陷阱
⚠️respond to vs. reply to:都是「回应」,适用语境不同
The company responded to the allegations by releasing a detailed statement addressing each claim.
responded = replied(可以直接替换)
respond to 更广泛,可接行动、声明、政策等任何形式的回应;reply to 侧重「言语上直接答复」(reply to an email = 回复邮件),通常不接「指控、批评」等抽象名词
公司通过发表详细声明,逐一回应了相关指控。(responded to allegations = 以声明全面回应,不能用 replied to)
