What a sage reply you gave! 多聰明的回答啊！

He gave me no chance to reply to his question. 他沒(méi)有給我回答他問(wèn)題的機(jī)會(huì)。

I'm rather hazy about how to reply. 我不清楚如何回答。

It's very odd that she didn't reply to our letter. 她沒(méi)有回我們的信是件很奇怪的事。

It is odd that they did not reply our letter. 他們沒(méi)有給我們回信，這真奇怪。

He disdained to reply to the insult. 他不屑于理會(huì)那侮辱。

Thank you for your prompt reply to our telegram. 多謝您對(duì)我們電報(bào)的即刻答復(fù)。

His evasive reply prompted me to ask him another question. 他閃爍其詞的回答促使我提出又一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

The softness of his reply calmed her down. 他溫和的回答使她冷靜下來(lái)。

She sneered her contempt for his reply. 她對(duì)他的回答嗤之以鼻。

The telegram asked for an instant reply. 這封電報(bào)要求立即回覆。

當(dāng)reply指“回答”時(shí)，是及物動(dòng)詞。 He did not know what to reply.他不知應(yīng)該回答什么。

當(dāng)reply指“答復(fù)”時(shí)，是不及物動(dòng)詞，如有賓語(yǔ)應(yīng)加介詞to，賓語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是答復(fù)的具體對(duì)象。 He did not know how to reply to my question.他對(duì)我的問(wèn)題不知應(yīng)如何作答。

reply后不可接人和that從句；

answer與reply有區(qū)別：answer是及物動(dòng)詞，可以直接跟賓語(yǔ)，也可以用answer to的結(jié)構(gòu)，前者更常用。而reply作“答復(fù)”解時(shí)，是不及物動(dòng)詞，必須用to。answer有具體回答問(wèn)題的意思，而reply僅僅是回復(fù)。 He replied to her letter, but he did not answer her questions.他回復(fù)了她的信，但是沒(méi)有回答她的問(wèn)題。

reply的基本意思是“回答”“答復(fù)”“作答”,主要指用語(yǔ)言文字對(duì)問(wèn)題、指控、辯論、質(zhì)問(wèn)、起訴或致意等給予回答,也可指用行動(dòng)回答,是較為正式的書(shū)面用語(yǔ)。

reply可用作及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞。用作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)常與介詞to或for連用; 用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)接that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句,有時(shí)也可引出直接引語(yǔ)。

reply用作名詞的意思是“回答,答復(fù)”,引申可指“答案”。

reply常與介詞to連用。
