用法說明

restore + 名詞 vs restore + 受詞 + to + 名詞/原形動詞

  • restore + 名詞 是最常見的結構,表示「修復、恢復」某個事物本身,例如修復建築、恢復秩序或健康。
  • restore + 受詞 + to + 名詞 強調將某物或某人「恢復到」某個特定的狀態、位置或職位。介系詞 to 在這裡是關鍵。
  • restore + 受詞 + to + 原形動詞 這個結構較為少見且正式,通常用於法律、古文或特定文體,表示恢復某人做某事的權利或能力。
  • 混淆常發生在是否該使用 to。記住:如果後面接的是目標狀態或位置(名詞),就需要 to;如果只是直接修復物件本身,則不需要。 EN: The team worked hard to restore the ancient temple. 翻譯: 團隊努力修復這座古老的寺廟。

restore vs repair

「restore」強調將事物恢復到其原始、完好或完整的狀態,通常涉及修復、翻新或重建,使其重現昔日風貌或功能。而「repair」則更廣泛地指修復損壞、故障或破損的部分,使其恢復正常運作,但不一定涉及恢復到原始狀態或外觀。

restore vs renew

「restore」側重於將某物恢復到其先前的狀態、功能或完整性,常涉及修復或重建。而「renew」則強調更新、延續或重新開始,賦予新的活力、期限或內容,不一定與修復舊狀態有關。

restore vs recover

「restore」通常是及物動詞,指(某人)使某事物恢復原狀,強調主動的修復或歸還動作。而「recover」可作及物或不及物動詞,指(某人或某物)從損失、疾病或困境中恢復過來,或重新獲得失去的東西,強調恢復的過程或結果。

restore vs revive

「restore」主要強調恢復到之前的狀態、功能或完整性。而「revive」則強調使某事物復甦、重獲生機或重新流行,常帶有從沉寂、衰退或無意識狀態中甦醒的意味。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Restore"?Which "Restore" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×They restored the old painting to its original color.

They restored the old painting to its original colors.

當指恢復到多種顏色或整體色調時,應使用複數名詞 'colors'。使用單數 'color' 可能暗示只有一種單一的顏色。

×I need to restore back my computer.

I need to restore my computer.

'Restore' 本身已包含『恢復到先前狀態』的意思,加上 'back' 是多餘且不正確的。

×The government is trying to restore the economy growing.

The government is trying to restore economic growth.

'Restore' 後應接名詞或名詞片語作為受詞,表示恢復的『事物』,而非動詞-ing形式。正確用法是使用名詞片語 'economic growth'。

×Can you restore this file for me? (當意思是『修復損壞的檔案』時)

Can you repair/recover this file for me?

'Restore' 通常指將某物『恢復到原狀或先前的狀態』,常用於系統、設定、資料從備份還原。對於修復物理損壞或資料損毀,更常使用 'repair'(修復)或 'recover'(復原)。

×He restored his health after taking medicine.

He regained his health after taking medicine. / His health was restored after he took medicine.

雖然語意上可理解,但以人為主詞搭配 'restore health' 較不自然。更地道的說法是使用 'regain one's health' 或被動語態 'health was restored'。'Restore' 用於健康時,主語常是治療、休息等。

×The technician restored the software.

The technician reinstalled / repaired the software.

'Restore' 用於軟體時,通常指『將軟體恢復到之前的版本或設定』,或從備份映像還原整個系統。如果是初次安裝失敗後重新安裝,或修復損壞的安裝,應使用 'reinstall' 或 'repair'。
