✦會使用到 answer 搭配詞的 11 種常見時機 :

1 某事物的答案:
the answer to sth某事物的答案
Education is often seen as the answer topoverty. (教育常被視為貧窮的解決之道。)
Some believe they must answer to a higher power for their actions.(有些人相信他們的行為需要對更高的力量負責。)
【當動詞】
2 表達 或 回應:
answer in your own words 用自己的方式或用自己的話來回答問題(而不是直接引用或抄襲其他人的說法)
Please answer in your own words, not by just copying from the textbook.(請用你自己的話回答,不要僅僅從教科書上抄寫。)
(I'm afraid) I can't answer that 無法回答某個問題或拒絕回答某件事情。
Sorry, I can't answer that question, it's confidential.(抱歉,我無法回答那個問題,那是機密。)
3 接聽電話、回覆信件:

✦包含 answer 的有趣俚語用法 :
8 answer the call of nature 去上廁所
I'll be right back, just need toanswer the call of nature.(我馬上回來,只是需要上個廁所。)
英文小典故:「answer the call of nature」這個俚語來自於對人體自然生理需求的幽默描述,將這樣的需求比作 "大自然的召喚",但這個用法本身更著重於輕鬆、幽默的方式來描述這個生理需求,以免顯得尷尬或不禮貌。
9 表示出席:
answer the roll call 出席或現身
The teacher called out our names one by one, and we had to answer the roll call to mark our attendance.(老師一一喊出我們的名字,我們得回答點名以表示出席。)
英文小典故:「answer the roll call」這個俚語源自於點名或點呼的情境,尤其是在學校、軍隊或其他組織中。在點名時,授課老師、上級或領導會依次喊出人名或名單上的名字,要求每個人回答以確認其出席。這種點名的方式被稱為 "roll call"。
10 answer back 辯護,答辯
He never answers back when he's criticized. (當他受到批評時,他從不反駁。)
When the teacher scolded him, she said, "Don't answer back!"(老師責罵他時說:“不要頂嘴!”)
11 就是...之所在(的答案):
answer to the name of 與某種特質相符 answer to one's own question 與某種特質相符
He answers to the name oftrouble.(他就是麻煩的來源。)
The truth was staring at her; it was an answer to her own question.(事實就在她眼前,是她自問的答案。)
