    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:

    这张专辑深刻影响了音乐行业。

    This album has a profound impact on the landscape of music industry.

    (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: Alibaba's unmanned hotel tells us that artificial intelligence may shape the landscape of hospitality industry.
