《英语广播电台听力经典》系列丛书锁定迄今最具权威性和实战性的“声源”，通过精选、整合自2012年以来VOA、BBC、CNN、NPR、PBS、ABC、SSS、CRI等众多国内外知名电台高度关注的题材，涉及政治、经济、社会、科教、历史、文娱等诸多方面，以地道的语言和贴近生活的表达习惯，使听众在提高英语听力水平的同时，又能获取大量的“百科知识”。相对市面同类书籍而言，本系列丛书具有很强的时效性与创新性，弥补了传统听力图书按照单一电台集结成册的不足，实现了不同电台之间的自由切换，满足了广大读者对不同发音的需求。
《新闻频道》一书按主题分为国际瞭望、军事观察、社会热点、选战风云、政要声音五个单元。每个主题下都有当今社会最热门、最引人关注的新闻事件，如国际瞭望中被称做“不死鸟”的委内瑞拉总统查维斯病逝，今后委内瑞拉这款拉美“快车”将驶向何方？马拉松比赛的终点线，突然呈现出了战地光景，波士顿马拉松爆炸案瞬时震惊全球；军事观察中西方社会孤立伊朗，其邻国伸出援助之手以解危情；社会热点中学习者可以了解在号称食品检验标准很高的欧洲，“挂牛头卖马肉”何以能一路畅通无阻？有“铁娘子”之称的英国女首相撒切尔夫人因病辞世，功过得失自留后人评说；呈现在选战风云中的是奥巴马连任之路正式起航，“奥巴马时间”是否能又一次到来？新当选的韩国首位女总统朴槿惠，具有强人之女、选举女王之称，她将给韩国人民带来的是“喜”是“忧”？从政要声音中我们可以聆听到美国总统呼吁改革的移民政策，“驴象之争”是否会在此问题上达成一致？缅甸反对派领导人昂山素季，获释后即发表全国讲演，呼吁缅甸全国和解，缅甸各派是否能以此为契机，摈弃前嫌，携手前进？在学习本书的过程中，学习者必然会遇到一些难点，如语速快、停顿短、新闻词汇量大,专有名词多、数词使用频率高、惯用语反复出现以及句子结构复杂等。这些都严重影响了学习者对新闻内容的理解。对此，本书都设置了相应的板块，力求帮助学习者解决这些问题。不仅对重要人名、地名、常用词汇及语法进行了详尽的点拨，还给学习者提供了相关的背景知识，阐述了新闻听力的特点，如用语规范、词汇相对固定及句式较为工整等。提醒学习者平时也要多关注新闻事件，对新闻人物、地点、专有名词等注意积累，从而扩展知识。国家主要领导人的名字，如Obama、Margaret
Thatcher、Pa rk Geun -hye、Aung San Suu
Kyi等要识记；对重要国家、主要城市的名称也要重点掌握，如Rwanda、Congo、Mali等，这样在听英语新闻时才会对新闻事件的前因后果有更深刻的了解。书中还对出现的连读、吞音和弱读等语音难点进行了详细分析和解读。

原 文
I''m Carl Azuz, this is CNN Student News.
First up, the mayor of Dallas, Texas says his city is facing an
emergency. The problem is West Nile Virus. There is an outbreak of
it happening around the US. It’s the biggest jump in the number of
reported cases of West Nile since 2004, and the outbreak is
spreading.
This map shows some of the states that have been hit the hardest.
By far, Texas has had it the worst: More than 380 confirmed cases
of West Nile there. Officials are trying to fight the outbreak by
using a spray to kill infected mosquitoes.
The insects spread the disease after they get it from birds. West
Nile started in Africa. No one knows how it got to the US, but we
do know when it arrived: 1999. Most people who get West Nile don’t
get seriously sick. Dr. Sanjay Gupta runs through some of the
symptoms of this disease.
The vast majority of people who get West Nile won’t have hardly
any symptoms at all, or so mild that they won’t realize that in
fact they have West Nile. So when you look at the numbers of cases,
keep that in mind, they are probably a lot higher. And people who
have the mild illness, you know, it’s a fever, they can have
swollen lymph glands , they sometimes get a characteristic rash
that’s usually on the chest or the back of the stomach, sort of in
a trunk area of the body.That can happen. There is a more severe
form, one in 150 cases, they have something known as a
neuroinvasive form. That gets into the brain and spinal cord area,
and it crosses the blood brain barrier, can cause someone to be
lethargic, can cause someone to have neck stiffness, you know,
people can also get joint pain and nausea . So, they can be
sometimes vague.
注释
spray n. 喷雾剂
swollen adj. 肿胀的
lymph n. 淋巴
gland n. 腺体
rash n. 皮疹
trunk n. 躯干
nausea n. 恶心
vague adj. 模糊不清的
参考译文
我是卡尔?阿祖兹，欢迎收听CNN学生新闻。
首先为您播报的是德州讯息。得克萨斯州达拉斯市市长称该市目前正处于非常时刻，而危情根源即在美国突然爆发的西尼罗河病毒。此次病毒爆发数量惊人，蔓延凶猛，为2004年以来西尼罗河所报案例之最。
迄今为止，在地图上所显示的各重灾州中，得克萨斯州疫情最糟，确诊病例已高达380多例。目前政府正设法用喷雾杀毒剂清除受感染的蚊虫以抵制病毒蔓延。
此类昆虫经与鸟类接触后感染病毒同时成为传播源。西尼罗河病毒始于非洲，至于如何入侵美国却不得而知。但可以明确的是该病毒早在1999年便已在美国境内大肆蔓延，不过受感染者一般不致身患顽疾。下面由桑杰?古普塔医生为您讲解该病的一些症状。
绝大多数感染西尼罗河病毒的患者几乎无明显症状，或只是微感不适，通常难以察觉已患此病。因此你所看到的数据可能远不及实际病例多。而出现轻微病症的患者，一般有发烧、淋巴结肿大等症状，有时也会伴有皮疹，多起于胸前或背后，部分皮疹长在身体躯干各部位。
还有可能出现更为严重的病情——神经感染，发病几率为1150。此类情况下，病毒会侵入患者的大脑和脊髓组织，继而穿过血脑樊篱，导致病患周身无力、颈部僵硬、关节疼痛或恶心反胃等。因此，病患有时会出现神志模糊等症。
听力点拨
1. First up, the mayor of Dallas, Texas says his city is facing
an emergency.
这是本条新闻的导语，要抓住关键词 emergency，通过这个词可以知道本篇新闻讲的是一
种危机，可以用来猜测下面的内容。first up 中 t 和 up 连读，发 [t?p ]。
2. West Nile Virus（西尼罗河病毒）通常由鸟类携带。1937 年，人们在西尼罗河地区的乌
干达第一次发现了这种病毒，并把它取名为西尼罗河病毒。
3. Dr. Sanjay Gupta runs through some of the symptoms of this
disease.
通过这句话中的 symptoms 可以知道下面要讲的是感染西尼罗河病毒的人的一些症状。接
下来的一段话有一些生词，如 swollen lymph glands，characteristic rash，trunk
area，但是通
过上下文及其他一些词的提示，如 mild illness，可以猜测这些都是感染西尼罗河病毒，症状明
显的身体部位和器官。
4. So when you look at the numbers of cases...they are probably a
lot higher.
联系上下文，这句话意思是说，实际感染该病毒的人数是大于已知数字的，因为绝大多数
患者的症状较为轻微，难以察觉，keep that in mind 是插入语，起强调的作用。
