“Entire” means something has all its parts, but those parts can work independently. For example, “we don’t have the entire file yet.”
“Entire” refers to multiple entities grouped as one “whole.”
“Entire”指的是多个部分组合成“whole.”

Complete means something has all of its parts. There should be nothing missing when presenting something as “complete.”
