常见误用提醒

使用 reciprocity:We need more reciprocity in our team, so everyone should work hard. → We need more cooperation in our team, so everyone should work hard. (错误:将“reciprocity”误用作“cooperation”(合作)。Reciprocity 强调双向互惠,而 cooperation 更泛指协作。应改为“cooperation”以表达团队共同努力。)

使用 reciprocity:The reciprocity of the contract is very important for both sides. → The reciprocity in the contract is very important for both sides. (错误:介词使用不当。Reciprocity 通常与“in”连用表示在某个方面,而不是“of”。应改为“reciprocity in the contract”以正确表达合同中的互惠性。)

使用 mutuality:There is a mutuality with our team. → There is mutuality between our team and theirs. (错误在于使用了介词 with,mutuality 通常描述两者或多方之间的关系,应用 between 或 among 来连接具体对象。)
