  • 重点发展 (key development): used in business or policy contexts.

Usage Notes

"重点" is a noun and can be used as the subject or object in a sentence. It is not a verb, so it does not mean "to recount" or "to repeat." Avoid confusing it with verbs like "重复" (to repeat).

Sometimes learners confuse "重点" with "" (to reiterate) or "重复" (to repeat). Remember, "重点" always refers to the important point or focus, not the action of repeating.
