2. 为什么选这个词?

“landscape”常用作名词,表示“自然景色”,不过它也常常用来引申表示“形势” “局面”。我们在口语和写作中,常常可以用 landscape 替换“situation”。

比如我们常说的“政治局面” “经济形势”就可以分别说成“political landscape” “economic landscape”。我们想说科技改变了教育的风貌,就可以说:

再比如商业局面变得越来越有挑战、难以预测,许多公司开始裁员:

As the business landscape has become more difficult and unpredictable, many companies start laying off workers.

《经济学人》中也经常使用 landscape 的这种用法,比如说到中国的“金融科技”(fintech)时说:

The landscape of Chinese fintech is dominated by two players: Ant Financial, an affiliate of Alibaba, and Tencent, best known for WeChat, its social-media network.
