[verb] say something again or a number of times, typically for emphasis or clarity
[动词] 重复或多次说某事,通常是为了强调或明确


💡 深入解读

Reiterate 一词源自拉丁语reiterare(重复)的过去分词reiteratus,15世纪初进入英语后原用在医药或化学领域表示“一次又一次地重复”某个行为或过程。等到了16世纪中期后, reiterate 开始发展出现在的主要含义指“反复地说、重申”,常作正式用语使用,主要指为了强调或明确而重复或多次说某件之前已经说过的事,经常意味着态度坚决,但有时候也会产生令人厌烦的(wearying)效果,

比如:

The political pundit reiterated his opposition to the lifting of sanctions.该政治专家重申了自己反对解除制裁的立场。
