变天了,赶快往家里收谷子。


水饺市场大变天,外带小门面风头盖过堂食连锁

在经历了近2年的晶圆紧缺之后,现在晶圆市场已经变天了

中国要变天了
-----------------------------------

Editor: A "sea change" is typically seen as a significant improvement in the situation
- Having mental health as part of the police department is a sea change in law enforcement.
- That is an astounding sea change, after years upon years of many orchestras and opera companies reflexively fearing newer works as box office poison.
- But the invasion of Ukraine has triggered a political sea change, with Berlin now providing artillery and tanks to Kyiv while backing sanctions on Russia’s economy.

A 變天, on the other hand, is not necessarily seen as a good thing:

劉貴坪記得,1990年之前,大陸在日本冷凍毛豆市場的市占率,少到不足2%。他沒有料到,之後的情勢出現大逆轉,幾乎是一夕變天。
Liu Kuei-ping, chairman of the Young Sun Frozen Foods Company, recalls that before 1990, mainland China’s share of Japan’s frozen edamame market was less than 2%. He never expected that there would be such a rapid shift in relative status virtually overnight.

但近來隨著海南政府改弦易轍,計畫將海南島打造成國際休閒旅遊園地,土地政策可能一夕變天,已經投下資本的台農即將面臨「無地可耕」、「打道回府」的困境。該不該收手?也成為他們苦思的難題。
But the Hainan government’s more recent plans call for turning the island into an international tourism destination. This is raising the prospect of rapid changes to land policy that could potentially compel Taiwanese to shut down their farms and come home. Should they give up? Many are giving the question careful thought.

An example where the changes are *not* seen in such a negative light:
一九九○年開始,東歐變天、蘇聯分裂,共產陣營瞬間土崩瓦解。
Starting in 1990, with the great changes in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Communist camp collapsed in what seemed to be the twinkling of an eye.
