fix多用于美语,仅用于指带有安装固定性质的修理。
mend通常指较简单的修复过程,一般不需要专门技术或特殊工具。
repair可与mend换用,但一般指需要较高的职业技能和使用较复杂的工具进行修理。
patch通常指用类似材料修补破洞、裂缝或磨损的地方。

约于1200年,指“修理”(衣服、工具、建筑物),“去除缺陷”(从破损、污损、失调或磨损的物品中),源自于古法语 amender 的缩写形式,意为“纠正、使正确、使更好、改进”(参见 amend)。指“纠正、弥补(过失和错误)、改过(自己的生活)、悔改”的意思始于约1300年。不及物动词的意思是“变得更好、改善”,始于14世纪晚期。相关词汇: Mended; mending。
