的词或词组。这样，既可节省版面标题词数，又能更好地提示新闻内容，使人读来颇感简洁易记，还可使版面编排减少沉闷之感。例如：

CPPCC HEAD MEETS RETURNED OVERSEAS STUDENTS IN BEIJING

(CPPCC＝The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference 中国人民政治协商会议) 全国政协主席在京接见归国留学生

AIDS VICTIMS SURGING IN US (AIDS＝acquired immune deficiency syndrome：后天免疫缺损综合症，即“艾滋病”) 美“艾滋病”患者激增

PLO SAYS BIG ISRAELI DRIVE AHEAD (PLO＝Palestine Liberation Organization：巴勒斯坦解放组织) 巴解组织称以色列即将大举进攻

从以上数则实例中不难发现，英语新闻标题中经常出现的缩写词主要分为三类：

1)组织机构等专有名称，如上述例句中的CPPCC (全国政协)和PLO(巴解组织)。又如： UNESCO＝United Nations Educational， Scientific and Cultural Organization (联合国教科文组织)

IMF＝International Monetary Fund (国际货币基金组织)

ASEAN＝Association of Southeast Asian Nations (东南亚国家联盟；“东盟”)

GATT＝General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (关贸总协定)
