v. (动词)
  1. reply的基本意思是“回答”“答复”“作答”,主要指用语言文字对问题、指控、辩论、质问、起诉或致意等给予回答,也可指用行动回答,是较为正式的书面用语。
  2. reply可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作不及物动词时常与介词to或for连用; 用作及物动词时接that引导的宾语从句,有时也可引出直接引语。
n. (名词)
  1. reply用作名词的意思是“回答,答复”,引申可指“答案”。
  2. reply常与介词to连用。
  1. reply指“回答”时,是及物动词。

    他对我的问题不知应如何作答。

  3. reply后不可接人和that从句;
  4. answer与reply有区别:answer是及物动词,可以直接跟宾语,也可以用answer to的结构,前者更常用。而reply作“答复”解时,是不及物动词,必须用to。answer有具体回答问题的意思,而reply仅仅是回复。

    他回复了她的信,但是没有回答她的问题。
