请教大家一个简单的英语问题

win7

有个简单的问题到现在还糊涂着：

A: You don’t know Jack, right?
B: Yes
C: No
D: Yep

这个D的回答，到底是认识Jack还是不认识？

Generally speaking, 'yep' in this case is the same way of saying 'yes, I know Jack.'
However, people may interpret it differently, so effective communication is to clarify; or ask follow-up questions to testify.

但许多情况下，回答的人回答的点好像是在那个“right”那里

在真实的语用环境中，三个回答都是不完整，无效的。
一般人都会用Yes, I know him; No. I don't know him;
Yep这个词，回答反问句，显得不清不楚，一般都是用来回答普通疑问句，比如 Do yo know Jack? Yep.
最清楚的回答可能是Right. I don‘t know him.
这种单个yes no的选项，只能出现在老式英语教科书里。
