In philosophy and in the criticism of literature, to deconstruct a piece of writing is to read it in a special way: you look for the cracks, the things the text takes for granted, and you show that it does not settle on one clean meaning. The claim is that there is no single explanation sitting inside the work waiting to be found; meaning keeps slipping, and the writing can work against itself. This school of reading is tied to thinkers such as Derrida.

In philosophy and in the criticism of literature在哲學和文學批評裡 to deconstruct a piece of writing「解構」一篇文章 is to read it in a special way是用一種特別的方式去讀它 you look for the cracks你會找出裡面的裂縫 the things the text takes for granted也就是文本理所當然的那些假設 and you show that it does not settle on one clean meaning然後指出它並沒有一個乾淨固定的意思 The claim is這種讀法主張 that there is no single explanation sitting inside the work waiting to be found作品裡並沒有一個等著被找到的單一解釋 meaning keeps slipping意義會一直流動、抓不住 and the writing can work against itself而文字甚至可能自相矛盾 This school of reading這種讀法的流派 is tied to thinkers such as Derrida跟像Derrida(德希達)這樣的思想家有關

Though actually, outside universities people use deconstruct much more loosely. 'Let's deconstruct this song' often just means 'let's take it apart and talk about the pieces.' That everyday use is milder. It does not carry the whole philosophical claim.

Though actually不過實際上 outside universities在大學之外 people use deconstruct much more loosely大家用deconstruct這個字寬鬆得多 'Let's deconstruct this song'「Let's deconstruct this song」 often just means常常只是指 'let's take it apart and talk about the pieces.'「把它拆開來，一部分一部分討論」 That everyday use is milder這種日常用法比較溫和 It does not carry它並不帶有 the whole philosophical claim整套哲學上的主張

The sense here is the method, not knocking a building down, and not merely 'explain.'

The sense here is the method這裡指的是這套方法 not knocking a building down不是把建築物拆掉 and not merely 'explain.'也不只是「解釋」
