n flames deep inside the Mont Blanc tunnel that links France and Italy. The fire quickly engulfed some 30 other vehicles and burned for two days before firefighters finally put it out. （Newsweek, April 5, 1999）

上述实例报道的是一起卡车事故，这里记者只使用了last week这个副词交代了这一突发事件发生的大致时间，而用deep inside这样一个模糊副词来交代事件发生的大致地点，火被扑灭的具体时间也没交代，只是用了finally，因为一般来说读者对事件发生的情况只想有个大致的了解, 若交代得过于细致，反而会让人厌烦。

3) 符合新闻报道特性

记者有时在报道中不得已使用一些模糊词语，这是新闻写作所要求的简洁性﹑时效性以及新闻采访等特点所决定的。例如:

       -- Israeli forces say they killed at least 100 Palestinians and captured nearly 700 others, including some on Israel’s list of terror suspects. Dozens of civilians perished, some crushed by falling walls, others in the cross fire.（Time, May 6, 2002）

--Sporadic sniper fire and several rounds of artillery shells pounded the centre of the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo yesterday while the latest UN peace talks were about to start in New York.

Sarajevo reporters said artillery shells slammed into the city several times during the early morning. Random sniper fire could be heard around Sarajevo’s city centre.（The international Herald Tribune, Feb. 5, 1993）

在上述第一则实例中, 记者要想一一数清在这次巴以交火冲突中具体确切的死伤人数及伤亡情况，这是很困难的。第一论文范文网 www.11665.com整理。
例二中，读者不难想象, 战地记者为了火速发稿, 在枪林弹雨中根本无暇去计算炮弹发生的次数, 只能以several rounds和several times来表达。

4) 促使报道生动活泼

英语新闻报道中的模糊词，如运用得恰当，非但不会造成模糊的感觉，反而在某种程度上增添报道的生动感，往往能起到精确语言（尤其是数字）起不到的效果。例如:

--As skyrocketing prices of certain staples recently returned to earth, inflation seems to be easing. The Hindu rightist BJP faces an uphill battle. Exports and growth are sluggish, and there has been no major progress on privatization. Indeed, the economy has not been in such bad shape since 1991, when an acute foreign-exchange shortage forced New Delhi to go hat in hand to the International Monetary Fund, promising to speed up reform. （Asiaweek, Jan.15, 1999）

这篇报道主要反映印度令人担忧的经济状况，虽然没有用任何具体数字，但记者通过一系列的带有模糊性质的词语，把印度经济的持续低迷和印度政府为改善此状况殚精竭力的情景描述得十分生动。
