 一般而言,英语句子中的前置定语多为单词,但是,在英语新闻报道中,记者往往不拘泥于这种传统的语言现象,而是酌情灵活地使用复合定语,即同时皮用两个或多个单词甚至一句句子来修饰某个句子。例如:

 


Instead of an all-out strike,the workers will stage a go-slow.

工人们没有举行全面罢工,而是采取消极怠工的策略。


Thirty—five foreign ministers from the“group of 77" developing nations will be present and other member-countries are expected to be represented by high-lever non-ministerial delegations 1 at the two—day meeting.

77国集团中有35名外长将出席这次会议,而其余的国家则将派出代表团到会。


The Queen,wearing hat,scarf and gloves in partial compliance 2 with Islamic stricures on feminine dress became the first woman ruler received in this oil—rich Middle East state.

女王戴着帽子和手套,系着围巾,这在一定程度上符合了伊斯兰教对妇女装束的规定。她是这个所接待的第一位女性国家元首。


以上列举的这类由连字号连接的复合定语一目了然,避免了使用短语或从句,既简化了句于的结构,节省了篇幅,便于记者赶稿,又帮助读者加快了阅读速度。此外,这类复合定语同中文的定语颇为相似,故对中国读者来说,比较容易接受。
