Abstract: Based on Chinese and American military news reports on USS Connecticut collision in the South China Sea, this paper uses proximization theory as the theoretical framework to make a contrastive study of the discourse strategies from the two medias reports on the same event from spatialtemporalaxiological perspective. The findings suggest that Chinese and American mainstream media, for the sake of their own interests and ideologies, apply different proximization strategies to report the same military event with the purpose of creating a public opinion environment that meets their own interests and thus influencing or even manipulating audiences perceptions, stances and emotional intentions.

Key words: military news reports; USS Connecticut collision in the South China Sea; Chinese and American mainstream media; proximization theory

摘要： 以中美主流媒体对2021年美国核潜艇“康涅狄格”号在南海发生碰撞事故的相关报道为语料，基于趋近化理论，从空间、时间和价值趋近化三个维度，对比分析不同立场媒体就同一事件报道所采用的话语策略。中美主流媒体从各自国家利益和意识形态出发，将不同的趋近化策略运用于同一军事事件的新闻构建，营造符合自身利益所需的舆论环境，并由此影响甚至操纵受众的认知、立场和情感意向。
