1. 這是個(gè)什么詞熄驼？
詞：U-turn
英英釋義：a complete change of ideas, plans etc
例句：In the past two years, the local government has been utterly inconsistent with its policies, making various U-turns.
2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞兆衅？
“U-turn”是可數(shù)名詞专普，本意是“掉頭俺亮、轉(zhuǎn)彎”渡蜻，可以引申為“改變”十偶。開車時(shí)“掉頭”的英文就是 make a U-turn转捕，所以這個(gè)詞一點(diǎn)都不難記。U-turn 的引申義“改變”相比 change 更強(qiáng)調(diào)改變的徹底性耗式，因此是個(gè)非常形象胁住、準(zhǔn)確的單詞。雖然這個(gè)詞看起來有點(diǎn)不正式刊咳，但在口語和一般的寫作中都可以使用彪见。我們來看幾個(gè)例子。
在過去兩年里娱挨，這個(gè)地方政府的政策一點(diǎn)都不連貫余指，總會(huì)有各種改變，就可以說：
In the past two years, the local government has been utterly inconsistent with its policies, making various U-turns.
如果你想要成為一名受人尊重的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人跷坝，你應(yīng)該避免過多的決策大轉(zhuǎn)彎酵镜，我們可以說：
If you want to be a respected leader, you had better avoid making too many U-turns when making decisions.
不少人批評(píng)這個(gè)歐洲政府在移民政策問題上出爾反爾， 可以這么寫：
Many critics accuse the European government of doing a sudden U-turn on its promise to take in more immigrants.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在說到變化時(shí)常會(huì)用 U-turn柴钻，比如下面這兩句：
1) Earlier this year, AMD forced Intel to make a U-turn in its 64-bit-chip strategy.
2) A year later, following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the markets made a U- turn.
3. 怎樣學(xué)會(huì)使用這個(gè)詞淮韭？
1）翻譯下面的句子：
他的觀點(diǎn)發(fā)生了 180° 大轉(zhuǎn)彎，決定和前妻復(fù)婚贴届。
（參考翻譯：He has made a U-turn and decided to remarry his divorced wife. 或 He has made a U-turn, deciding to remarry his ex-wife.）
2）結(jié)合自己的生活靠粪、學(xué)習(xí)蜡吧、工作、興趣等占键，想象在什么語境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)昔善。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景，再造句捞慌。
In the past two years, the local government has been utterly inconsistent with its policies, making various U-turns.
