Common mistakes
He recounted about his travel experiences.He recounted his travel experiences.
表示“讲述”时，recount 是及物动词，直接接宾语，不需要介词 about。学习者受 talk about 或“讲述关于”的迁移，容易多写 about；删掉 about 后语义不变，且符合 recount + 宾语的搭配。
Please recount the ballots again.Please recount the ballots.
表示“重新计数”时，recount 的前缀 re- 已经含有“再次”的意思，与 again 语义重复。正确搭配是 recount something 或 count something again，但不能说 recount again；去掉 again 即正确。
