一、例句

It [Google] has shaped the age of the internet and mobile computing in the way that Microsoft helped define the age of the desktop PC. (The Economist)

二、句子解析

类比是写作中经常使用的灵活技巧。写作经验丰富的作者往往会把读者不熟悉的内容和熟悉的内容做类比，帮助读者更好地理解某个新的概念、趋势。

我们今天就来学习一个类比句式。当我们想表示“正如 Z 帮助定义了 W 时代意义，X 塑造了 Y 时代”时，就可以用“X has shaped the age of the Y in the way that Z helped define the age of the W”这一句式。

这个句子中的 shape 和 define 是同义替换，都可以表示在某个领域的开创性和影响力。

学习建议：我们在平时的阅读中也可以留意其他类比句式。
