representer
基本解釋
- vt.表現(xiàn);表示;描繪;代表;象征;說明;闡明
- vi.提出異議
詞源解說
- 14世紀(jì)晚期進(jìn)入英語,直接源自古法語的representer;最初源自拉丁語的reprsentare:re (強(qiáng)調(diào)) + prsentare (呈現(xiàn),表達(dá)),意為表達(dá),說明。
用法辨析
- represent的基本意思是“代表”,多指受委托代表某人、組織、機(jī)構(gòu)、國(guó)家等辦理某事。引申可指“象征”“體現(xiàn)”“表示”“描繪”“聲稱”“扮演”等。
- represent既可用作及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞。用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),可接名詞、代詞、that從句作賓語;也可接雙賓語,其間接賓語須由介詞to引出。represent還可接以as短語充當(dāng)補(bǔ)足語的復(fù)合賓語。
- 注意represent與delegate的意思區(qū)別:represent指“代表某人”。delegate指“委派某人”。He represented me at the meeting. 他代表我在會(huì)議上。He delegated me to the meeting. 他派我代表他去會(huì)議。
- represent有做“說明,闡明”的意思。He represented her to be an actress. 三句的意思相同,均表達(dá)“他說她是個(gè)女演員”的意思。
- present sb with sth指“將某物贈(zèng)送某人”。
v. (動(dòng)詞)
