The ordinary form (rein-) has been so far divorced from the simple verb (formerly inforce or enforce, now always the latter) that it seldom or never means to enforce again, as when a lapsed regulation  is revived. For that sense re-enforce should be used. [Fowler]
普通形式(rein-)与简单动词(以前为 inforceenforce,现在总是后者)已经分离得如此之远,以至于它很少或从不意味着再次执行,例如当一个过时的规定被恢复时。对于这个意义,应该使用 re-enforce。[福勒]
