「conduct」強調組織、引導或指揮一個過程或活動;「perform」則強調執行、完成某項具體任務或展示技能。
conduct vs manage
「conduct」側重於引導或執行某個特定活動或過程;「manage」則側重於控制、監督或經營一個持續的系統、專案或組織。
conduct vs carry out
「conduct」較正式,常用於學術、科學或專業場合;「carry out」較通用,指執行計畫、命令或任務。
在口語中,當引述或轉述他人的行為時,常會使用「conduct」來指涉較正式或特定的活動。 EN: So, how did they conduct the interview? 翻譯: 所以,他們是怎麼進行面試的?
