(4). Answer:
回复：
(5). Dear Julio,
亲爱的朱利奥，
(6). Thanks for asking about these words. As you know, "buy" and "purchase" can be used in similar sentences. They can both be used either as a noun or a verb.
感谢您问到了这些单词。如你所知，buy和purchase可用于类似的语句中。它们都可以用作名词和动词。

(9). She wants to _____ a hamburger.

(10). Like most English speakers, I would say "purchase" for the home and "buy" for the hamburger. You probably wonder, why does English have two words with exactly the same meaning?
跟大多数讲英语的人士一样，我会说purchase一套新房，buy一个汉堡包。你可能想知道，为什么英语中会有两个含义完全相同的单词？

(13). As a result, French had a great effect on the English language: about 10,000 French words were added to English. We still use many of them today. As you might suspect, English speakers use the French words for more formal situations and the Anglo-Saxon words for common ideas and things.
因此，法语对英语产生了巨大影响：英语中增加了大约1万个法语单词。我们今天仍在使用其中许多的单词。正如你所猜想的，说英语的人士在较正式的情况下使用法语，而在相同的看法和事物上使用盎格鲁-撒克逊语。
(14). One way you can tell the difference between the French words and the Anglo-Saxon words is their length. Anglo-Saxon words, like "buy," are often short, while "purchase" and other French words are longer.
区分法语单词和盎格鲁-撒克逊语单词的办法之一是看它们的长度。盎格鲁-撒克逊语单词通常较短，例如buy，而purchase和其它法语单词通常更长。
(15). Buy
购买
(16). Julio asked how to use "buy" and "purchase." We usually use "buy" as a verb. For example,

(17). I will buy food for the party.
我将为这次聚会采购食物。

将buy用作名词并不常见，但是在以下情况下确实可以看到：
(19). The police stopped a drug buy on the street.
警察阻止了一次街头贩毒。
(20). We often use the verb "purchase" for when legal documents are involved, such as in:
当涉及法律文件时，我们通常使用purchase，例如：
(21). The government purchased a new contract for 1,000 airplanes.
政府采购了1000架新飞机。
(22). And you should use "purchase" when you need a noun form, as in:
当你需要使用名词形式时，应使用purchase，例如：
(23). You made a smart purchase when you bought gas before the price went up.
你在油价上涨前买了汽油，做了一笔好买卖。
(24). In summary, try to use "buy" for simple actions, and "purchase" for more formal exchanges of money for goods.
总之，请尝试在简单行为中使用buy，而在更加正式的买入交易中使用purchase。
(25). And now, I will ask you to do something. Please send your questions about English to us by email: learningenglish@voanews.com.
现在，我将给你提出点要求。请通过电子邮件将你在英语方面的问题发给我们。
(26). And that’s Ask a Teacher for this week.
