act of paying back expenses
The act of giving money back to someone to cover costs they already paid, usually for work or insurance reasons.
用法模式：
reimbursement for [expenses]
常见错误：
Learners often confuse "reimbursement" with "refund." A refund is usually money returned by the seller when you return a product or are overcharged. Reimbursement is money paid back to you for costs you already paid, often by an employer, school, or insurance company. Learners also sometimes say *"make a reimbursement"* instead of the more natural *"request reimbursement"* or *"receive reimbursement"*.

常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"I got a reimbursement for free"* when they mean they did not have to pay in the end. It is clearer to say *"I got a full reimbursement"* or *"I was fully reimbursed."* Another mistake is using the verb form incorrectly, such as *"I reimbursement him"* instead of *"I reimbursed him"* or *"I gave him a reimbursement."*
