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。 evidence noun evidence ♦︎ proof ♦︎ support ♦︎ testimony ♦︎ demonstrationThese are all words for the facts, signs or objects that make you believe that sth is true. 这些词均表示证据、证明。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆evidence / support for sth◆evidence / proof / testimony / a demonstration that...◆(a) clear / convincing evidence / proof / support / testimony / demonstration◆(a) conclusive evidence / proof / support / demonstration◆(an) ample / adequate evidence / proof / testimony / demonstration◆sufficient / good / direct evidence / proof / testimony◆to provide / give evidence / proof / support / testimony / a demonstration◆to find evidence / proof / support■ evidence [uncountable] the facts, signs or objects that make you believe that sth is true; the information that is used in court to try to prove sth 根据；证明；（法庭上的）证据◆Have you any evidence to support this allegation?你有没有证据证明这个指控？◆There is not a shred of evidence that the meeting actually took place.没有丝毫证据表明确实有过这次会面。◆A body of evidence emerged suggesting that smoking tobacco caused serious diseases.有大量证据表明吸烟引发严重疾病。◆On the evidence of their recent games, it is unlikely the Spanish team will win the cup.从西班牙队最近的比赛情况看，他们不太可能赢得杯赛冠军。◆I was asked to give evidence (= to say what I knew, describe what I had seen, etc.) at the trial.我被要求出庭作证。◆The jury heard evidence from 38 witnesses.陪审团听取了38名目击证人的证词。 see also evidence ⇨ confirm verb 1 ■ proof [uncountable, countable] facts or documents that show that sth is true 证据；证明◆There is no proof that the knife belonged to her.没有证据证明那把刀是她的。◆Can you provide any proof of identity?你能提供身份证明吗？◆Keep the receipt as proof of purchase.保存收据，作为购物凭证。◆These results are a further proof of his outstanding ability.这些成果进一步证实了他的杰出才干。 see also prove ⇨ show 1 NOTE 辨析 Evidence or proof?
