    1.认识这个词(基础篇)

    词:shift

    英英释义:to change a situation, discussion, etc by giving special attention to one idea or subject instead of to a previous one

    例句:An increasing number of English learners are shifting their focus from input to output.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

    “shift”本意是一个物体、一个东西的位置发生了变化,电脑上的“shift”键就是切换键,按住它再按其它的键就会实现不同的功能。

    “shift”逐渐也引申为表示观点、态度、聚焦点等的变化,很多时候都可以用它替换“change”。

    比如,最近几年大众对同性恋的态度已经有所改变了,就可以说:

    Attitudes to homosexuality have shifted in recent years.

    再比如,很多人已经不再选择拥有自己的自行车,而是骑共享单车了,就可以说:

    Many have shifted from owning bicycles to using shared bicycles.

    再如,William Zinsser 在写到自己写作的兴趣时也用到了“shift”:

    I wanted to understand what was happening, and as the old values shifted, so did my concerns as a journalist.

    3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子:

    这家消费品公司的战略从国内市场转移到了国外市场。

    This consumer company has shifted its strategy from demestic market to overseas market.

    (参考翻译:This consumer company has shifted its strategy from domestic market to overseas market.)

    2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

    场景:自我剖析的时候

    造句:I have shifted my focus  on music from listening to playing.
