Though actually, the tidy idea “fill again” is a bit too tidy. You do not usually replenish a glass you just drank at the table — that is simply filling it. Replenish likes stores of things that run down over time: food, water, supplies, money in a fund. The feeling is restore, not just pour.
Though actually不過其實the tidy idea “fill again”「再裝滿」這個工整的說法is a bit too tidy其實有點太工整了。You你do not usually replenish a glass you just drank at the table通常不會說在餐桌上把剛喝完的杯子replenish — that is simply filling it那只是單純把它裝滿而已。Replenish replenish這個字likes stores of things that run down over time比較適合用在會隨時間耗損的儲備上: food, water, supplies, money in a fund像食物、水、補給品、基金裡的錢。The feeling這種感覺is restore, not just pour是「恢復」,而不只是「倒進去」。
