用法词典
	answer
	来自古英语adswerian，本意是to swear against起誓证实[某事]以反对[某人]，现在无论是回答“问题”还是“查询”都可以用answer)
参考词汇
(1)	answer,respond,reply这组词都有“回答”的含义。
(2)	answer(名词亦为answer)在这三个词中使用范围也最广。它可以用于“回答”别人提出的问题，这是用语言回答。电话铃响了，你去answer the telephone(接电话)这种“回答”即包含语言又包含行动。门铃响了，你去开门(answer the door bell)却只用行动。
	In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises.
	在回答这些问题的过程中，我要么就点头，要么就发出奇怪的叫声。
(3)	respond(名词为response)用于表示自发的反应，或不反对作出反应。
	I struck him a crack and he responded with a kick.
	我啪的打了他一下，他踢回了一脚。
(4)	reply(名词亦为reply)和answer虽然常常可以互相使用，但有时并不能通用。如：reply虽然也可以用来表示“以行动回答”，但与answer明显不同：
	The officer answered the guard's saltue by a nod.
	那位军官点一点头以回答卫兵的敬礼。
	The officer replied the guard's salute.
	那位军官对卫兵的敬礼回了礼。
(5)	因为reply一词从词源学角度上讲，其含义是fold back使返回羊栏。sheep有教区居民的意思。因此foldback(即reply)也有使返回老家或原处的意思。此外，answer a letter所表示的“回信”，可以只是表示“收到了某人某月某日的来信”，但对来信提出的问题并不一定作了答复，而reply a letter则可以表示回答了来信提出的一切细节。
	They would be able to reply to our signals using similar methods.
	他们会有能力使用类似的方法来回答我们的信号。
