reload (intransitive)

用法筆記

Commonly used with web pages, apps, and digital files. The synonym 'refresh' is more frequent for web pages in everyday speech, whereas 'reload' feels slightly more technical or game-oriented. The subject can be either the user or the system ('the page reloaded automatically').

常見錯誤

✅I reloaded the program / page.
💡'Reload' takes the software or data as the object, not the physical machine. For the whole machine, use 'restart' or 'reboot.'
❌I reloaded the webpage again.
✅I reloaded the webpage.
💡'Reload' already implies doing something again; 'again' is redundant.
