rehash

1. N-COUNT If you describe something as a rehash, you are criticizing it because it repeats old ideas, facts, or themes, though some things have been changed to make it appear new. 重複; 老調重彈[usu sing, N 'of' n] [表不滿]

The critic found the play "a feeble rehash of familiar Miller themes."

評論家們認爲這部劇“是大家熟悉的米勒式主題的拙劣繙版”。

2. V-T If you say that someone rehashes old ideas, facts, or accusations, you disapprove of the fact that they present them in a slightly different way so that they seem new or original. 衹作輕微改動; 換湯不換葯[表不滿]

They've taken some of the best parts out of the best things and rehashed them. 他們提取了精華中的精華，然後對其稍加改動。
