bbc对比cnn英语

The British Broadcasting Corporation, which is usually known simply as the BBC, is the world's largest broadcasting corporation. It has 28,000 employees in the United Kingdom alone and an annual budget of more than £4 billion.[1][2]Founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd, it was subsequently granted a Royal Charter and made a state-owned corporation in 1927. The corporation produces programmes and information services, broadcasting globally on television, radio, and the Internet. The stated mission of the BBC is "to inform, educate and entertain" (as laid down by Parliament in the BBC Charter);[3] its motto is "Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation".The BBC is a quasi-autonomous public corporation as a public service broadcaster. The Corporation is run by the BBC Trust; and is, per its charter, "free from both political and commercial influence and answers only to its viewers and listeners".[4]The BBC's domestic programming and broadcasts are primarily funded by levying television licence fees (under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949), although money is also raised through commercial activities such as sale of merchandise and programming. The BBC World Service, however, is funded through a grant-in-aid by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. As part of the BBC Charter, the Corporation cannot show commercial advertising on any services in the United Kingdom (television, radio, or internet). Outside the United Kingdom the BBC broadcasts commercially funded channels such as BBC America, BBC Canada, and BBC World. In order to justify the licence fee, the BBC is expected to produce a number of high-rating shows[citation needed] in addition to programmes that commercial broadcasters would not normally broadcast.[4]Domestic UK audiences often refer to the BBC as "the Beeb", a nickname popularised by Kenny Everett.[5] Another nickname, now less commonly used, is "Auntie", said to originate from the old-fashioned "Auntie knows best" attitude, (but possibly a sly reference to the 'aunties' and 'uncles' who were presenters of children's programmes in early days)[6] in the days when John Reith, the BBC's founder, was in charge. The two nicknames have also been used together as "Auntie Beeb",[7] and Auntie has been used in outtakes programmes such as Auntie's Bloomers.[8]It is also the largest news gathering system by means of its newsgathering operation, BBC Newsgathering, which includes various regional offices, foreign correspondents and agreements with other news services.[9] It reaches more than 200 countries and is available to more than 274 million households, to CNN's (its nearest competitor) estimated 200 million. Its radio service is in the short wavelength, which makes it available to many regions of the world. It also broadcasts news - by radio or over the Internet - in some 30 languages.Cable News Network, commonly referred to by its initialism CNN, is a major news cable television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.[1][2] The network is now owned by Time Warner; the news network is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System. CNN introduced the idea of 24-hour television news coverage, celebrating its 25th anniversary on June 1, 2005.In terms of cumulative (Cume) Nielsen ratings or "unique viewers", CNN rates as America's number one cable news source.[3] While the news network has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C. As of December 2004, the network is available in 88.2 million U.S. households and more than 890,000 American hotel rooms.[citation needed] The U.S version of their broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN airs through CNN International and has combined branded networks and services that are available to more than 1.5 billion people in over 212 countries and territories.

BBC是英国的广播，CNN是美国的。如果想练习英式发音听BBC，想练美式的听CNN

可以先练习VOA，没问题后再听CNN。

VOA Special English不但是入门英语中不可多得的听力材料，也是纠正发音的绝佳材料。如果你词汇量相对较小，可以先从VOA Special English 开始听，速度慢，词汇量比普通英语节目小，容易懂。

BBC是纯正的英式发音，对于日后去英联邦国家留学的同学是一个非常好的听力材料。BBC新闻内容短小精炼，集中了世界关注的焦点新闻，让大家在训练听力的同时还能增长见识；并且发音优美动听，被誉为Queen's English（女王英语）；同时也是四六级、雅思、托福的考试题库。

CNN是第一个全天候24小时的新闻频道， CNN 英语每分钟大约 180 个单词，相对于 VOA 来说，语速较快，难度较大，同学们可以当作进阶练习。

VOA是Voice of American的缩写,CNN是Cable News Network,即有线电视新闻，BBC是British Broadcasting Company。在区别方面，一个是所属国家的不同，VOA和CNN是美国的媒体，BBC是英国的。虽然只是媒体公司的不同，但却是我们锻炼英语听力的一个进阶过程。本人是一个个听过来的，从慢速VOA开始，做听写，觉得很折磨~但是坚持下来了，将近两个月吧，继续慢速VOA已经没有什么意义了，开始挑战Standard VOA，那更是极大的折磨啊，感觉语速很快，头脑反映上一个单词的读音和意思的时候，下个句子都说完了，但还是做听写，听不清楚就来回反复听，1分钟左右长短的新闻正合适，坚持了两个月吧，至少已经习惯VOA的语速了，当然了，读音都是美音，偶尔杂点英音的片段，语调都很平稳，过度平滑，抑扬顿挫感不是很强烈，语速每分钟135个词左右，是美音的典范。因为各种考试大都以英音为主，所以我开始听BBC。刚开始又经历了一个不适应的过程，但是已经没有刚听VOA时痛苦了，语速更快一些，个别读音和美音有差别，在句子转折，升降上也有明显差别，但是我却感觉听起来更清晰了，而且我个人比较喜欢BBC的顿挫感。这个时候我几经很少听VOA了，经过之前的积淀，再坚持听BBC，其实听力已经有质的飞跃，再参加任何考试，听力语速都不会有比BBC再快的了，所以听起来感觉很轻松。我刚参加完6级考试就有这种体会，第一次考感觉听天书，这次考只想让播音员念的再快点，应为听着太慢了不舒服。现在就应该广泛的听各种材料了，和更难一些的材料，所以我在以听BBC为主的情况下，开始听CNN，语速比BBC还快，很多吞音，失暴，这时要求听力的境界已经不再是听清楚一个个单词然后头脑反映单词的意思，然后理解句子的意思，因为如果把CNN一个句子慢放拆解开，很多单词是听不出来的，这时需要的就是长时间的积累，对句子的感觉了，对语言本能的反应。就像一个人说了一段很快的中文，很多字没听清，但是他大概说什么自己知道，所以那些没听清的字是什么，我们却知道。因为中文本能的语言反映告诉我们，那些字，习惯说法只能是这些。CNN要求的就是这个。一句话流水一样过去了~~刚开始没适应的时候，可能一个单词都听不出来，但是量变引起质变，坚持听，英语听力绝对可以胜任听任何英语材料，胜任而且超越任何考试。

BBC 是英国电台，CNN是美国电台。四六级是两个人报，一个英式英语，一个美式英语。所以两者都要听。

bbc is british Englishvoa is American Englishcnn is american English whichis of normal speed faster than voa.

BBC是英国广播公司，CNN是有线电视新闻网，美国的广播公司。都向全世界播放广播。VOA不知道，可能差不多。
