resume
他動詞自動詞
This word conveys a sense of continuity and restoration. It implies that the activity was not permanently ended, but merely suspended, and that the state of progress is being picked up exactly where it left off. It suggests a return to a previous trajectory or routine. In professional or formal settings, it carries a neutral to positive tone of efficiency and order. It differs from restart, which may imply beginning from the very beginning, whereas resume emphasizes the preservation of existing momentum.
