Verb repetition: \u5c1d\u4e00\u5c1d<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Verb denoting action can be repeated. This device is usually employed when one wishes to indicate that the action is of a very short duration, to soften the tone or to make it sound relaxed or informal.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
