How it works
"再度" is a formal adverb used to indicate that an action or a state is occurring for a second time or once again. It is typically used in written Chinese or formal speeches to describe recurring events, particularly those of significant importance or impact.
Examples
该地区的局势再度陷入紧张。
Gāi dìqū de júshì zàidù xiànrù jǐnzhāng.
The situation in the region has once again fallen into tension.
十年之后，这两位老友再度重逢。
Shí nián zhī hòu, zhè liǎng wèi lǎoyǒu zàidù chóngféng.
After ten years, these two old friends met once again.
他以卓越的表现再度蝉联冠军。
Tā yǐ zhuóyuè de biǎoxiàn zàidù chánlián guànjūn.
With his outstanding performance, he once again successfully defended the championship.
Common mistakes
Do not confuse '再度' with '又' or '再' in casual daily conversation; '再度' is much more formal and usually refers to a specific instance of a repeated event rather than a simple habitual action.
Tip
Think of '再度' as 'once more' in a literary sense. It is frequently followed by two-character verbs like 出现 (appear), 崛起 (rise up), or 突破 (breakthrough).
