小知识
A query is a question, or the search for a piece of information.
The Latin root quaere means “to ask” and it's the basis of the words inquiry, question, quest, request, and query. Query often fits the bill when referring to Internet searches, polite professional discourse, and subtle pleas. You could query as to the whereabouts of the lavatory, but you'd sound a bit prim and be better off asking “Where's the toilet?” If your job entails dealing with annoying questions and complaints, you could make it sound better by proclaiming, “I respond to customer queries.”

词语辨析
v.(动词)query,ask,inquire,interrogate,question
这组词都有“问,询问”之意。其区别是ask是最常用词,指对不了解的事情提出问题,并期望得到答复,常用在口语中,例如Did you ask him his name and address?你问他的姓名和地址了吗?inquire多用作书面语,比ask正式,常译作“询问,调查”,指为得到某人或某物的真实确切情况而详细“询问”,但不一定要有被问者,例如The police are trying to inquire into the cause of his death.警察正在设法查出他的死因。question指对某人或某物主动提出问题,以便了解详细情况,意思为“提出,质问”,含有审问的意思,例如The prisoner was questioned by the police.犯人被警察所质问。interrogate意为“盘问,提问题”,多指为了某种特殊目的,希望把一切搞清楚而进行的有条理的询问,可与question互换,例如The lawyer took a long time to interrogate the witness fully.律师花了很长的时间来彻底地盘问证人。query作“质问”或“提出疑问”解,这种“质问”多指向自己的上级或有权势的人提出的质问,目的在于消除疑问,例如They queried the President about his intentions.他们对总统的想法提出了疑问。
