逐字許多科技公司正在為了較低的辦公室成本搬遷到台中。
「relocate」是把人或公司「整個基地」搬到另一個地方——常指因工作、公司、辦公室而較長久地換地點。常見說法：relocate to Taipei、relocate staff to a new office、be relocated to temporary housing。跟 move 容易搞混：move 是日常「搬家／移動」；relocate 更正式，常出現在公司、機關、因工作搬遷的新聞裡。跟 transfer 也近：transfer 常是同一組織裡換部門／辦公室；relocate 更強調「搬到另一個地方」本身。核心畫面可以想成把家或辦公室整包撿起，再放到新的地方。
