Of his bones are coral made.Those are pearls that were his eyes. Nothing of him that doth fade.But doth suffer a sea change.Into something rich and strange. 這術語起源於莎士比亞的戲劇《暴風雨》(1:2;1612年)中的“suffer a sea change”,Ariel在劇中唱道(第474-480行):你父親躺在海底五十英尺。他的骨頭是由珊瑚製成的,那珍珠是他的眼睛。他身上沒有任何東西會褪色,但會經歷翻天覆地的變化,變成豐富而奇異的東西。 !! The term was shortened to sea change (changed by the sea) in the latter part of the 19th century,to mean profound transformation caused by any agency.The term is frequently used in a grandiloquent and perhaps irrelevant way of saying‘change.’ 該術語在19世紀後期被縮寫為sea change(海洋帶來的變化),意指由任何中介引起的深刻變樣。這個詞常被用來誇張地、或許無關的方式來表達“改變”。 >> Study Hard is entering a sea change period now that it has partnered with Buzzup Ltd.
