Java。使用drjava编译器给我的错误比没有其他编译器给我的错误

      System.out.print ("Please enter a sentence to translate (Enter 'quit' to leave)");
      String input = objReader.readLine ();

      lowerInput = input.toLowerCase(); // any form of "quit" will make the loop exit

      Translate newSentence = new Translate(input);
      String output = newSentence.getOutput();

    while (freader.hasNext())

      String word = freader.next();
      wordLength = word.length(); // gets the length of each word

      if (wordLength >= 5)
      {
        lastLetter = word.charAt(wordLength - 1);
        secondLastLetter = word.charAt(wordLength - 2);

        if (secondLastLetter == 'o' && lastLetter == 'r') // last two letters must be "OR"
        {
          String word2 = word.substring(0, wordLength - 2); // extracts all letters but the "OR"
          newWord = word2.concat("our"); // adds "OUR" to the end of the word
        }
        else
        {
          newWord = word; // keeps the same word
        }
      }
      else
      {
        newWord = word;
      }

      newPhrase.append(newWord);
      newPhrase.append(' '); // add a space
      output = newPhrase.toString(); // convert back to a string
    }
  }

  String getOutput()
  {
    return output; // returns the whole output
  }
}

我在drJava上遇到错误，这是我的类应该使用的编译器，在该编译器中我没有收到任何其他Java编译器。在第17行，当我有一条语句lowerInput = input.toLowerCase（）;它给我一个错误，说我不能将值赋给lowerInput，因为它是不可变的，并且已经被赋值了。如果有人知道我该如何解决该错误，请响应，因为我需要找出答案。
