Query N   [V Queried Question Means Sound Verb

英语单词 query
英美音标 ['kwiəri]
中文释义 n.质问,询问,怀疑,疑问
v.询问,表示怀疑
vocab简明 A query is a question, or the search for a piece of information.
vocab扩展 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."
真题原句 People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 – the highest score ever recorded.
