1. 这是什么词？
词：landscape
英英释义：the main features of a situation or activity
例句：Technology has transformed the educational landscape.
2. 为什么选这个词？
“landscape”常用作名词，表示“自然景色”，不过它也常常用来引申表示“形势” “局面”。我们在口语和写作中，常常可以用 landscape 替换“situation”。
比如我们常说的“政治局面” “经济形势”就可以分别说成“political landscape” “economic landscape”。我们想说科技改变了教育的风貌，就可以说：
Technology has transformed the educational landscape.
再比如商业局面变得越来越有挑战、难以预测，许多公司开始裁员：
As the business landscape has become more difficult and unpredictable, many companies start laying off workers.
《经济学人》中也经常使用 landscape 的这种用法，比如说到中国的“金融科技”（fintech）时说：
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. 怎样学会使用这个词？
1）翻译下面的句子：

（参考翻译：The album has significantly shaped the musical landscape. ）
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。
例子：商业
场景 ：Commercial landscape has been shaped. As recently as 2006 Africa’s three biggest trading partners were America, China and France, in that order. By 2018 it was China first, India second and America third(France was seventh).
