Postpone often has negative associations, giving a sense of disappointment. It is often used with verbs like have to, be forced to and be obliged to. Reschedule has more a positive feel, and is often followed by for + a date or time. * postpone常带有负面联想，给人以失望的感觉，常与have to、be forced to和be obliged to等动词短语连用。reschedule给人的印象较正面，后常接for + 日期或时间◆The event has been rescheduled for 5 June / Sunday / the spring.这项活动已改期于6月5日／星期日／春季举行。
