  1. 1vB2/ˌriːˈraɪt/重寫；改寫

    to write something again, changing the words, often to make it clearer or better.

    示範例句 · Example

    Perhaps you ought to rewrite the first paragraph to make it a little clearer.

    逐字也許你應該重寫第一段，讓它清楚一點。

    「rewrite」是把「已經寫好的東西」再寫一次——通常換說法、改結構，讓意思更清楚，或因為有了新資訊。常見搭配：rewrite a paragraph / essay / script、rewrite something to make it clearer。可以想成 re- + write：再寫一遍。跟 edit 容易搞混——edit 常是改錯字、小地方；rewrite 改動更大，幾乎像重新寫過。學校作文也常說 revise（修改稿），但 rewrite 更強調「整段／整篇再寫」。
