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.
