refurbish
含义: To renovate, redecorate, or restore something — typically a building, room, or piece of equipment — to a good condition. More formal than 'do up' and implies a thorough overhaul.
Refurbish suggests a comprehensive restoration that goes beyond simple repair. In British English, it is the standard term in property, retail, and institutional contexts for bringing premises up to modern standards. A refurbished flat, a refurbished laptop, a refurbished ward — in each case the implication is that the item has been stripped back and rebuilt to a near-new condition. The word collocates with 'completely,' 'recently,' 'extensively,' and 'fully,' and the past participle 'refurbished' functions as a common adjective.
