Niche the specific space occupied by an organism with its habitate.g. Amy, trying to keep as far from him as possible, moved across the stone floor of the tower roof, and found a niche which concealed her. He found the right niche for himself. (他为自己找到一份称心的工作.) niche market就是指“小众市场”，也被称为“缝隙市场、利基市场”。Niche是相对于mass（大众）而言的，与niche market相对的就是mass market（大众市场）。Niche market针对的是被忽略或细分的数量较小的客户群，这部分市场虽然规模不大，但由于传统营销无法满足此类需求，因此蕴含丰富的市场机遇。若能有效地将niche market的市场资源聚合起来，也能产生可观的利润。市场占有率小却针对性强，例如孕妇装。 How about long tail? grandiose: impressive because of unnecessary largeness or grandeur; used to show disapproval (= grand) e.g. He’s always producing grandiose plans that never work.

A car, for example, imposes itself on the neighborhood rather than being defined by it…(para. 7): A car does not respond to its environment but insists on its own needs being met... accommodate v. : To find a place for; have enough space fore.g. Are there enough shelves to accommodate all our books ?
