英语新闻题目老是力图用有限的字数来表达新闻的内容，为此，在措词上出格要狠下功夫，选词尽可能经济达意、简短了然，偏心选用那些短小精悍或字母起码的动词。那是因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不只能加强新闻的简洁性和可读性，并且还能节约版面篇幅。如表达“毁坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词，题目一般不消damage，而用一些较之简短的词，如hit、harm、hurt、ruin或wreck等。
又如表达“舍弃”那一概念的动词，题目一般不消abandon，而用drop、give up、quit、skip或yield 等。表达“爆炸”之类的动词意义时，一般不消explode，而用blast、crash、ram或smash等。
简而言之，英语新闻题目大都喜好选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比力普遍的词。
那类动词在题目中不足为奇，读者日常平凡阅读时无妨多加留意，那关于进步英语程度，出格是熟悉英语同义动词，无疑是大有裨益的。为便于读者更好天文解英语新闻题目，现再列举一些常见诸报端的题目小词，以备不时之需：
