He turned the table.
他扭转了局面。
要理解这个句子,关键是理解固定短语turn the tables on somebody的意思。对此,英文的解释是,to suddenly take a position of strength or advantage that was formerly held by someone else,即,对……人反败为胜,转弱为强。在某些场景中,还有“与……互换座次”的意思。
例句:She played badly in the first set, but then she turned the tables on her opponent and won the match
在第一局她打得很糟,但她后来反败为胜并最终赢得了比赛。
