answer和reply(答复某人千万不要用)

answer和reply(答复某人千万不要用)(1)

前几天,听到学生说 I will answer after class,英文中有一些表达,多一个词,少一个词,意思完全就不一样了!比如今天要学的"answer" ,如果你经常说answer you back,answer to you , 看完文章,快改过来!

1answer sb back ≠ 给某人答复

answer back sb =顶嘴,回嘴

不是很礼貌的方式应对长辈,领导的批评

例句:

I'd generally talk my father round, but neveranswer back.

我会转弯抹角的委婉和父亲解释,从来不顶嘴。

* talk sb round=委婉的表达

I talked him around to my point of view(我委婉的表达了我的观点)

3answer to sb ≠ 给某人答复

answer to sb = 听从某人

例句:

The great thing about working for yourself is that you don't have to answer to anyone.

自己创业最大的好处是:你不用再听别人的使唤了。

4answer for sb≠ 帮某人回答

answer for sb =替某人做决定

例句:

I can't answer for my colleagues, but as far as I’m concerned this is a great proposal.

我不能替我同事做决定,但时我认为这是到目前为止最好的方案了。

5正确的“回复某人”怎么说?

answer sb =回复某人

例句:

When will you answer me?

你什么时候答复我?

answer the question =回答问题

the answer to the question =这个问题的正确答案

例句:

When will you answer my question?

你什么时候回答我的问题?

Can you tell me the answer to the difficult question?

你能告诉我这道难题该怎么解答吗?
