answer和reply的用法區別

1. answer是常用詞,可指口頭、筆頭,甚至行動回答,有時可與reply通用。

例句:

Who can answer the question?

Please answer the telephone.

2. reply較answer正式,既可指用語言、書面作答,也可指用動作或手勢作答,常用於正式場合或書面語中,指經過慎重考慮作出的答覆。

例句:

I sent in my application,and the school replied immediately.

I don't know what to reply.

注意:

在表示回答問題時,answer後直接跟question;reply後要加介詞to。

例句比較:

answer the question 回答問題;

reply to the question 回答問題。
