Day 4 shift
释义:①v. to change a situation, discussion, etc by giving special attention to one idea or subject instead of to a previous one
例句:
1-Attitudes to homosexuality have shifted in recent years.
2-Many have shifted from owning bicycles to using shared bicycles.
3-I wanted to understand what was happening, and as the old values shifted, so did my concerns as a journalist.
练习:
1-翻译:The strategy of this consumer company has shifted from domestic market to foreign market.(这家消费品公司的战略从国内市场转移到了国外市场→(参考翻译)This consumer company has shifted its strtergy from domestic market to overseas market.)
反思:翻译时犯了只注重字面而忽略实际含义的错误。shift这个动作的主语应该是“这家公司”,但我却按照题目的顺序译成了“the strategy of this consumer company(这家消费品公司的战略)”,这样一来,句子主语变成strategy,那它和谓语动词shift之间的关系应该是被动,应该写成“has been shifted”。
2-造句:
场景:越来越多的课堂正在从教师主体向学生主体转变。
造句:More and more lessons are being shifted from teacher-centered to student-centered.
