interpret

It's when you take something and make your own meaning out of it.

The dress code says "We want to promote modesty."
I interpret that as "We want to ruin your life."

summarize

The dictionary says "To state or express in a concise word."
I say to say something by using as little brain work as possible.

Long version:
"And like a flower in the moonlight, she glided gracefully down the aisle."
Summarized version:
"Why can't you just said she walked down the aisle?"
