像generation gap这样的gap组合词，在英语里还有好几个，“代沟”出现得稍迟一点，但其流行程度却后来居上。 gap组合词的始祖恐怕是missile gap了。此一词组创于一九六○年美国总统大选期间，用来表示美、苏两国火箭武器力量的均势已被打破，苏联已开始占优。故此，missile gap可译为“导弹力量差距”。gap在这里不译为“沟”，否则会使词组的含意不明确。 missile gap流行开去之后，几个模仿此结构的新词组以陆续出现。它们包括news gap，production gap，culture gap，development gap和communication gap。 news gap指国家与国家、国家与地区与地区之间由于某种关系而致彼此的消息不能正常传送。这就是

英语像汉语一样在不断地发展与变化，外国人学习现代英语，非多看中国报刊、多听中文广播或多看中文电视不可。同样，我们在学习现代英语时，也要尽可能经常接触英语报刊、广播。毫不夸张地说，当今社会日新月异地发展，成百上千倍地拓展了现代英语的涵盖范畴，以至于有人戏言，倘若莎士比亚再生，恐怕也要沦为文盲。而英语世界里这一日千里的变迁和由此带来的新生事物，除了报刊等英语新闻媒体外，几乎找不到更好的手段予以详细记录。现代英语已与我们的长辈几十年以前从课本上学到的英语有了区别。虽说是大同小异，但小异在哪儿？最简便的方法就是从英语报刊等新闻媒介中寻找。可见，新闻英语无疑将有助于我们学习现代英语的各种实用文体与风格，扩大学习视野，丰富各方面的知识。
