Represent is the most formal but also the most general of these words and is used in texts such as reports and formal journalism. Depict is slightly more technical than portray and is used more often when talking about art, especially art that is not just pictures or paintings; typical subjects include work, scene, panel, mosaic, tapestry and fresco. Portray is used more often to talk about how things are presented in the media; typical objects include character, image, idea, view and society. 这些词中，represent一词最正式，但含义也最宽泛，用于书面报告和正式的新闻报道。depict比portray专业性稍强，较常用于谈论艺术，特别是非图片或绘画艺术，常见的主语有work、scene、panel、mosaic、tapestry和fresco。portray较常指媒体对事物的描述，常带的宾语有character、image、idea、view和society。 |
