词组 | reply |
释义 | ,answer 两词都可译成“回答”。 1. 表示“回答 ( 某人的) 问题、信件”等,若用 reply,后面需要跟介词 to, answer 可直接引出宾语: He still hasn't replied to my email. ( 不说 He still hasn't replied my email. ) He still hasn't answered my email. 2. reply to 与 answer 的含义所指“回答”的侧重而不同。reply to 常指“对…… 作出 ( 针对性的) 回答”,而 answer 所指的“回答”可以不必是针对性的,试比较: They replied to the enemy's fire by firing back She answered his salute by smil- ing. 3. 常说 answer the door / phone 等; 一般不说 reply to the door / phone 等。 |
