简洁口语化英文短语动词，用于和朋友、同事、客户安排当面碰面、相聚、约会等场景。
English: This Chinglish is a redundant expression caused by literal translation of the Chinese '互相见面' (hùxiāng jiànmiàn). According to the Oxford Dictionary of English Phrasal Verbs, the verb 'meet' in English inherently contains the reciprocal meaning of 'meeting with each other'. Adding 'with each other' is completely unnecessary and grammatically redundant. Native English speakers use the concise phrasal verb 'meet up' to express this concept in casual contexts (Oxford University Press, 2023).
Chinese: 该中式英语是中文“互相见面”直译导致的冗余表达。根据《牛津英语短语动词词典》，英语中动词“meet”本身就包含“互相见面”的交互含义，添加“with each other”完全不必要且在语法上冗余。英语母语者在非正式场合使用简洁的短语动词“meet up”表达此概念(牛津大学出版社, 2023)。
