以上两个词的意思非常相似,使用起来几乎没有区别,但特定的情况下会趋向用其中的某一个。
reaction“反应”一般是不假思索的第一行动.有时也和response一样,作为“对付”之意使用,response一般表示经过慎重考虑后的反应。另外response还有暴力性的报复之意,这一点与reaction不同。书面的答复也用response。
A reaction is usually one's first response to a question or situation.It is not often carefully thought out.Response,on the other hand,is more often carefully planned and written down.
