review

To review means to look back over something for evaluation or memory. "The year in review" is a popular form of news feature near the end of December.

Review的意思就是回顾以评判或者记忆。“The year in review(回顾一年)”是临近12月底的一种流行的新闻特写形式。

If your boss wants to give you a review, she wants to look over the history of your job performance. A doctor might review your medical record to help diagnose your sickness. The review of a book or movie often evaluates the work in question based on its strong and weak points, sometimes ending with a recommendation (or a dismissal). Before a big test, you might want to review ("brush up on") your notes.

如果你的老板想要给你一个review，那就是说她想回顾你的工作表现。医生可能会review你的药物史来帮助诊断你的病情。一本书或者一部电影的review通常就是指根据作品的强项和弱点进行的评价，有时以推荐(或不推荐)结束。在大考之前，你可能想review(复习)一下笔记。
