1. 這是什么詞膝但?
詞:landscape
英英釋義:the main features of a situation or activity
例句:Technology has transformed the educational landscape.
2. 為什么選這個詞呻逆?
“l(fā)andscape”常用作名詞吉嚣,表示“自然景色”挑随,不過它也常常用來引申表示“形勢” “局面”。我們在口語和寫作中电谣,常呈盎可以用 landscape 替換“situation”。
比如我們常說的“政治局面” “經(jīng)濟形勢”就可以分別說成“political landscape” “economic landscape”植影。我們想說科技改變了教育的風(fēng)貌裳擎,就可以說:
Technology has transformed the educational landscape.
再比如商業(yè)局面變得越來越有挑戰(zhàn)、難以預(yù)測思币,許多公司開始裁員:
As the business landscape has become more difficult and unpredictable, many companies start laying off workers.
《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》中也經(jīng)常使用 landscape 的這種用法鹿响,比如說到中國的“金融科技”(fintech)時說:
The landscape of Chinese fintech is dominated by two players: Ant Financial, an affiliate of Alibaba, and Tencent, best known for WeChat, its social-media network.
3. 怎樣學(xué)會使用這個詞?
1)翻譯下面的句子:
這張專輯深刻影響了音樂行業(yè)谷饿。
(參考翻譯:The album has significantly shaped the musical landscape. )
2)結(jié)合自己的生活惶我、學(xué)習(xí)、工作博投、興趣等绸贡,想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達。先簡要描述這個場景毅哗,再造句听怕。
例子: 醫(yī)療創(chuàng)新,自媒體
場景 :
Innovation has transformd the medical landscape.
As the traditional madia landscape has become more difficult and unpredictable, many journalist start trying self-media.
