喜樂美語

One way to picture renew: the clock on something was about to run out, and you wind it up again — the passport, the contract, the library loan, the effort you had let drop. Nothing is replaced by something different; the same thing simply gets a fresh stretch of time.

可以想成 renew 是「原本快要到期的那個計時器，被你重新上緊」：護照、合約、借書期限，或是一件你擱下來的努力。東西沒有被換成別的，只是同一樣東西又拿到了一段新的時間。
