-The problem is, if a context value provided by component changes, descendants that use that value won't update if an intermediate parent returns `false` from `shouldComponentUpdate`. This is totally out of control of the components using context, so there's basically no way to reliably update the context.

+问题是，如果组件提供的一个 context 发生了变化，而中间父组件的 `shouldComponentUpdate` 返回 `false`，那么使用到该值的后代组件不会进行更新。使用了 context 的组件则完全失控，所以基本上没有办法能够可靠的更新 context。[这篇博客文章](https://medium.com/@mweststrate/how-to-safely-use-react-context-b7e343eff076)很好地解释了为何会出现此类问题，以及你该如何规避它。
