媒体

♡Buckets of ink were spilled analysing what the rules signal about the Chinese education.

许多报道都在争相分析新规则对于中国教育行业的意义。

对教育行业

♡She could see the force of change crashing through the industry

双减政策引起整个行业的震荡。

描写某事件的不良影响，此处用了crash through,还可运用ripple through、cascade through。 

ripple作为名词是“涟漪”的意思，将一颗石子扔入一片平静的湖水，会泛起阵阵涟漪。那么作为动词ripple有“波及、影响”的意思，相对平常使用的influence等词，更形象生动。同样地cascade作为名词是“瀑布”的意思，作动词用cascade through也能表示“波及、影响”。

e.g The grim unemployment situation is likely to ripple through the economy. 严峻的失业状况大概会波及整个经济。

Factory closures will cascade through the global economy. 关闭工厂将波及全球经济。

总结：crash through, ripple through, cascade through表示“影响、波及”

♡The effect was like an earthquake hitting the industry, which sent stock prices of publicly-traded tutoring companies plummeting.

双减政策引起了教育行业的“地震”，上市教培企业的股价也因此一落千丈。

这里用“地震”来形容双减政策的影响，可以提取出"The effect was like an earthquake hitting➕主体"这个句型。例如，新冠疫情引起了全球股市震荡。运用这个句型，这句话就是“The effect of COVID-19 epidemic is like an earthquake hitting the global equity market.”

The Chinese government crackdown on private tutoring was like watching an avalanche from a nearby mountain.

观望中国政府整顿教培行业，仿佛是眼看着临近雪山雪崩。

上文用“地震”来形容事件的影响，这里则用“雪崩”来形容。提取句型就是sth➕was like watching an avalanche from a nearby mountain

总结：运用比喻来形象化表达“影响”，句型"The effect was like an earthquake hitting➕主体"，"sth➕was like watching an avalanche from a nearby mountain"

♡ The crackdown could also dash hopes by Yuanfudao and Zuoyebang, two leading online education groups known for test preparation, to float in the US or Hong Kong.They are not attuned to policy shifts.

政府整顿教培行业，让猿辅导和作业帮等以备考知名的头部在线教育公司到美国或香港上市的希望破灭。他们的发展方向和政策转向背道而驰。

dash hopes意为希望破灭，还可以用"ruin/destroy/extinguish/kill/shatter one's hopes"表达。float最常见的意思是“漂浮”，在此处是指“股票上市”。

attune to “使协调，合拍，适应，接纳”，作适应之意时，可以替换adapt/accommodate

E.g A society more attuned to consumerism

♡That could drive education technology companies like VIPKID out of business.

这可能会让VIPKID 等教育科技公司倒闭。

 The policy has forced many cram schools to downsize, with some going bankrupt or being on the verge of bankruptcy.

双减政策落地，许多补习班被迫裁员，还有一些补习机构倒闭或濒临倒闭。

这两句都是写教育公司或机构倒闭。我们可以学到“倒闭”的多种表达，例如“drive…out of business”“go bankrupt”。其他类似表达还有：close down, business failure, collapse。

学生们长期承受着巨大的学习压力，双减政策对他们来说是救星，肩上的担子一下子就轻了。breathe a sigh of relief意为“如释重负、松了一口气”。

E.g The world can breathe a huge sigh of relief as the global recession is over.

 All the competitors could breathe a sigh of relief when at the ending of the fierce competition.

♡The restrictions on after-school classes could undermine fairness in education, as children of affluent families that can afford private tutors will have a big edge over their less fortune peers.

富裕家庭的孩子不惜花高价聘请私人家教，而家境较差的学生却难以负担高额的教育支出。从这点来看，限制课外培训可能不利于教育公平的发展，家境富裕的学生在个人教育上将会占优势。

edge在此处是“优势”的意思，A has a big edge over B, A相对于B占极大的优势地位。另外常用的表达还有cutting edge，意为“事物发生的前沿，领先阶段，优势”

E.g The real cutting edge has shifted to a new form: short Web videos.
