They acted〔performed〕 well.他们演得很好。它们之间的区别是: 1.act强调的是“扮演某角色”; perform强调的是“表演给人看”,后者更侧重于表演的能力,技巧或效果。 2.act指戏剧、电影,而perform除指戏剧电影外,还包括器乐演奏及舞蹈等。 3.act的主语通常是人,而perform还可以是动物等。 act,action,deed,operation,performance这些名词均含“行为、行动”之意。 act一般指具体的、短暂的或个别的行为,强调行为的完成及其效果。 action普通用词,着重行动的过程。 deed较庄重用词,除泛指各种行为外,还可用于指某种高尚或伟大的行为,故常译作“功绩,业绩”。 operation多指一连串行动或行为的完成方式。 performance主要指行动的方式方法。 law,constitution,regulation,code,rule,act这些名词均有“法同,法规”之意。 law普通用词,泛指由最高当局所制订、立法机构所通过的任何成文或不成文的法规或条例。 constitution指治理国家或国家在处理内外政务时所遵循的基本法律和原则;也指规章规则的汇集。 regulation普通用词,指用于管理、指导或控制某系统或组织的规则、规定或原则等。 code指某一阶层或社会所遵守的一整套法典、法规或法则;也可指与某一特殊活动或主题有关的规则。 rule通常指机关、团体的规章、条例或比赛规则;也指对人行为、方法等所作的规定,还可指习俗所承认的规定。 act指经立法机构通过并由行政管理签署的法案。 14世纪晚期进入英语,直接源自古法语的acte;最初源自拉丁语的agere,意为做,驱使。 用作名词 n. 动词+~appreciate an act of kindness感激仁慈行为commit a rash act轻举妄动commit an act of war against对…采取战争行动commend an act of charity称赞慈善行为do another noble act做另一件高尚的事do many acts of kindness做许多善事do wrongful acts为非作歹get into the act插手,参与,参加have no act in没有参与pass an act通过法案,使法案成立perform a plucky act作出勇敢的举动play the baby act作出幼稚的举动practise an act练习一个动作praise an act of charity颂扬善行put on an act装模作样形容词+~aggressive act侵略行径amendable act修正法amusing act有趣的表演arbitrary act独断专行atrocious act粗暴的行为authenticated act决议书;
