China receives men's rifle gold from Emmons again
The scene was reminiscent to the one four years ago.
American shooter Matthew Emmons just needed a 6.6 to be crowned in the men's 50-meter rifle three positions at the Beijing Olympic Games.
But he made a 4.4.
Gone was the gold, even the silver and the bronze.
The champion became Chinese shooter Qiu Jian, with 1272.5 points. Following him was Jury Sukhorukov from Ukraine with 1272.4 and world record holder Rajmond Debevec from Slovenia with 1271.7 points.
Advancing into the final with 1175 points, one point behind the leading Debevec, the 27-year-old American shooter got a 9.7 in the first shot, while the 45-year-old Slovenian shot a surprising 7.7 and was hence dropped to second.
Emmons further enlarged his leading advantage by making seven of the following eight shots above or equalling 10.
While the 33-year-old Qiu experienced some ups and downs with his scores fluctuating from 8.8 to 10.6. But originally ranked fourth with 1173 points, he managed to climb to the third.
Before the last shot, top four were Emmons, Sukhorukov, Qiu and Debevec, with their gaps 3.3 points, 0.1 points and 1.6 points respectively.
Sukhorukov fired in the last shot, a 9.8.
Debevec made a 10.8.
Qiu, the second to last to open fire, collected a 10.0, surpassing his Ukrainian rival.
It was the moment for Emmons.
Four years ago in Athens, the shooter, with an obvious advantage and was just one shot away from the gold, had his last bullet plunged into another shooter's target and saw the gold won by Chinese shooter Jia Zhanbo.
This time, he needed just a 9.2 to break the Olympic record of 1275.1 by Debevec and a 6.6 to beat Qiu and win the gold, and everyone held breath to see the man staging a comeback.
He fired.
The target was right.
But spectators let out an exclamation.
Like enchanted, he notched up a stunning 4.4 and plunged to the fourth.
After several seconds of bewilderment, audiences cheered and applauded for the lucky Chinese champion, who himself gazed at the screen of score in disbelief.
Emmons threw himself into the arms of his wife Katerina, who just won a gold and a silver from the Beijing Olympics.
在這則報(bào)道中，有幾個(gè)地方值得我們?cè)诮窈蟮臅姹磉_(dá)中借鑒和模仿：
倒裝句傳遞的情感
第四段使用了一個(gè)完全倒裝句，“Gone was the gold, even the silver and the bronze.”把它用在“But he made a 4.4.”這樣的結(jié)果出現(xiàn)之后，凸現(xiàn)出了一種無奈嘆息的情感。一般而言，倒裝句的作用一是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)，二是為了語(yǔ)言結(jié)構(gòu)的需要。
簡(jiǎn)單句帶來的“跌宕起伏”
報(bào)道最后部分在描述埃蒙斯最后一槍，金牌馬上到手的時(shí)候連續(xù)使用了幾個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單得不能再簡(jiǎn)單的句子，沒有使用什么修飾，但卻令人感到窒息：
He fired.
The target was right.
But spectators let out an exclamation.
Like enchanted, he notched up a stunning 4.4 and plunged to the fourth.
…，…
這樣的描述扣人心弦，也讓人經(jīng)歷了大喜大悲。在適當(dāng)?shù)牡胤剑侠硎褂枚叹洌瓤梢宰x起來上口，又可以調(diào)整語(yǔ)篇的寫作色彩。
記敘的高超手法
整篇報(bào)道在文章結(jié)構(gòu)上有“亮點(diǎn)”。一是題目和導(dǎo)語(yǔ)引發(fā)聯(lián)想，時(shí)光倒轉(zhuǎn)；二是首尾呼應(yīng)，先交代結(jié)果，后述過程。我們?cè)诟呖贾杏龅接洈⑽捏w的書面表達(dá)，往往寫不生動(dòng)，這篇報(bào)道可以說給了我們一個(gè)很好的參照，耐人回味。
