再度: Once Again in Formal Reporting in Chinese
再度
再度 means once again and presents an event as a renewed occurrence after an earlier instance. It is more formal and report-like than 再 or 又 and normally precedes an eventive verb. The earlier occurrence may be stated or understood, but the construction cannot describe a first occurrence or follow the completed verb.

再度 means once again and presents an event as a renewed occurrence after an earlier instance. It is more formal and report-like than 再 or 又 and normally precedes an eventive verb. The earlier occurrence may be stated or understood, but the construction cannot describe a first occurrence or follow the completed verb. Keep the model Subject + 再度 + Eventive Predicate visible while you compare each sentence.
这个班再度被评为优秀班集体。
The class was again rated an outstanding class group.
Choose the right context
Report that an institution receives a status again. Describe people meeting again after a long interval. Present a renewed event in formal news or narrative style.
两位好友三十年后再度相遇。
The two friends met again after thirty years.
Respect the boundary
Do not use 再度 when no earlier occurrence exists. Do not place it after the event verb. Do not attach an aspect particle to 再度.
两位好友相遇再度。
(The two friends met once again.)
Repair the pattern
再度 follows the event it modifies: 再度 is a preverbal repetition adverb and must come before 相遇. An aspect particle is attached to the repetition adverb: 再度 is an adverb and cannot take aspect 了; aspect marking belongs with an event predicate or clause.
两位好友再度相遇。
Use the repaired structure without changing the intended meaning.
