Learners sometimes use "restructure" for physical building changes, where "rebuild", "renovate", or "remodel" are more natural (e.g., say "They rebuilt the bridge," not "They restructured the bridge"). "Restructure" is mainly used for organizations, systems, plans, or processes.

Change terms of debt or loans
to change how debts or loans will be paid back, often to make payments easier
用法模式：
to restructure [debt/loans/finances]
常见错误：
Learners may use this sense with the wrong object, saying "restructure the company" when they specifically mean changing debts; in finance, the object is usually "debt", "loans", or "finances". Also, it is sometimes confused with "write off" (cancel a debt entirely), which is stronger than simply restructuring it.
近义词
refinance (Often narrower; usually means replacing old debt with new debt, while "restructure" can involve broader changes to payment terms and conditions.)
反义词
default (Instead of changing terms to keep paying, "default" means failing to pay a debt as agreed.)
搭配
restructure its debt
|restructure outstanding loans
|restructure the balance sheet
|restructure sovereign debt
|restructure bank loans

用法模式：
a restructure of [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say "a restructuring" where some workplaces or regions more commonly say "a restructure" (both can be correct, but usage varies). Also, avoid using the article incorrectly: say "a restructure" or "the restructure", not "restructure" alone when it acts as a countable noun.
近义词
