MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT
“ Unforgettable, ” says new reporter
Never will Zhou Yang (ZY) forget his first assignment at the office of China Daily . His discussion with his new boss, Hu Xin (HX), was to strongly influence his life as a reporter.
HX : Welcome. We are so glad you are coming to work with us. Your first job at China Daily will be as a reporter. Do you have any questions ?
ZY : Can I go out on a story immediately ?
HX : (laughing) Not on your own ! Not till you are more experienced ! The first time we’ll send you with an experienced reporter. Only when you have seen what he or she does, can you cover a story by yourself.
XY : Wonderful ! I’m so excited. What do I need to take with me ? I already have a notebook and pen. I also brought my camera with me.
HX: No need for a camera ! You’ll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs. You’ll find your colleagues very eager to assist you and if you are interested in photography, it may be possible for you to concentrate on that later on.
ZY : Thank you. Not only am I interested in photography, but I took a course at university, so it’s actually of special interest to me.
HX : Good.
ZY : What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story ?
HX : You need to be curious. Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know. We say a good reporter must have a “nose” for a story. That means he or she must be able to tell when people are not telling the whole truth and try to discover it. They must use research or ask other people to find out the missing parts of the story.
ZY : I see. What mistakes must I avoid ?
HX : Here comes my list of “dos” and “don’ts” : don’t be rude, don’t talk too much yourself, and make sure you listen to the answers carefully.
ZY : Why is listening so important ?
HZ : Well, you have to listen to the detailed facts. Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.
ZY : But how can I listen to answers if I have to write down what he or she is saying ?
HX : This is a trick of the trade. If the person being interviewed agrees, we sometimes use small recorders to make sure that we get all our facts straight. It is also useful if a person wants to challenge us. We have the evidence to support our story.
ZY : I can see how important that is ! Have you ever had a case where somebody accused your reporters of getting the wrong end of the stick ?
HX : Yes, but it was a long time ago. This is how the story goes. A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win. We went to interview him. He admitted that he knew the man who was supposed to have bribed him, but denied that he had ever taken any money. We arranged an interview between that man and the footballer and when we saw them together we guessed from the footballer’s body language that he was not telling the truth. An article was written which suggested he was guilty. He was very angry and tried to stop us publishing it. Later we were proved right.
ZY : That was a real “scoop”. I’m looking forward to my first assignment as a reporter. Perhaps I too will get a scoop!
HX : Perhaps you will. You never know!
What is Zhou Yang’s first assignment ?
Why Hu Xin says “ No need for a camera !” ?
Hu Xin says a good reporter must have a “ nose “ for a story. What dose he mean ?
Listening is very important. Why ?
Why was the footballer angry ?
What ‘s the meaning of the word “ scoop “ ?
注释：
Can I go out on a story immediately ? 我可以马上出去采访吗？
on 加名词与come, go 等动词连用，可表示目的，表示去做某事。如：
They have decided to go on a visit to the seaside in Beidaihe this summer.
他们决定这个夏天去北戴河海边游玩。
Only when you have seen what he or she does, can you cover a story by yourself.
只有等你见习了他们的工作之后，你才能独自去新闻采访。
这个句子是倒装句，它的正常语序应当是：
You can cover a story by yourself when you have seen what he or she does.
放在句首的状语若由“only+副词”、“only+介词词组”、“only+状语从句”构成，可引起局部倒装，即把助动词、情态动词或系动词be放在主语之前。如：
Only then did I realize the importance of my health. 只有在那时我才认识到健康的重要性。
Only when the war was over in 1945 was he able to get back to work. 只有在1945年战争结束后他才得以回去工作。
cover（新闻记者）报道。如：
She covered the Ethiopian famine for CBS news.她为哥伦比亚广播公司报道了埃塞俄比亚的饥荒情况。
cover一词的用法很多，含义也非常丰富。又如：
He covered the distance in a little under one and half hours. 他用了不足一个半小时走完了那段距离。
So far this month we have covered ten lesson. 这月以来我们学习了十课。
He has worked out exactly what his income will have to be during the first six months to cover his costs. 他已经准确计算出头六个月需要多少收入才能支付他的费用。
We say a good reporter must have a “nose” for a story. 我们说，一个好记者必须有一个对新闻非常敏感的“嗅觉”。
have a good nose for sth 常用于口语表达，表示探查或发现某事物的能力。have a nose for news指追求新闻的热情和能力。英语里与nose有关的很形象的表达还有许多，如：
Don’t poke your nose into other people’s business. 少管别人的闲事。
George turned his nose up at classical music. 乔治对古典音乐不屑一顾。
此外，eye ，ear ，mouth等词也有此类用法。如：
Tell us what happened. We are all ears. 快告诉我们发生了什么，我们正洗耳恭听呢。
He turned a deaf ear to what I said . 他对我的话一点儿也听不进去。
Don’t tell him anything. He has a big mouth .什么也别告诉他，他嘴不严
This is a trick of the trade .这就是我们职业的诀巧。
Tricks of the trade （内行人的）诀巧。另外还可以表示吸引顾客，在竟争中取胜的手段或生意经。如：If you want to start your own car business, you should ask his advice . He knows all the tricks of the trade .。你要想自己做汽车生意，最好向他讨教，他对这行的诀巧全清楚。
Have you ever had a case where somebody accused your reporters of getting the wrong end of the stick ?你们有没有过这样的情况：别人控告你的记者，说他（她）们的报道完全失实？
accuse ….. of ….. 指控告某人犯某罪。如：
He was accused of murder by the police.警察指控他谋杀。
Once a neighbour accused me of playing my radio too loudly. 有一次一个邻居控告我把收音机声音放得太大。
get (hold of) the wrong end of the stick完全误解，弄错。如：
He has got hold of the wrong end of the stick. 他完全搞错了。
This is how the story goes. 事情的经过是这样的。
go在此句中表示“怎么说的”。如：
The story goes that she was once rich. 据传她曾经很富有。
go 不要机械地理解成“走，去”。请看下列句子：
The company has gone bankrupt. 这家公司已经破产了。
These old shoes are beginning to go. 这些旧鞋快坏了。
I can’t remember how the poem goes. 我记不得这诗的词句了。
The car must go. We can’t afford it any more. 我们必须放弃这车，我们用不起它了。
A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win. 一个足球运动员被指控受贿，故意不进球，好让另一队赢球。
So as to … 相当于in order to … ，意为“为了；目的是”。如：
He said he would go to the men’s room so as to leave us alone for a while.他说他要去洗手间，为的是让我们单独呆一会儿。
I bought some beef and vegetables so as to make a soup for dinner. 我买了些牛肉和蔬菜，为的是给晚饭做个汤。
he admitted that he knew the man who was supposed to have bribed him, but denied that he had ever taken any money. 他承认他认识那个行贿的人，但他否认他接受了贿赂。
be supposed to 应当；认为必须。如：
He is supposed to be here in about an hour. 他大约一小时后到。
He was supposed to be a college graduate but he knew nothing of history. 按说他是大学毕业生，但他对历史一点也不知道。
be supposed to 后面若接不定式的完成时，则表示理应做过某事（但可能没有做），这里有虚拟的含义。如：
Jack is supposed to have finished his work now. 杰克现在应当完成工作了。
He was supposed to have arrived on the four o’clock train. 他乘四点的火车本该已经到了。
Perhaps I too will get a scoop ! 说不定我也会搞到独家新闻呢！
scoop（十九世纪末以来的报社用语）抢发独家新闻。如：
I was afraid of being scooped because I knew a lot of reporters were on the same story. 我担心被别人抢了头条新闻，因为我知道许多记者都在打听这同一件事。
The paper scored a major scoop with that revelation. 该报披露了这件事，抢发了头条新闻。
