例子：1）Top Indian hotel angry at BBC

3）Officer in court for double killing

4）Brazil student expelled after wearing mini-dress (China Daily 2009-11-09 ) *注释：标题中有时也会出现冠词、连词and和系动词to be等虚词和语法成分，它们没有被省略主要出于两个原因。第一，为了顾全某些习语或词组的完整性，如：
HINI on the ri again in London
Combat on the Web
第二，为了弥补标题形式的不足，如：
Bin Laden
a Cash Source
For Taliban
Four killed and
Five hurt
In a hou fire
1.2时态The ten
1.2.1一般现在时（Prent ten）可以表示：现实存在的事实、过去发生的事、正在进行
或将要发生的事。如：
UK’s oldest person dies at 115
Baboon-Liver Recipient Dies of Infection
Labour plans BBC shake-up
（= The Labour Party is planning the BBC shake-up）
Sun faces charge over “racist” cartoon
（= The Sun is to face a charge over a “racist” cartoon）
1.2.2一般将来时（simple future ten）用“will+动词原型”和“be+动词不定式”表示，
其中不定式前的be通常省略。如：
Next century will challenge law of land
World’s first garbage system to end lan dfills
Largest Chine trade delegation to visit US in Nov.
1.2.3现在进行时（Prent continuous）可以表示：正在发生的事和将要进行的事。如：
Deposits, loans rising in HK
（=The deposits and loans are rising in Hong Kong）
1.3语态The voice
英语新闻标题使用动词的主动语态的频率远远超过被动语态，因为从修辞角度而言，主动语态比被动语态更加丰富（colorful）且富有感染力（appealing），所表达的意义更为直接（forward）或更具有说服力（powerful），使读者感到真实可信而发乎自然，读之朗朗上口。
英文新闻标题只有在事件或动作的接受者比执行者更重要时才使用被动语态，突出强调宾语部分，以引起读者注意，抓住读者的注意力。如：
500 Reported Killed in Korean Building Collap
远比
Clashes Claim 500 Lives in Korea
要更为吸引人。
在被动语态（Passive voice）中be + past participle，而“be”和“by”（动作的实施者）通常被省略。如：
Journalist fired in spy debate
（= A journalist is fired in a spy debate）
Students stranded in Australia (China Daily updated: 2009-11-09 )
（=Students are stranded in Australia）
1.4标点Punctuation
英语新闻标题中不使用标点的情况特别多，占了绝大多数。例如，为了做到简洁，使用陈述句的标题都省略句号。
即便使用标点符号，也并不使用所有的标点符号，而其目的主要是：区分表示各句子成分或意群之间的关系；进一步节省标题字数。
1.4.1逗号（comma）：可以代替and。如：
Guangzhou fair clos, trade booms
（=The Guangzhou fair clos and trade booms）
开心一刻笑话Mexico, Denmark, S Africa t up environmental accord
1.4.2破折号(dash)：第一，引出说话者。如：
World unity against terrorism needed —Blair
(= Blair says that world unity against terrorism is needed)
Economy Grows Slowly As Unemployment, Inflation Ri —Economists (= Economists say that economy grows slowly as unemployment and inflation ri) 第二，相当于“but”。如：
Y es, big harvest — it brings big troubles for farmers
(= Y es, it’s a big harvest but it brings big troubles for farmers)
1.4.3冒号(colon)：第一，相当于“say”。如：
H1N1 flu death toll tops 6,000: WHO (Xinhua Updated: 2009-11-07)
WHO says H1N1 flu death toll tops 6,000
第二，代替be。如：
Chine Cooks: Masters at Turning Turnip into Flower
(= The Chine cooks are masters of turning a turnip into a flower)
