[译] 那个学生问了一个复杂的问题。
[误] The student inquired a complicated question.

[正] The student asked a complicated question.
[注] 动词 inquire 与 ask 都有“询问”的涵义，但前者不与 question 搭配。在下列句子中两者是通用的：She asked (inquired) where he lived. 她询问他住在哪里。“Where does he live?”she asked(inquired). “他住在哪里?”她问道。/If you don’t know, you must ask(inquire). 不知道就要问。
