    To revamp something is to change it so that it works better and looks more modern. You might revamp a shop, a website, a menu, or a plan.

    To revamp something revamp某個東西 is to change it so that it works better and looks more modern意思是改變它,讓它變得更好用、看起來更新。You might revamp你可能會revamp a shop商店、a website網站、a menu菜單、or a plan或計畫。

    It is not a tiny fix; it is a fresh look, though you usually keep the same basic thing rather than throwing it away and starting from nothing.

    It is not a tiny fix這不是小修小補;it is a fresh look而是煥然一新的樣貌,though you usually keep the same basic thing不過通常還是保留基本的東西,rather than throwing it away and starting from nothing而不是整個丟掉重來。

    You can also use it as a noun: “The website needs a revamp.” It is at home in business talk and magazines — not stiff, not street slang.

    You can also use it as a noun也可以當名詞用:「The website needs a revamp.」網站需要revamp(改版)。It is at home in business talk and magazines這個字在商業用語和雜誌裡很常見——not stiff不會太生硬,not street slang也不是street slang(街頭俚語)。

    The part is an old word meaning to patch or repair, like the front of a shoe. Though actually, that has nothing to do with vampires; they only share a spelling, and that mix-up makes students smile.

    The vamp part vamp這個部分 is an old word meaning to patch or repair是個古字,意思是修補,like mending the front of a shoe就像修補鞋子的前面。Though actually不過其實,that vamp has nothing to do with vampires這個vamp跟vampires(吸血鬼)一點關係也沒有;they only share a spelling他們只是拼字剛好有點像,and that mix-up makes students smile學生常常會因此搞混而覺得好笑。
