    To resurrect something, in the sense you will meet in news and everyday talk, is to bring back an old activity, belief, or idea that has not been around for a long time — an old rule, an old band, an old way of teaching. Though actually, the word still carries an older, stronger meaning: to bring a dead person back to life.

    in the sense you will meet in news and everyday talk在新聞和日常對話裡會遇到的意思裡,To resurrect something resurrect某個東西 is to bring back指的是重新帶回 that has not been around for a long time很久沒出現的 an old activity, belief, or idea舊活動、信念或想法,an old rule, an old band, an old way of teaching比如舊規定、舊樂團、舊的教法。Though actually不過其實,the word still carries這個字還帶著 an older, stronger meaning更古老、更強烈的意思:to bring a dead person back to life讓死去的人復活。

    That is why it can sound dramatic when you use it for a fashion or a TV show. People use that drama on purpose: if they resurrected the old dress code, they did not just restart it; they pulled it out of the past. It is a little colourful for a calm meeting, but writers and critics use it often.

    That is why這就是為什麼 it can sound dramatic聽起來會有戲劇性 when you use it for a fashion or a TV show當你用它來講流行或電視節目的時候。People use that drama on purpose人們是故意用這種戲劇效果的:if they resurrected the old dress code如果他們resurrected了舊的服裝規定,they did not just restart it他們不只是重新開始,they pulled it out of the past而是把它從過去拉出來。It is a little colourful for a calm meeting用在一場平靜的會議上是有點誇張,but writers and critics use it often但作家和評論家常常使用它。

    You resurrect a thing (the object comes after the verb).

    You resurrect你resurrect a thing一個東西 (the object comes after the verb)(受詞放在動詞後面)。

    If the thing never really died, “bring back” or “use again” is fairer and quieter.

    If the thing never really died如果那個東西其實沒有真的死掉, "bring back" or "use again"用「bring back」或「use again」 is fairer and quieter會更公平、更平和。
