A demonstration is usually about a public issue that affects a whole country, region or city; a protest can be about a more private matter, for example by workers against their employers. Either can involve a march, but both may simply consist of a number of people standing together holding up signs or shouting a message. Demonstration can suggest a larger number of people than protest, which can involve a large or small number of people. Protest is a slightly more informal word and is often used by journalists. * demonstration既可表示反对，也可表示支持；protest则总是表示反对。demonstration通常涉及影响整个国家、地区或城市的公共问题，protest则可涉及比较私人的问题，如工人抗议雇主。两个词都可能包含游行活动，但也可能仅是一些人站在一起举着标语或喊口号。demonstration可暗示参与者较多，protest的参加者则可多可少。protest略为非正式，是新闻记者的常用词汇。■ march [countable] an organized walk by a large group of people from one place to another, in order to protest about sth, or to express their opinions 示威游行；抗议游行◆Thousands of people from all over the country attended the march.数以千计来自全国各地的人参加了这次示威游行。▸ march verb [intransitive] ◆Hundreds of people marched in support of the teachers' pay claim.数百人游行示威，支持教师们的加薪要求。■ demo /ˈdeməʊ; NAmE ˈdemoʊ/ [countable] (BrE, informal, especially spoken) a demonstration 示威游行；示威集会◆We all went on the demo.我们都参加了示威游行。ⓘ Demo is most often used in spoken language, but it also appears in headlines in popular newspapers when journalists want to use the shortest words possible. * demo最常用于口语，但由于新闻记者希望使用尽可能简短的词汇，该词也会出现在通俗报纸的标题中。 presentation noun presentation ♦︎ demonstration ♦︎ demoThese are all words for an occasion on which sth is explained or shown to a group of people, or the act of doing this. 这些词均表示展示会或展示。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆a sales / product presentation / demonstration / demo◆to give / watch a presentation / demonstration / demo■ presentation / /ˌpreznˈteɪʃn; NAmE ˌpriːzenteɪʃn/ [countable, uncountable] a meeting at which sth, especially a new idea, product or piece of work, is shown to a group of people; the act of doing this （尤指新概念、新产品或新作品的）介绍会，发布会；展示◆The sales manager will give a presentation on the new products.销售部经理将举办一次新产品推介会。◆The main emphasis of the training will be on presentation skills.本次培训的重点是训练推介和展示技巧。■ demonstration /ˌdemənˈstreɪʃn/ / [countable] an occasion on which sb shows or explains how sth works or is done; the act of doing this 示范；演示◆We were given a brief demonstration of the computer's functions.向我们简短演示了这种电脑的功能。NOTE 辨析 Presentation or demonstration?A presentation can be of a thing or an idea; a demonstration is always practical, either of a thing or a technique. * presentation可以是事物或观点的展示，demonstration则总是对事物或技艺的实际操作示范◆Candidates have to give a short presentation on a subject of their choice.候选人必须就他们选定的题目作个简短介绍。◆Can you give me a practical demonstration?你能给我做个实际示范吗？ ■ demo /ˈdeməʊ; NAmE ˈdemoʊ/ [countable] (informal) a demonstration, especially an informal one （尤指非正式的）示范，演示◆Look, I'll give you a demo.来，我给你做个示范。 |
