reply的释义：v.回复;答复;回答;回应;作出反应；n.答复;回答。例句：He said in reply that the question was unfair.他回答说这个问题不公平。

reply的用法

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。

3.当reply指“回答”时，是及物动词。

4.当reply指“答复”时，是不及物动词，如有宾语应加介词to，宾语应该是答复的具体对象。

5.reply后不可接人和that从句；

6.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。

7.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。
