    词源词根法
    在古代西方的法庭上,宣誓扮演着重要的角色。证人作证、原告被告的申辩都要进行宣誓。在现代西方法庭上我们依然还能看到证人在作证之前都要象征性地宣誓。英语单词answer的来源就跟这种宣誓行为有关。单词answer中的an与词根anti(对于、against)有关,swer与单词swear(宣誓)有关。所以,它的字面意思就是“经过宣誓对指控做出答辩”。它本是一个严肃的法律术语,但在长期的使用过程中,逐渐丧失其法律含义,变成了“答复、回答”等含义。=answer:['ɑ?ns?]v回答n回答,答案,答辩。记:an(anti)+swer(swear)前缀anti-,相对。词根swer,发誓,见swear.原指法律用语,发誓没干过某坏事,指控不实。后词义转化为回复,答复。

    小知识

    An answer is a response to a question, problem, or need. If you don’t get enough sleep, quitting your late-night TV habit might be the answer.

    Answer, which can be a noun or a verb, comes from the Old English for swear, and the word originally meant an official, sworn response to a legal charge. We don’t have to be sworn in when we answer a question, however, we just need to reply. Answer also means “solution.” Is the answer to poverty better education? If you meet a requirement, you answer it. If you are obligated to someone, you answer to him.
