有關 英語 (美國) 的問題

ask for 和 call for 的差別在哪裡？如果不好說明，請提供一些例句。

What about asking for instead of calling for? Even so, still natural or unnatural?

German police are calling for information about the possible owners of two 17th-century paintings discovered in a highway rest stop dumpster.

@paramus Hello!

Call for differs from ask for because “call for” implies that you need to raise your voice or use an auxiliary form of communication like a bell, or phone to make the request.

However, in this case the German police are “calling for” information

In other words…the German police are using the radio, or the news, or some form of auxiliary communication to get help in obtaining information

@paramus Hello!
My examples are for the word “call for”. “Call for” is more specific to how the communication is happening
Ask for simply means a request no matter the means of communicating the request.

@andersonchristopher I see. Call for includes the meaning that the way of getting information is something via voice. If my understanding is correct, it can rephrase to ask for by radio, news, or some form of auxiliary communication.

@paramus Yes, You may also rephrase the sentences and replace call for with “ask for”. When you do that, it simply reduces the urgency of the request.
