landscape n.
释义：the main features of a situation or activity
“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”。
例① 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.
例② 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.
例③《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.
