Picture something that used to be a certain way, then was lost or damaged, and is now put back as it was. Restore is that putting-back. The word always looks over its shoulder at an earlier state — order before the riot, paint before it , a king before he was — which is why it never simply means "make good".

可以想成:一樣東西本來是某個樣子,後來壞了或失去了,現在被弄回原本的樣子。restore 就是這個「放回去」。這個字永遠回頭看著一個更早的狀態——暴動前的秩序、褪色前的顏料、被廢黜前的國王——所以它從來不只是「弄好」,而是「弄回去」。沒有那個「本來」,就用不上它。
