v.intr.

而M-W上的词条如下:
transitive verb
1 : to add as a supplement
2 [Middle French souploier, alteration of soupplier] a : to provide for : SATISFY *laws by which the material wants of men are supplied ?Bulletin of Bates College* b : to make available for use : PROVIDE *supplied the necessary funds* c : to satisfy the needs or wishes of d : to furnish (organs, tissues, or cells) with a vital element (as blood or nerve fibers)
3 : to substitute for another in; specifically : to serve as a supply in (a church or pulpit)
intransitive verb : to serve as a supply or substitute
虽然这里对于不及物动词也有to serve as a supply之说,所以我也没说作者一定有错,只不过就是多于乐,如果按照answer来的话,还可能画蛇添足。
