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.
1)翻译下面的句子:
很多人认为,我们所讲的语言可以决定我们的思维方式。
Many people yhink that the language we speak can shape our thinking.
(参考翻译:Many believe that the language we speak shapes the way we think.)
