用法辨析

    v. (动词)

  • represent的基本意思是“代表”,多指受委托代表某人、组织、机构、国家等办理某事。引申可指“象征”“体现”“表示”“描绘”“声称”“扮演”等。
  • represent既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、that从句作宾语；也可接双宾语，其间接宾语须由介词to引出。represent还可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。
  • 注意represent与delegate的意思区别：represent指“代表某人”。delegate指“委派某人”。He represented me at the meeting. 他代表我在会议上。He delegated me to the meeting. 他派我代表他去会议。
  • represent有做“说明，阐明”的意思。He represented her to be an actress. 三句的意思相同，均表达“他说她是个女演员”的意思。
  • present sb with sth指“将某物赠送某人”。
