常见错误
“reciprocate”本身已含“回报”之意，加“back”造成冗余；应直接使用动词，避免重复。
“reciprocate”作及物动词时，后接宾语无需介词“to”；正确用法是直接跟名词或代词。
近义词辨析
return
“return”更通用，指归还或返回，不一定强调互惠；而“reciprocate”特指以类似方式回报，强调相互性。
She returned the book to the library. (归还物品) vs. She reciprocated his kindness with a gift. (互惠行为)
exchange
“exchange”指双方互换物品或信息，常为同时进行；而“reciprocate”侧重回报先前的行为，可能有时间差。
They exchanged gifts at Christmas. (同时互换) vs. He reciprocated her invitation after a week. (事后回报)
