“又”和“再”有什么不同? What’s the Difference Between “又” and “再”?

Aijing Yang

下面两个句子都表示一件事情重复发生,但发生的时间不同:

Both sentences describe a repeated action, but the time of the action is different:

我今天又喝了咖啡。
I drank coffee again today.

我明天再喝咖啡。
I’ll drink coffee again tomorrow.

1. “又”:事情已经重复发生

“又”表示一个动作已经发生过,现在或过去再次发生。

“又” indicates that an action happened before and has already happened again.

我昨天喝了咖啡,今天又喝了。
I drank coffee yesterday, and I drank it again today.

昨天喝咖啡的事情已经发生了,今天喝咖啡的事情也已经发生了,所以用“又”。

Drinking coffee happened yesterday, and it has already happened again today, so we use “又”.

他上周迟到了,今天又迟到了。
He was late last week, and he was late again today.

两次迟到都已经发生了。

Both instances of being late have already happened.

2. “再”:事情将来再次发生

“再”表示一个动作以后还会发生,或者计划再次做某件事。

“再” indicates that an action will happen again in the future or that someone plans to do it again.

我今天喝了咖啡,明天再喝。
I drank coffee today, and I’ll drink it again tomorrow.

明天喝咖啡的事情还没有发生,所以用“再”。

Drinking coffee tomorrow has not happened yet, so we use “再”.

这个电影很好看,我下周想再看一次。
This movie is very good. I want to watch it again next week.

第二次看电影是将来的计划。

Watching the movie a second time is a future plan.

简单来说:

“又”告诉我们:这件事已经再次发生了。
“又” tells us that something has already happened again.

“再”告诉我们:这件事以后会再次发生。
“再” tells us that something will happen again in the future.

比较一下:

我今天又喝了咖啡。
I drank coffee again today.

我明天再喝咖啡。
I’ll drink coffee again tomorrow.

记忆方法:

“又”看过去,“再”看未来。
Use “又” for repetition in the past or present, and “再” for repetition in the future.
