常见误用提醒

使用 reoccurring:The problem is reoccurring again. → The problem is reoccurring. (reoccurring 本身已包含“再次”的意思,加上 again 会造成语义重复,应去掉 again。)

使用 reoccurring:I have a reoccurring of the same dream. → I have a reoccurring dream. (reoccurring 是形容词或现在分词,不应直接用作名词;正确用法是修饰名词,如 reoccurring dream。)

使用 repeating:He is repeating the same thing again. → He is repeating the same thing. (错误:'again' 与 'repeating' 语义重复,因为 'repeating' 已包含“再次”的意思。正确:去掉 'again',使句子更简洁自然。)
