Repatriate has both a human and a financial sense. In immigration and military contexts, it means returning people to their country of origin — 'repatriated prisoners of war,' 'repatriate refugees,' and 'voluntary repatriation' are standard collocations. In finance and business, it refers to transferring profits, investments, or assets back to the parent company's home country. The noun 'repatriation' is equally common in both senses.

repatriate 有两个层面的含义——关于人和关于资金。在移民和军事语境中，它指将人送回原籍国——'repatriated prisoners of war（遣返战俘）''repatriate refugees（遣返难民）''voluntary repatriation（自愿遣返）'是常见搭配。在金融和商业领域，它指将利润、投资或资产转回母公司所在国。名词'repatriation（遣返、汇回）'在两种含义中都同样常见。

Repatriate posee un sentido humano y otro financiero. En los ámbitos migratorio y militar, significa devolver a las personas a su país de origen — 'repatriated prisoners of war' (prisioneros de guerra repatriados), 'repatriate refugees' (repatriar refugiados) y 'voluntary repatriation' (repatriación voluntaria) son colocaciones habituales. En finanzas y negocios, se refiere a la transferencia de beneficios, inversiones o activos al país de la empresa matriz. El sustantivo 'repatriation' es igualmente frecuente en ambos sentidos.

repatriate には人に関する意味と金融に関する意味がある。入国管理や軍事の文脈では、人を出身国に送り返すことを意味し、「repatriated prisoners of war（送還された捕虜）」「repatriate refugees（難民を送還する）」「voluntary repatriation（自主的帰還）」が標準的な共起表現である。金融・ビジネスでは、利益・投資・資産を親会社の本国に移転することを指す。名詞形「repatriation（送還・資金還流）」はいずれの意味でも同様に一般的である。

repatriate는 인적 의미와 재정적 의미 모두를 가진다. 이민 및 군사적 맥락에서는 사람을 본국으로 돌려보내는 것을 의미하며, 'repatriated prisoners of war(송환된 전쟁 포로)', 'repatriate refugees(난민을 송환하다)', 'voluntary repatriation(자발적 귀환)'이 일반적인 연어이다. 금융 및 비즈니스에서는 수익, 투자, 자산을 모회사의 본국으로 이전하는 것을 가리킨다. 명사 'repatriation(본국 송환, 자금 환류)'은 두 가지 의미 모두에서 동등하게 흔히 사용된다.
