Correspond has two main meanings: to match or be equivalent ('the numbers don't correspond') and to communicate by exchanging letters ('they corresponded for years'). 'Corresponding' means matching or equivalent. A 'correspondent' is either someone you exchange letters with or a journalist reporting from a location.

「correspond」有两个主要含义:匹配或相当('the numbers don't correspond'数字不符)和通过书信交流('they corresponded for years'他们通信多年)。'Corresponding'意为匹配的或相当的。'Correspondent'既指通信的人,也指从某地报道的记者。
«Correspond» tiene dos significados principales: coincidir o ser equivalente («the numbers don't correspond» – los números no coinciden) y comunicarse intercambiando cartas («they corresponded for years»). «Corresponding» significa coincidente o equivalente. Un «correspondent» es alguien con quien intercambias cartas o un periodista que reporta desde una ubicación.
「correspond」には2つの主な意味があります:一致する、または同等である(「the numbers don't correspond」数字が一致しない)と、手紙を交換してコミュニケーションする(「they corresponded for years」彼らは何年も文通した)。「Corresponding」は一致する、または同等のを意味します。「Correspondent」は文通相手か、ある場所から報道するジャーナリストを指します。
Correspond에는 두 가지 주요 의미가 있습니다: 일치하거나 동등한 것('the numbers don't correspond(숫자가 일치하지 않는다)')과 편지를 주고받으며 소통하는 것('they corresponded for years(그들은 수년간 서신을 교환했다)')입니다. 'Corresponding'은 일치하거나 대응하는 것을 의미합니다. 'Correspondent'는 편지를 주고받는 상대이거나 현지에서 보도하는 기자를 뜻합니다.
