以下3句話摘自 Born a crime
1. I think he thought he was giving me an ultimatum that would get me to shape up.
shape up 好好表現(xiàn),做出改進(jìn)
這個(gè)短語(yǔ)有三個(gè)含義:
a. to improve your behaviour or work
b. to make progress in a particular way
c. shape up or ship out AmE spoken used to tell someone that if they do not improve, they will be made to leave a place or their job 表現(xiàn)好一點(diǎn),否則請(qǐng)走人
2. That experience shaped what I’ve felt about relationships for the rest of my life: You do not own the thing that you love.
3. Their religion, their institutions, all of the things that shaped their culture came from Afrikaners.
下文:現(xiàn)象級(jí)英語(yǔ)社群
1. 認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞(基礎(chǔ)篇)
詞:shape
英英釋義: to influence the way that a person, idea, or situation develops
例句:Phenomenal English is shaping how English learners approach the language.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“shape”作為名詞表示“形狀”,它也常作為動(dòng)詞使用,意思是“影響”、“塑造”、“決定”。用它可以替換 influence 和 have an impact on。由于“shape”有“形狀”的意思,因此作“塑造”的意思形象生動(dòng),表示影響的程度很大。
比如,柯林斯詞典中就有這樣一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單實(shí)用的例句:
Like it or not, our families shape our lives and make us what we are.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在寫政策、制度、法規(guī)等對(duì)社會(huì)和人的影響時(shí),會(huì)經(jīng)常用到這個(gè)詞。2016 年《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》圣誕特刊中,有一篇文章寫的是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人集團(tuán)所在的大樓對(duì)它的影響,作者是這樣寫的:
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,提到一份報(bào)紙對(duì)他童年的影響時(shí)是這樣寫的:
When I was a kid the Herald Tribune had shaped the values I would take through life as a writer.
另外,“reshape”也經(jīng)常出現(xiàn),可以和“shape”放在一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)。
3. 從認(rèn)識(shí)到會(huì)用(作業(yè))
1)翻譯下面的句子:
很多人認(rèn)為,我們所講的語(yǔ)言可以決定我們的思維方式。
(參考翻譯:Many believe that the language we speak shapes the way we think.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活、學(xué)習(xí)、工作、興趣等,想象在什么語(yǔ)境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景,再造句。
