Restore, refresh, renew and renovate 以Re开头的四个动词

"Hi, my name is Jasmine. I am from Hubei University. I want to know the differences between restore, refresh, renew and renovate."

Jasmine from Hu Bei University

我们先来看看 restore,refresh,renew and renovate 有什么共同特点?回答是,它们都以 “re” 开头。“Re” 是个英语前缀,在很多情况下都表示“重新”,“重复”或 “再”的意思。比如 reopen, redecorate 和 remarry 等等。

掌握词缀能帮助我们扩展英语词汇,提高阅读理解能力。不过前缀的意思并不总是一样的,就拿 restore,refresh,renew and renovate 来说吧,每个词的含义和用法并不完全一样。要不你来试试看,用 restore,refresh,renew 或 renovate 来完成下面四句话。答案在节目文字稿例句中。

1. The government is trying to _________ public confidence in its education policy.

2. His words _________ my memory of his son going to the same school as my daughter.

3. They are going to _________ the old furniture.

4. The gym is brilliant I'm going to _________ my membership for sure.
