參考詞彙
answer reply respond
均含有「回答」的意思。
(1)answer 是常用詞, 可指「口頭」、「筆頭」, 甚至「行動」回答, 如:
He answered my question.
他回答了我的問題。
(2)reply 較answre正式, 如:
I sent in my application, and the university replied immediately.
我把申請書交上去了, 大學方面立即給了答覆。
(3)respond 系正式用語, 指「對號召[職責、請求等]作出自發性的適當反應」, 如:
They eagerly responded to the Party's call to work in the border regions.
他們熱情地響應黨的號召, 到邊疆去工作。
ask inquire question
用法詞典
answer
來自古英語adswerian，本意是to swear against起誓證實[某事]以反對[某人]，現在無論是回答「問題」還是「查詢」都可以用answer)
參考詞彙
(1)answer,respond,reply這組詞都有「回答」的含義。
(2)answer(名詞亦為answer)在這三個詞中使用範圍也最廣。它可以用於「回答」別人提出的問題，這是用語言回答。電話鈴響了，你去answer the telephone(接電話)這種「回答」即包含語言又包含行動。門鈴響了，你去開門(answer the door bell)卻只用行動。
In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises.
在回答這些問題的過程中，我要麼就點頭，要麼就發出奇怪的叫聲。
(3)respond(名詞為response)用於表示自發的反應，或不反對作出反應。
I struck him a crack and he responded with a kick.
我啪的打了他一下，他踢回了一腳。
(4)reply(名詞亦為reply)和answer雖然常常可以互相使用，但有時並不能通用。如：reply雖然也可以用來表示「以行動回答」，但與answer明顯不同：
The officer answered the guard's saltue by a nod.
那位軍官點一點頭以回答衛兵的敬禮。
The officer replied the guard's salute.
那位軍官對衛兵的敬禮回了禮。
(5)因為reply一詞從詞源學角度上講，其含義是fold back使返回羊欄。sheep有教區居民的意思。因此foldback(即reply)也有使返回老家或原處的意思。此外，answer a letter所表示的「回信」，可以只是表示「收到了某人某月某日的來信」，但對來信提出的問題並不一定作了答覆，而reply a letter則可以表示回答了來信提出的一切細節。
They would be able to reply to our signals using similar methods.
他們會有能力使用類似的方法來回答我們的信號。
