解释Explanation

有的量词和名词可以说两次，表示“每一……”，比如“天天”就是“每天”，“个个”就是“每个”，“件件”就是“每件”。后面常常有“都”。

Say certain measure words (or time words) twice and they mean "every one, without exception": 天天 = 每天 "every day", 个个 = 每个 "every one", 件件 = 每件 "every piece", 人人 "everyone", 年年 "every year". The doubled word usually comes before the verb and is followed by 都. It sounds a little livelier than 每…… . Note: it can't be followed by a noun — say 个个都很大, not 个个苹果.
