喜樂美語
  1. 1v/trænsˈfɔːrm/ · /trænsˈfɔːm/徹底改變；改造

    to change the way something or someone looks, works, or feels so completely that it seems like a different thing — usually in a way that makes it better.

    transform 講的是「整個換了一個樣子」，不是小小的調整。可以想成 trans（從這邊到那邊）加上 form（形狀）——把一個東西的形狀、樣子整個換掉。跟 change 比：change 大小都可以（change your shirt 也算），transform 一定是大改變，而且多半是變得更好。常見句型是 transform A into B（把 A 變成 B）。

源自拉丁文 trans「穿越」加 forma「形狀」。

Wiktionary

Think of a before-and-after pair of photos where you can hardly believe it is the same thing: the same empty warehouse, now a bright . Transform is the verb for that gap — the change goes all the way through, not just on the surface, and usually it is a change for the better.

可以想成一組前後對照的照片，看的人幾乎不信那是同一個東西：同一間空倉庫，現在是間明亮的書店。transform 講的就是這中間那道落差——改變是整個穿透過去的，不只是換個外表，而且通常是往好的方向走。
