Usually uncountable when referring to the general process or activity. Countable when referring to a specific rebuilding project (e.g., 'three reconstructions of the bridge'). Often used with a following 'of' phrase naming what is being rebuilt.

常見錯誤

The reconstruction of the building took place after it was reconstructed.
The reconstruction of the building took three years.
'reconstruction' already contains the idea of building again; avoid pairing it with 'reconstruct' in the same sentence.

文法句型

reconstruction of + [accident/crime/event/scene]
