前言

  Special:English即“慢速英語”,是VOA電臺專為全世界非英語國家初學(xué)英語的聽眾安排的一種簡易、規(guī)范的英語廣播節(jié)目。該節(jié)目始創(chuàng)于20世紀(jì)50年代末期,是VOA電臺的專家們?yōu)槭澜绺鞯氐挠⒄Z學(xué)習(xí)者所研究開發(fā)的節(jié)目。它正式開播于1959年10月。當(dāng)時只面向歐洲和中東,后來因?yàn)檫@個節(jié)目適合許多國家英語學(xué)習(xí)者的需要,所以它的廣播對象就擴(kuò)大到世界其他地區(qū),并很快在全球范圍內(nèi)產(chǎn)生了廣泛的影響。如今這個節(jié)目對歐洲、非洲和拉丁美洲每晚廣播一次,對加勒比地區(qū)每晚廣播一次(星期天除外),對東南亞廣播的次數(shù)最多,每天上午兩次,晚上三次?! ∷氖嗄陙?,VOA電臺為了辦好這個節(jié)目,進(jìn)行了大量的調(diào)查研究工作,對播音速度、內(nèi)容及用詞范圍都作了具體規(guī)定,基本上達(dá)到了既能為英語學(xué)習(xí)者提供信息,又不損害英語本身風(fēng)格的目的,使之成為VOA電臺獨(dú)具特色、擁有最大量聽眾的節(jié)目。美國著名詞匯學(xué)家S.B.Flexmer指明了Special English的三條標(biāo)準(zhǔn),也就是它之所以“特別”的地方:(1)它是一種由美國人最常用的1 500個基本單詞為主體構(gòu)成的美國英語;(2)它用簡短、明晰的句子寫作和廣播;(3)它以每分鐘90個單詞的速度,即Standard English速度的2/3進(jìn)行廣播。
