    示範例句 · Example

    Remember to proofread your essay before you hand it in.

    逐字記得在你繳交作文之前校對你的作文。

    「proofread」是把寫好或印好的文字再仔細讀一遍，找出拼寫、標點、小錯誤並改掉——交出去或出版前的最後檢查。常見說法：proofread an essay / letter、remember to proofread、proofread on the hard copy（印出來的紙本）。核心畫面可以想成「再讀一遍，把錯抓出來」。跟 edit 比：edit 常改措辭、結構；proofread 焦點在找錯字、標點等小錯。跟 rewrite 比：rewrite 是較大的重寫；proofread 通常不大改意思。

core核心畫面

Picture reading your own page one more time, but slowly, hunting rather than enjoying — a missing , a name spelled two ways, a line that says the opposite of what you meant. It is a second pass with a different job: not to take the meaning in, but to catch what slipped.

可以想成：把自己寫好的東西再看一遍，但這次讀得很慢，是在找東西而不是在讀內容——漏掉的逗號、前後不一致的人名、一句意思剛好相反的話。它是第二次閱讀，任務完全不同：不是要吸收意思，而是要抓出溜過去的錯誤。所以英文才用 read 加上印刷業的 proof（校樣）組成這個字。
