    「renovation」是名詞,核心意思是「把舊房子/舊空間修好、改好,讓它再次好用好看」的那整段工程或過程。它跟動詞 renovate 是一家人:renovate a house → the renovation of a house / a house renovation。How can we think of renovation? 核心畫面可以想成「舊的地方重新變好用」——比 repair(修好壞掉的部分)更大、比 restore(盡量恢復原貌)更常說「翻新」;台灣口語的「裝修」有時偏裝潢美觀,renovation 更強調修好並更新。

core核心畫面

One way to picture renovation: the and dust sheets stage — the work of bringing an old building or room back to good condition. It names the whole job rather than a single repair, which is why it often turns up in the plural: the hotel is closed for renovations.

可以想成 renovation 是「鷹架搭起來、家具蓋著防塵布」的那個階段:把老建築或舊房間修回好狀態的整套工程。它指的是整件工事,不是單一次修理,所以常以複數出現:the hotel is closed for renovations。
