 新聞導讀   本篇無朗讀及講解音檔 

三、用現在簡單式表達過去發生的事件

• 這則新聞被報導時，地震已經發生，照理應該寫成 “A magnitude 6.7 earthquake rocked Hokkaido.”，但英文新聞標題會用現在式來強調「即時性」和「臨場感」。

• 標題還原後為：A sleepy driver crashed into a mattress store in Dallas.

四、使用不定詞（to + 原形動詞）來表達未來的事件

• 標題還原後為：The Czech president will appoint new ministers on April 30.

• 標題還原後為：Workers are going to march on Labor Day for more paid time off.

五、使用過去分詞（但省略 be 動詞 is、are、was、were，或完成式助動詞 have、has、had）來表達被動式或現在完成式

• 標題還原後為：The City of Lights was plunged into dark sorrow as the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral burned.

• 標題還原後為：A major breeding ground for emperor penguins has gone barren since 2016.

六、使用現在分詞（V-ing）來表達正在進行中的事件或即將發生的未來事件

• 標題還原後為：Swine fever is sending pork prices higher.

• 標題還原後為：Beverly Hills is considering banning sale of tobacco.
