英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To explain again or in a different way.
    — The story of simple Bernadette and the Lady of Lourdes, for an example of the readily transmutable quality of visionary rumors, has been re-explained as a UFO visitation. It has thus been recycled and hermeneutically reinterpreted to accommodate the unconscious content and symbolic needs of the more modern age.
