reply、respond和answer都有“回答”得意思,他們主要得區別是:answer比較普通,reply和respond比較正式。具體如下:
?1、reply 回答,答復
比較正式得回答用reply,有答復得意思,一般用reply to。
She didn't reply to his message.
她沒有回復他得留言。
2、respond (口頭或書面)回答,回應
英文解釋:to give a spoken or written answer to sb/sth。有回應得意思,不僅僅是回答,這是它跟answer得區別。
I asked him his name, but he didn't respond.
我問他叫什嗎名字,可他沒回答。
respond to my letter 回信
也專業表示:作出反應;響應
respond to the news 對消息作出反應
還能表示:作出正確反應
respond to a challenge 應付挑戰
3、answer 回答
就是普通得回答了,ask and answer這種。
He cannot answer your question.
他沒法回答你得問題。
以上就是reply、respond和answer得區別了。
