ترجمه مطبوعاتی

همزمان با آتش بس موقت بین اسرائیل و حزب الله، حمله ناگهانی گروه های مخالف دولت بشار اسد به سمت حلب و بعد دمشق آغاز شد. تحولات سوریه آنچنان به سرعت اتفاق افتاد که مطالب و مقالات رسانه ها هم از آن جا می ماندند و هنوز مطلبی منتشر نشده بود که تغییرات جدید آن را از ارزش می انداخت. کسانی که نقشه تحولات سوریه را برای رسانه ها و شبکه های اجتماعی ترسیم می کردند نیز تقریبا خواب نداشتند و مدام مشغول اصلاح آن نقشه ها بودند.

لارا روزن روزنامه نگار آمریکایی جمعه گذشته و در حالی که حمص در توضیح تحولات سوریه، پیشروی سریع نیروهای مخالف بشار اسد و روند سقوط آن، در تیتر مقاله و ابتدای مقاله خود، از نقل قولی از کتاب خورشید همچنان می‌درخشد ارنست همینگوی استفاده کرده بود.

"Gradually, then suddenly"!

‘Gradually, then suddenly’: Syria rebels advance on strategic city of Homs, Assad forces fall back.

در اینجا همراه با تحولات سوریه، تیترها و مطالب رسانه ها که حاوی عبارت و واژه های جدید هستند به تدریج اضافه می شود:
