換個形式或場合,意思不變

translate, be equivalent to · verb · B2

to mean the same thing as something else, when you say it a different way.

等於;換算成

化為實際的結果

搬運的方向從「表達」走到「現實」:前面那件事發生了,於是後面這個結果跟著出現,等於把它兌現成看得到的東西。

translate, lead to a result · verb · B2

To lead to a real result, or to turn something into that result.

轉化成(結果)
