喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/ˌriːˈsteɪtmənt/重述／重申

    The act of saying something again in a different way so it is clearer or stronger; also the new statement itself.

    示範例句 · Example

    The last paragraph was only a restatement of the main idea.

    逐字最後一段只是主要想法的一個重述。

    「restatement」核心意思是「把已經說過的意思再說一次」——常常換比較清楚的字，或把重點講得更用力。常見：a restatement of the rules、a clear / brief restatement、give a restatement。核心畫面可以想成「意思留著，再說一次」。跟 restate 成對：restate 是動詞「去重述／重申」，restatement 是名詞「重述這件事／重述出來的那一段」。跟 paraphrase 也容易混：paraphrase 偏「換字保留意思」的寫作技巧；restatement 偏「再講一次、講清楚或講更用力」，不一定大改字。跟 summary 比：summary 是大幅縮短、只留重點；restatement 不一定變短。

core核心畫面

Picture the same point being said a second time, but shaped differently — not because the first version was wrong, but so it lands harder or reads clearer. Restatement is that second saying, and it also names the new wording itself.

可以想成：同一個意思再說一次，但換了個說法——不是因為第一次講錯了，而是為了讓它更清楚、或更有力。restatement 就是這第二次的說，也可以指說出來的那段新的文字。所以它既是動作也是成品，跟中文的「重申」很像。
