    ingeminate 对比 iterate
    分析 词典对比 组词对比
  • Repeat】 ,  【iterate】 ,  【reiterate】 ,  【ingeminate】  can all mean to say again.

    Repeat】 , the word in ordinary use, may apply to what is said or uttered or done again, whether once or many or an indefinite number of times.

    Repeat】 sometimes implies a change in the speaker or doer.

    Iterate】 usually implies one repetition after another, especially of something that is said. There is very little difference between  【iterate】  and reiterate】 , except that  【iterate】  occasionally refers to a second saying or uttering or sometimes doing and  【reiterate】 carries an even more emphatic implication of manifold repetitions; consequently the two words are often used together when insistency is implied.

    When only one term is desired to make this point,  【reiterate】 is especially appropriate.

    Ingeminate】 , a somewhat uncommon term, implies reiteration for special emphasis or impressiveness. It therefore seldom implies indefinite repetition but rather duplication or triplication for the sake of the effect produced.
