- 1總結、摘要報導(節目或會議最後的重點回顧)
A short report that goes over the main points of something again, at the end. On the news, the wrap-up is the last minute or two where the presenter runs quickly through the day's big stories; in sport, it is the summary after the match. The word is also used for the summary at the end of a meeting, a conference, a school term or a project — "let's do a quick wrap-up" means let's say the main points once more and finish. It is fairly informal but perfectly normal at work, and it is more common in American English. The idea comes from the verb wrap up: you wrap paper round a parcel to close it, so wrapping something up means finishing it and closing it . That verb has two uses worth knowing — "wrap up the meeting" (finish it) and "wrap up warm" (put on warm clothes). Note the : the noun is a wrap-up (some writers now spell it wrapup), while the verb stays two words, to wrap up.
wrap-up 指放在最後、把重點快速回顧一遍的總結或簡短報導。新聞裡,它是主播在最後一、兩分鐘快速帶過當天的大新聞;運動新聞裡,它是比賽後的總結;在會議、研討會、學期或專案結束時,也會用 wrap-up 來回顧重點,例如「let's do a quick wrap-up」,意思是再說一次重點、然後結束。它口語,但在工作場合很正常,美式英文用得比較多。它的來源是 wrap up,就像把紙包在包裹上把它收好,所以有做完、收尾的感覺。動詞有兩個常見用法:「wrap up the meeting」是把會議結束,「wrap up warm」是穿暖一點。名詞寫成 wrap-up,有人寫成 wrapup;動詞則維持兩個字,to wrap up。
