repair
★★★
🇺🇸 /ɹɪpˈɛɹ/
🇬🇧 /ɹɪˈpɛə/
repair 主要表示“修理、修复”,也可指修理的结果、物品的状况,以及较少见的“前往某处”或“重新配对”。
💡 记忆钩子
把 repair 想成“让东西重新回到正常状态”:坏掉的物品被修好,损失得到补偿,修理后的痕迹或状态也叫 repair。较古老的用法把它延伸为“回到某个地方”,而现代技术语境中又可按 re- + pair 理解为“重新配对”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“修理、修复”这一核心义,再学习名词短语 in good repair、beyond repair;不要一开始把较古老的“前往”义当作日常用法。
- repair 不只表示动手修东西,也能表示修复损害或弥补损失;但“补偿”这一抽象用法通常比具体修理更正式。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 修理行为📖 repair 可以指把损坏的东西修好的整个过程,而不是某个具体零件或工具。💡 常用句型是 repair of + 物品,或 put/take something in for repair。repair 表示一般的修理活动时通常不可数;说一次具体的修理工作时用 a repair。不要把它误当成只指汽车修理,它也可用于房屋、道路、设备等。countable uncountableThe old bridge is closed for repair.这座旧桥因维修而关闭。I took my laptop in for repair yesterday.我昨天把笔记本电脑送去维修了。
-
common 修理后的结果或痕迹📖 repair 也可以指修理完成后留下的部分、痕迹或成果,也就是“修补处”。💡 常用 a repair in/on + 表面或物品,表示某一处具体的修补。这个用法通常是可数的,因此谈到一个明确的修补处时要用 a repair 或 repairs。它不等同于 repair shop,后者指修理店。countable uncountableThere is a small repair on the jacket sleeve.这件夹克的袖子上有一处小修补。
-
common 完好程度📖 在表示状态时,repair 关注的是某物是否保养良好、是否需要修理,而不是一次具体的维修工作。💡 最常见的句型是 be in good/poor/excellent repair;表示损坏严重到无法修复时用 beyond repair。这个义项常用于房屋、车辆、建筑等,语气比日常的“状态不错”稍正式。不要把 in repair 机械地理解成“正在修理”,具体进行中的维修通常说 under repair。countable uncountableThe house is still in good repair despite its age.这所房子虽然年代久远,但保养得仍然很好。

rare 前往某处📖 古旧用法中,repair 可以表示像“回到一个地方”一样前往某处,与现代核心的“恢复到原处”有历史上的联系。💡 通常采用 repair to + 地点的结构,带有古雅或文学色彩。现代英语中应优先使用 go to、head to 或 return to。不要把这个义项用于普通的旅行或日常移动。
-
rare 常去之处📖 古旧或文学语境中,repair 还可指一个人经常前往的地方,即“常去处”。💡 常见于文学性表达中,通常需要由上下文说明这是某人的惯常去处。现代英语里应使用 usual place、haunt 或 favorite spot 等更自然的说法。不要把普通的 repair shop 理解成这个古义。

core 修理;修复📖 repair 作动词时,就是把坏掉或受损的东西恢复到可以正常使用或较好状态。💡 最常见句型是 repair + 物品,或 repair the damage;也可说 have/get something repaired,表示请别人修理某物。repair 比 fix 稍正式,但两者在许多日常场景中都能使用。不要把 repair 当作不及物动词直接使用,通常要说明修理什么。The mechanic repaired the brakes before the trip.修理工在出发前修好了刹车。We need to repair the roof before winter.我们需要在冬天前修好屋顶。
-
common 弥补损失或伤害📖 repair 也能把抽象的损害当作需要恢复的东西,表示通过补偿或补救来弥补损失、伤害或关系破裂。💡 常见结构是 repair the damage/loss 或 repair a wrong,通常出现在正式、法律或书面语境中。谈人际关系时,日常英语更常用 mend、restore 或 make amends。不要把这个义项简单等同于赔钱,具体补救方式要看上下文。The payment helped repair some of the damage caused by the mistake.这笔款项帮助弥补了那次错误造成的一部分损失。

rare 前往📖 这个古义把前往某处看成回到一个可供依靠的地方,与 repair 的历史“回返”含义有关。💡 固定模式是 repair to + 地点,常见于历史叙述或文学作品。现代英语中这种说法会显得不自然或过时。学习阅读时认出它即可,不建议主动用于日常交流。

rare 重新配对📖 在电子设备语境中,repair 是把原本失去连接的一对设备再次配成一对,和“修理损坏物品”的核心义不同,但都含有“恢复原来关系”的感觉。💡 常用 repair A with B 或 repair two devices to each other,宾语通常是耳机、设备等成对物件。由于这个词容易和通常的“修理”混淆,技术说明中也常直接使用 pair again 或 re-pair。它不是普通英语中的高频用法。
