    逐字當他們第一次搬進去時，他們完全地重新裝潢了整棟房子。

    「redecorate」是「把房間或房子的樣子重新換過」——刷新漆、換壁紙、換窗簾，讓原本已經裝潢過的空間看起來不一樣。核心畫面可以想成「再 decorate 一次」：re- 帶有「再、重新」的感覺。常見說法：redecorate the kitchen、have the house redecorated、completely redecorated。跟 decorate 很近：decorate 是裝潢／佈置；redecorate 特別標出「已經裝過，現在再換一輪」。跟 remodel 不同：remodel 常改格局或結構（例如移牆）；redecorate 多半只改表面樣子。

core核心畫面

Picture the same room, same walls, same doors — but now with fresh paint, new wallpaper and different curtains. Nothing was knocked down or moved; only the surfaces that you see and touch were given a new look. The re- is the point: the room already had a look, and you are giving it another one.

可以想成同一個房間、同一面牆、同一扇門，只是換上了新油漆、新壁紙和不一樣的窗簾。沒有拆掉什麼，也沒有移動什麼，被換掉的只是眼睛看得到、手摸得到的那一層。re- 正是關鍵：這個空間本來就有一個樣子，你現在給它另一個樣子。
