1. 认识这个词（基础篇）
英英释义： to influence the way that a person, idea, or situation develops
例句：Phenomenal English is shaping how English learners approach the language.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
“shape”作为名词表示“形状”，它也常作为动词使用，意思是“影响”、“塑造”、“决定”。用它可以替换 influence 和 have an impact on。由于“shape”有“形状”的意思，因此作“塑造”的意思形象生动，表示影响的程度很大。
比如，柯林斯词典中就有这样一个简单实用的例句：
Like it or not, our families shape our lives and make us what we are.
《经济学人》在写政策、制度、法规等对社会和人的影响时，会经常用到这个词。2016 年《经济学人》圣诞特刊中，有一篇文章写的是经济学人集团所在的大楼对它的影响，作者是这样写的：
Over the years the building has shaped The Economist in several ways, some good, some less so.
再如，On Writing Well 的作者 William Zinsser 在另一本著作 Writing Places 中，提到一份报纸对他童年的影响时是这样写的：
When I was a kid the Herald Tribune had shaped the values I would take through life as a writer.
当我还是个孩子的时候，先驱论坛报已塑造了我作为作家一生要承担的价值观。
