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. Demonstrationcan 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。■demoˈdeməʊ; NAmEˈdemoʊ [countable] (BrE, informal, especiallyspoken) 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。
