词：U-turn 

英英释义：a complete change of ideas, plans etc 

“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。虽然这个词看起来有点不正式，但在口语和一般的写作中都可以使用。

《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）翻译下面的句子： 

他的观点发生了 180° 大转弯，决定和前妻复婚。 

He made a U-turn and decided to remarry his ex-wife. 

（参考翻译：He has made a U-turn and decided to remarry his divorced wife. 

或 He has made a U-turn, deciding to remarry his ex-wife.） 

场景：我的考证计划发生了大转变。

造句：I made a U-turn on my plan to prepare for the certificate.
