alterとchange。どちらも「変える」という意味だが、変える度合いが違う。

以下のページに詳しい。

抜粋させていただくと

changeは全面的・根本的な変更をいい,alterは部分的な変更をいう。したがってchange plansは「計画を全面変更する」,alter one’s plans は「計画を一部手直しする」の意になる。

記憶の宮殿構築のために、以下のような例文を考えてみた。

「Walter, Alter the alter into the Walter」 (「ウォルター(人の名前)、alterをWalterに変えなさい」).

alterを部分変更してWalterにしている。
