modernise
意味: To adapt something to modern needs, standards, or technology, updating outdated systems, methods, or infrastructure to reflect current requirements.
Modernise is a staple of political and business language, appearing whenever reform is being proposed. It is generally positive but can carry an implication that the subject is backward or outdated: 'we need to modernise the party' suggests it is stuck in the past. Tony Blair's New Labour project made extensive use of 'modernise' and 'modernisation.' Common collocations include 'modernise infrastructure,' 'modernise the economy,' and 'modernise the armed forces.'
