形狀 Shape/Form
形狀是指物體或幾何體所具有的某種形式的表面或輪廓。
1.The company is in good shape so far despite the recession.盡管現(xiàn)在是經濟蕭條時期,該公司到目前為止仍處于良好狀態(tài)。
2.He's just a square peg in a round hole.他根本就不合適。
3.As far as the negotiations are concerned, we just seem to be going roundand round in circles.就談判而言,我們似乎只是在兜圈子,毫無進展。

5.That new assistant either needs to shape up or ship out.新來的助理如果不好好干就請他走人。
6.What goes around comes around.一報還一報/善有善報,惡有惡報。
7.The only suggestion I'd like to make is to modify the shape of the buttonsfrom elliptical to rectangular.我只想提一個意見,就是把按鈕的形狀由橢圓形改成長方形。
8.These negotiations are impossible!It's like trying to square the circle!這些談判是不可能完成的!簡直是白費力氣!
9.If we changed our presentation boxes to cubes it would make them easierto pack into crates for shipping.如果我們把禮品盒的形狀改成方形的話,在裝運時就能很容易地把它們放進木箱里。

Subject:Software user interface design
Dear Jim,
I have had a chance to look at your design for the new software user interface. You've done a superb job in every respect.The only suggestion I'd like to make is to modify the shape of the buttons from elliptical to rectangular.I think this would create a sharper, more professional look.
Thanks,
Mary Yao
親愛的吉姆:
我已經看到了你為那款新軟件設計的用戶界面。你在各方面做得都超棒。我只想提一個意見,就是把按鈕的形狀從橢圓形改成長方形。我認為這樣會使整個界面看上去更鮮明,而且更專業(yè)。
謝謝!
