A re-enactment is the performance itself: people acting out a past story, battle, or crime so that others can watch. Museums put on battle re-enactments; true-crime shows use a re-enactment when there is no film of the night.

A re-enactment再現重演 is the performance itself指的是那個演出本身：people acting out a past story, battle, or crime人們把過去的故事、戰役或案件演出來 so that others can watch讓別人可以看。Museums博物館 put on battle re-enactments會辦戰役重演；true-crime shows真實犯罪節目 use a re-enactment會用重演的手法 when there is no film of the night當那個晚上沒有影片時。

It is countable: one re-enactment, several re-enactments. In Britain and the US, historical re-enactment is also a hobby — people sew old clothes and spend a weekend pretending to live in another century.

It is countable這個字是可數名詞：one re-enactment一場重演, several re-enactments好幾場重演。In Britain and the US在英美兩地，historical re-enactment歷史重演 is also a hobby也是一種嗜好——people sew old clothes人們會縫製舊時代的衣服 and spend a weekend pretending to live in another century花一個週末假裝活在另一個世紀。

Though actually, a crime re-enactment on the news is not a hobby; it is a tool, and it can be rough to watch. The word names the show or the reconstruction, not the original event. The original already happened; the re-enactment is the copy.

Though actually不過事實上，a crime re-enactment on the news新聞上的犯罪重演 is not a hobby不是一種嗜好；it is a tool它是一種工具，and it can be rough to watch而且看起來可能會不舒服。The word這個字 names the show or the reconstruction指的是那個演出或重建的過程，not the original event不是指原本發生的事件。The original原本的事件 already happened已經發生過了；the re-enactment重演 is the copy是後來的重製。
