repeated vs repeat
"repeat" 是動詞原形,表示「重複」這個動作本身;"repeated" 是過去式或過去分詞,強調動作「已經被重複」或用作形容詞表示「重複的」。
repeated vs recur
"repeated" 強調人為或有意識地「再次做」某個動作;"recur" 則指事件或狀態「自行再次發生」,常帶有規律性或週期性。
repeated vs reiterate
"repeated" 泛指任何形式的「重複」;"reiterate" 特指為了強調或澄清而「再次陳述」觀點、聲明或要求,語氣更正式。
在口語中,'repeated' 常用來引述或總結對方剛說過的話,表示「你剛剛說的這個動作/情況發生了很多次」。 EN: So you've told him the same thing over and over, and he still doesn't listen? 翻譯: 所以你已經跟他重複講過很多次了,他還是不聽?

✓She repeated the answer.
「repeat」是及物動詞,後面直接接名詞或名詞片語作為受詞,不接「to + 動詞」的不定詞結構。
