熔掉重倒（最看得見的那一層）
這一支就是核心畫面本身，摸得到、看得見。
verb · C1
To melt metal down and pour it into a mould a second time, so that the same material comes out in a new shape.
重鑄
核心畫面
One way to hold this word: the same material, poured into a new mould. A cracked bell goes back into the fire; the metal is still perfectly good, so it is poured again and comes out as a new bell. Nothing is added, nothing is thrown away, and yet the shape is different. That is what happens when a report is recast in plainer words, when a is recast, and when a show recasts a part — the material stays, the shape changes.

可以想成「同一批材料，倒進新的模子」。一口裂了的鐘被送回爐子，金屬本身沒壞，於是熔掉再倒一次，出來是一口新的鐘。沒有加東西，也沒有丟東西，可是形狀不一樣了。報告改寫成白話、時刻表整個重排、一齣戲換角，都可以放進這個畫面：內容還是那些，排法換了。From the word’s history
re- plus cast; cast came into English from Old Norse kasta, meaning to throw, and is also the word used for pouring melted metal into a mould.
recast 是 re-（再一次）加上 cast。cast 經由古諾爾斯語 kasta 進入英文，本義是「丟」，後來也用在「把熔化的金屬倒進模子」。這條線索正好解釋了這個字兩頭的用法：一頭是再丟一次，一頭是再倒一次模。
