Today's top news in The Daily Yomiuri bagins with the sentence as follows:
The nation's 2008 trade surplus plummeted 80 percent-the largest fall since comparable statistics became available in 1980,the Finance Ministry said Thursday.
The structure of this sentence is charactersitic of the newspaper articles.
As you know, the object of the verb "said" of this sentence is written before the subject and the verb come, because it is very long and accounts for the major part of the sentence. When we can read this sentence,we can easily understand the meaning and the sentence structure.
But how should we think about speaking this type of sentence in oral communication. I think it is probably all right.
But in my opinion,it would be more smart to say like these:The first one is " The nation's 2008 trade surplus plummeted 80 percent-the largest fall since comparable statistics became available in 1980.The Finance Ministry said so Thursday." , and another one is "The nation's 2008 trade surplus plummeted 80 percent-the largest fall since comparable statistics became available in 1980.This is said Thursday by the Finance Ministry."

私の友人が、伝え聞くところによると（allegedly or reportedly)、工事現場で約３トンの落下物が落ちてくるところ、その難を逃れた、らしい。それで、以下は、道を歩きながら考えたことである。
３トンの金属は、3 tons of metal でもmetal of 3 tons でもどちらでも言えそうだ。冠詞が入るとどうなるか？ 3 tons of the matal , the metal of 3 tons .
the metal of 3 tons は、問題の金属は３トン。3 tons of the matal は問題の金属は３トンかも知れないが３トン以上あるかも知れない。
The metal of 3 tons was dropped from the roof of a building.
