中文意思：在国际新闻报道中，英语新闻翻译占了相当大的比重。在英语新闻中， “标题被视作报道全文的缩写” ，为了尽量吸引读者，编辑往往运用各种修辞手段，力争使新闻标题更具吸引力。这为英语新闻翻译带来挑战。翻译者需调动各种翻译手段，力争把原标题的意义和风格以汉语形式再现出来。为此，翻译时应兼顾三个方面：准确理解标题意义，尤其是要透过字面理解其深层意义;在不曲解原意的情况下发挥汉语特点，以增强译文可读性;在文化背景缺失的情况下，注意译文的可接受性。
一，直译或基本直译新闻标题
直译和意译孰是孰非在我国译界争论不休，迄今未有定论。笔者以为，两种译法各有长短，翻译中需视实际情况而定，扬长避短。但无论直译还是意译，都应把忠实于原文内容放在首位。就英语新闻标题翻译而言，笔者以为，如果英语标题的含义明白，译成汉语以后中国读者不至于产生理解上的困难，可考虑采用直译或基本直译。比如：
普京面临的恶劣新闻批评恐怖
普京因恐怖事件受媒体严厉批评
奥运会开始的风格;游泳注意到第一金
奥运盛妆开幕泳将喜夺首金
英国最长寿的人逝世115
英国第一寿星谢世，享天年百岁又十五
以上三则新闻标题属于直译或基本直译，没有洋腔洋调，显得很自然流畅。
英语意思：In the international news in Chinese and English news translation accounted for a large proportion. News in English, "the title was reported as the full text of the initials", in order to try to attract readers, editors often use all kinds of rhetorical devices, and strive to make headlines more attractive. This English translation of news challenges. Translations are required to mobilize a variety of translation tools, and strive to bring the original title of the meaning and style in order to reproduce the form of Chinese out. To this end, the translation should take into account three aspects: an accurate understanding of the meaning of the title, especially through the literal understanding of the underlying meaning; not distort the original intent of circumstances to play a Chinese characteristics, in order to enhance readability asked; in the cultural background of the missing circumstances, the attention of the acceptability of translations.
A literal translation or basic news headlines
Literal translation and free translation charge of China's translation industry in the debate so far is not yet known. I think that each of the length of two translation, translation depending on the actual situation,扬长避短. However, literal translation or paraphrase should be to remain faithful to the original content in the first place. News headlines on the English translation is concerned, I think that, if the English to understand the meaning of the title, translated into Chinese after the Chinese readers would not have understood the difficulties may consider the literal or basic literal translation. For example:
Putin Faces Harsh Press Criticism over Terror
Putin due to terrorist attacks severely criticized by the media
Olympics Begin in Style; Swimmer Takes 1st Gold
Sheng makeup Olympic swimmer hi opening wins first gold
UK 's Oldest Person Dies at 115
Britain's first Shouxing Xie, enjoy life again Tiannianyin 15
News headlines for more than three or basic literal translation is, there is no cavity Yang Yang stressed that looked very natural fluency.

English news translation takes up a substantial proportion in international news reports. In English news “a headline is recognized as the epitome of the entire report”. Editors constantly manipulate various rhetoric devices to call readers’ attention, making headlines more attractive. Accordingly, it may challenge English news translation. Translators, therefore, must endeavor to present the meaning and style of the original headline in Chinese via many translation methods. Thus one should deliberate the translation in three dimensions as below: Have an accurate understanding of the meaning of headline while paying special attention to the in-depth meaning; try to write decent Chinese without distorting its original meaning, making the version worth reading; and be aware that the translation is acceptable if lacking a cultural backdrop.
1. Literal or Near Literal Translation
Domestic scholars hold differing views on whether literal translation or free translation should be preferred. In the writer’s viewpoint, both methods have merits and demerits, the choice of method all depends while strong points should be highlight and weaknesses hided. Whatever the case, the version should always be loyal to the original. In the case of translation of English news headlines, writer holds that literal of near literal translation should be selected if the headline has a clear meaning, never to confuse Chinese readers. Let us study these cases:
Putin faces harsh press criticism over terror
普京因恐怖事件受媒体严厉批评
Olympics Begin in Style; Swimmer Takes 1st Gold
奥运盛妆开幕泳将喜夺首金
UK’s Oldest Person Dies at 115
英国第一寿星谢世，享天年百岁又十五
Literal or near literal translation is applied in the above three headlines, and natural and smooth versions are presented accordingly.本回答被提问者采纳
