求 account for 和 answer for 的区别
回答：account for
解释；说明.
answer for
对...担保; 为...的后果承担责任
代表...讲话; 代表...的意见 
有时answer for 也有类似account for的意思，有“辩解，说明”的意思，如：
"It would have been better if bin Laden had been captured alive and forced to answer for his deeds in a court of law," Mr Rosenthal said. 罗森塔尔表示:"如果是活捉本•拉登,强迫他在法庭上为自己的行为辩解,效果会更好。"
