2019-04-11每日一词U-turn

“U-turn”是可数名词,本意是“掉头、转弯”,可以引申为“改变”。开车时“掉头”的英文就是 make a U-turn,所以这个词一点都不难记。U-turn 的引申义“改变”相比 change 更强调改变的彻底性,因此是个非常形象、准确的单词。 英英释义:a complete change of ideas, plans etc


例句:

① 在过去两年里,这个地方政府的政策一点都不连贯,总会有各种改变,就可以说:

In the past two years, the local government has been utterly inconsistent with its policies, making various U-turns.

② 如果你想要成为一名受人尊重的领导人,你应该避免过多的决策大转弯,我们可以说:

If you want to be a respected leader, you had better avoid making too many U-turns when making decisions.

③ 不少人批评这个欧洲政府在移民政策问题上出尔反尔, 可以这么写:

Many critics accuse the European government of doing a sudden U-turn on its promise to take in more immigrants.

④《经济学人》在说到变化时常会用 U-turn,比如下面这两句:

1) Earlier this year, AMD forced Intel to make a U-turn in its 64-bit-chip strategy.

2) A year later, following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the markets made a U- turn.


1)翻译:

他的观点发生了 180° 大转弯,决定和前妻复婚。
