An impression or imitation (or a humorous impersonation) just copies the most obvious features of a person's voice, manner or behaviour, that people will instantly recognize, in order to be amusing. An impersonation can be a serious attempt to copy a person's whole appearance and character, either in order to deceive sb by really making them believe you are the person impersonated, or as part of a serious dramatic performance. An impression and an imitation are almost the same, but an impression may be more successful. * impersonation与impression或imitation相比,可以是对某人较认真的模仿。impression或imitation(或humorous impersonation)只模仿某人的声音、举止、行为中最明显的特征,使人能即刻辨认出来,达到滑稽的效果。impersonation可以是对一个人的整个外表和性格的认真模仿,目的要么是骗人相信你就是你假扮的那个人,要么是严肃的戏剧表演。impression和imitation两词几乎完全同义,只是impression可能更成功◆a convincing impression令人信服的模仿◆a poor imitation拙劣的模仿
