orientation与direction的区别
答
简单的说orientation和direction用的方向是不同的,
orientation 可以指direction,但是比较少用
如:Because of the building’s orientation the garden gets very little sun.
在更多的情况下,orientation指的是:
1) the particular interests,aims,and emphasis of a business,political group,or other organization
如:Market orientation emphasizes the needs of the customer.
2)someone’s basic attitudes or beliefs
如:worries about the political orientation of the commission
3) information or training that you are given before you start a new job or activity
如:a work orientation course for recent graduates
而direction就是指比较特定的平时我们说的方向,当然除此,还有一些用法
在用法上平时多注意收集下材料就好了~
不一一列举.direction在平时的日常对话中常用,而orientation属于一个比较formal的词语~
