answer的英语单词
双解释义
vt. & vi.1.回答,答复; 解答; 答辩speak or write words in return to a question
vt.2. 回信,应答,响应act in return to a letter,bell,call,signal,etc.
vt. & vi.3. 符合,适应,满足be suitable or satisfactory
vi.4. 成功,奏效succeed; be effective
基本要点
⒈answer用作动词的基本意思是“回答,答复”,可以用言语回答,也可以用文字回答,还可以用行动回答,视宾语的不同可灵活翻译。
⒉answer用作及物动词时,可接人、物或that从句作宾语,也可接双宾语(两个宾语都是直接宾语),作“符合,满足”解时宾语主要是need,hope,purpose等抽象名词。
⒊answer用作不及物动词时主要表示“回答,负责,保证,成功,奏效,适应,符合”。
⒋answer表示用语言、文字或行动对问题进行回答,是一最常用词; 用于转义表示“符合,适应”等义时,是较正式的用法; answer to the name则是口语用法。
⒌answer for表示“受责备”时可用于被动结构,表示“许诺,答应别人”时也常用于被动结构,表示其他意思时均常用于一般时态。作“对…负有责任”解时,通常不用于进行体。

辨析
answer for,answer to
⒈这两个短语都可表示“符合…需要”,其区别是:接needs,wishes,hopes,description等词时用answer to; 而接purpose时则只能用answer for。
⒉这两个短语都可表示“负责”,其区别是:answer for表示对事负责; 而answer to则表示对人负责。试比较:
I will answer for him.
他的事情由我负责。
I will answer to him.
我将对他负责。
answer sth,answer to sth
及物动词和“不及物动词+to”,这里有个语言史的问题,即有些动词过去带to而现在不带,而有些动词过去不带to而现在带,如listen; 还有些动词两者都能用,如approach。不过不带to的情况更普遍。answer的情况是用于“回答,答复”等直义时一般用作及物动词,即不带to。例如:
Answer my question,please.请回答我的问题。
用于“符合,适合”等转义时,两种用法均可,不过不带to时直接性较强。例如:
This dictionary answers (to) my needs.这本词典符合我的需要。
to answer,be an answer to
英语中系动词与动作动词相比,其语气往往显得较弱,所以下面两个句子,第一个显然更常用。
她脸上的表情就足以回答我的问题了。
Her facial expression alone answered my question.
Her facial expression alone was an answer to my question.
answer,reply,respond
这三个词意思相近,常可通用。例如:
I don't know what to answer〔reply,respond〕.我不知道该怎么回答。
它们之间的区别是:
⒈词源不同,answer来自古英语; reply来自古法语; respond来自拉丁语。
⒉answer和reply可指口头、书面或行动上的回答,而respond则偏重于用行动回答或响应。
⒊answer既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词,还可用作名词; 而reply通常只用作不及物动词,但其后可接直接引语或that引导的宾语从句,用作及物动词时,宾语只能是所说的话; respond既可用作及物动词也可用作不及物动词,其名词形式是response。
⒋answer接letter,question等词时用作及物动词,即不加to,而reply和respond只能用作不及物动词,即必须加to。
⒌answer可接双直宾语,而reply和respond则不能。
⒍answer后可接人或物; reply的对象一般不能是人,而只能是物。
⒎answer多指对问题的回答; reply一般用于对某一陈述或主张的回答,特别是对相反意见、议论等的答复; 而respond通常指对号召、职责等作出响应或反应。
⒏answer后接a letter时只指复信表示收到来信; 而reply to a letter则指要答复来信中所提出的全部问题或提请注意的各点。
⒐作“给出答案”解时只能用answer,不能用reply和respond。
⒑表示“作出相应反应”,可用answer和respond,不能用reply。
⒒answer最普通,最常用; 而reply和respond都是正式用语,口语中少用。
正误辨析
一周前我给她回了信。
[误]I answered her letter for a week.
[正]I answered her letter a week ago.
[正]It is a week since I answered her letter.
[析]answer是瞬间动词,不表示持续动作,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用。 双解释义
C1. 回答; 回音 words spoken or written in return
C2. 答案 solution to a problem
U3. 反应 gesture or act done in return
基本要点
⒈answer用作可数名词时主要表示用口头或书面作出的“回答,答复,答辩”或表示最初不知道而经过思考之后才得出的“答案,解答”。
⒉answer前一般须有冠词、数词或其他能修饰可数名词的限定词(语),其后可接表示“针对…的”介词短语to sth (to不可换成表示所有关系的of或表示目的的for等介词)。
⒊know all the answers意为“(自以为)精通一切”。

词语辨析
answer,reply
这两个词的***同意思是“回答,答复”,都可用作名词或动词。其区别在于:
⒈answer主要指用语言文字回答问题、指责或争论,也可能是以行动满足要求或应付情况; reply则主要指用语言文字给予回答,进行解释等,也可指用行动回答。
⒉answer作为名词时,其后常接介词to; reply作为名词时,其后往往接介词to或者for。例如:
The Western answer to this move was the use of plane to supply food.西方对这一建议的答复是用飞机提供食品。
They gave her a reply for her claim.他们对她的要求做了答复。
⒊answer是普通用语,用得比较广泛; reply则较为正式。
