✔ 最佳答案

I think you are asking the difference between ANSWER and REPLY?
(instead of REPLAY)

1. 兩者都有回答、回應之意
My answer/reply to the question is….

兩者同樣可用作答辯之意
How would you answer/reply to the criticism made of your work?

作為名詞, reply的用法少answer很多, 只有回覆一意, 多數時候是以動詞出現。
而且通常和 to 一起出現
In reply to the letter....

2. 不過有些情況下不能用reply
a) 應門 I answer the door.
b) 給反應 Please answer back, don’t just ignore me!
c) 對應人/物 It is said to be Eastern answer to Venice. (這被喻為東方的威尼斯)
d) 符合、滿足 The sofa answers our needs. He answers to your description.
e) 答案 The correct answer to the puzzle is…..

ANSWER = RESPONSE TO QUESTION = 回答

REPLAY = RESTART / TO SHOW IT AGAIN = 重演 / 重播
