“翻新”怎么說(shuō)
[ 2007-01-22 14:34 ]
北京地鐵公廁的衛(wèi)生問(wèn)題一直是市民們的一大心病。2007年，市政府將加大改造、翻新力度，準(zhǔn)備對(duì)公廁內(nèi)的潔具、燈具和通風(fēng)系統(tǒng)等設(shè)施進(jìn)行升級(jí)。據(jù)悉，地鐵公廁改造工程有望于今年年底完工。
請(qǐng)看中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)相關(guān)報(bào)道：The public toilets in the subway stations across Beijing would be receivingface-lifts.
Beijing has decided to spend 6 million yuan ($750,000) on renovating the toilets in its subway stations this year. Sixty-four public toilets at stations across the city's two main subway lines will be upgraded to meet the same standards as the bathrooms at quality hotels.
報(bào)道中的“face-lift”指的是“翻新”，有時(shí)也可寫做“face-lifting”。
“Face-lift”原意指“整容（除去面部皺紋的手術(shù)）”，后引申為（建筑物）的改建、裝修和翻新，也可用做動(dòng)詞。
看下面兩個(gè)例句：The school's face-lift astonished students.（學(xué)校外貌煥然一新，學(xué)生們大為驚訝。）
The automobile factory will face-lift most of its lines.（這家汽車廠多數(shù)產(chǎn)品的外型都要更新。）
