同近义词辨析

这组词都有“回答”的意思，其区别是：

retort指对不同意见、批评或控诉作出迅速、有力的回答，即“反驳”。

respond正式用词，指即刻的，以口头或行动对外来的号召、请求或刺激等作出回答或响应。

return正式用词，从本义“归来，回去”引申作“回答、答辨”讲时，含反驳或反唇相讥之意。

answer常用词，指用书面、口头或行动对他人的请求、询问、质问等作出回答或反应。

reply较正式用词，较少用于口语。侧重经过考虑的较正式答复。

solve 解决，解答。如：He solved all the problems in the exam.(他解出了所有试题。)solve的名词为solution，一般同to搭配。如：a solution to the problem

resolve 表“解决”，“解答”是个正式用词。如：Have you resolved the problem yet?(你把问题解决了吗？)resolve还有“决定”，“下决心”等意思。

answer表“回答”，后面的宾语应是questions。

这组词都有“回答”的意思，其区别是：

respond 作“回答”解，用得较少，也同to 搭配。如：He quickly responded to the question. (他很快就回答了问题。)另外，respond还可表“对……反应”，“响应”。

answer是常用词，后可接letter(回信)，question(回答问题)，doorbell(开门)，telephone(接电话)，advertisement(应征广告)等。

reply 较正式，一般只作不及物动词，可与to连用。如：He has replied to my letter.(他回答了我信中提的问题。)

answer及物动词,

reply 不及物动词,后接 to reply to the letter

权威例句

answer

answer: [OE] Etymologically, the word answer contains the notion of making a sworn statement rebutting a charge. It comes from a prehistoric West and North Germanic compound *andswarō; the first element of this was the prefix *and- ‘against’, related to German ent- ‘away, un-’ and to Greek anti-, source of English anti-; and the second element came from the same source as English swear.In Old English, the Germanic compound became andswaru (noun) and andswarian (verb) ‘reply’, which by the 14th century had been reduced to answer. The synonymous respond has a similar semantic history: Latin respondēre meant ‘make a solemn promise in return’, hence ‘reply’. And, as another element in the jigsaw, Swedish ansvar means ‘responsibility’ – a sense echoed by English answerable.=> swear

answer (n.)

Old English andswaru "an answer, a reply," from and- "against" (see ante) + -swaru "affirmation," from swerian "to swear" (see swear), suggesting an original sense of "make a sworn statement rebutting a charge." A common Germanic compound (cognates: Old Saxon antswor, Old Norse andsvar, Old Frisian ondser, Danish and Swedish ansvar), implying a Proto-Germanic *andswara-. Meaning "a reply to a question," the main modern sense, was present in Old English. Meaning "solution of a problem" is from c. 1300.

answer (v.)

Old English answarian "to answer;" see answer (n.). Meaning "to respond in antiphony" is from early 15c.; that of "to be responsible for" is early 13c. Related: Answered; answering. The telephone answering machine is from 1961.
