Jean: Restoration 修复。比如有当 restoration 在有“修复”的意思的时候,往往是形容来修复被损坏或年代久远的建筑物、美术品文物等等。比如,故宫博物院的修复,就可以用 restoration 这个词。
Catherine: Yes, and that’s a major restoration project. In this example, restoration means repairing, cleaning and putting things back to the way they were before. And the word recovery, in this context, means finding things that were lost or forgotten.
Jean: 是的,所以 restoration 的意思是修复,包括清洗、修补、复原这样的全过程,而 recovery 的意思相比较起来更有去寻找被遗失的东西的意思。Catherine, 是不是 recovery 在这里还有一点去“营救”的意思?
Catherine: ‘Rescue’ is a good way of putting it, yes. Do you know when the Titanic was found?
Jean: 你说的是泰坦尼克号的残骸?美丽悲壮的《泰坦尼克号》,是我最爱的电影,实在是浪漫爱情的极致…
Catherine: Yes Jean, it was, and although the Titanic sunk way back in 1912, the remains of the sunken ship were only found in 1985.
Jean: 所以当时泰坦尼克号的海底沉船残骸一被找到,肯定有很多船上的物品也被找到了。
Catherine: Exactly. Lots of items were recovered, including furniture and the passengers’ personal belongings.
