1. 這是什么詞?
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(gè)詞哩照?
“l(fā)andscape”常用作名詞扮叨,表示“自然景色”,不過它也常常用來引申表示“形勢” “局面”撞反。我們在口語和寫作中发乔,常城洋Γ可以用 landscape 替換“situation”。
比如我們常說的“政治局面” “經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢”就可以分別說成“political landscape” “economic landscape”拆内。我們想說科技改變了教育的風(fēng)貌旋圆,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)測麸恍,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(jì)學(xué)人》中也經(jīng)常使用 landscape 的這種用法灵巧,比如說到中國的“金融科技”(fintech)時(shí)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(huì)使用這個(gè)詞?
1)翻譯下面的句子:
這張專輯深刻影響了音樂行業(yè)。
(參考翻譯:The album has significantly shaped the musical landscape. )
2)結(jié)合自己的生活刻肄、學(xué)習(xí)瓤球、工作、興趣等肄方,想象在什么語境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)冰垄。先簡要描述這個(gè)場景,再造句权她。
