常见错误

❌ 错误:I will reverse back the money to you.
✓ 正确:I will return the money to you.

reverse 本身已包含“返回”或“倒退”的意思,加上 back 是冗余的。应直接用 return 或 reverse the payment。

❌ 错误:The situation is reverse.
✓ 正确:The situation is the reverse.

作为名词时,reverse 通常需要冠词(如 the)或限定词,以指代具体相反的事物。直接说 is reverse 不完整,应改为 is the reverse 或 is reversed(如果是形容词形式)。
