on behalf of somebody/ on somebody's behalf，词性：preposition phrase。 解释有三： 1.as the representative of somebody or instead of them，代表/ 代替某人。 Mr Chan cannot be here
so his wife will accept the prize on his behalf. 2.US写法：in behalf of somebody/ in somebody's behalf； in order to help somebody，为了帮忙某人。 We collected money in behalf of the homeless. 3.because of somebody; for somebody，因为某人。 Don't worry on my behalf. represent，词性：verb。 由于represent是verb，所以跟on behalf of somebody的用法不同，但意思与上面的解释一有点相似。 意思是to speak
act or be present officially for another person or people，代表某人。 柯林斯字典有这样的解释： If someone such as a lawyer or a politician represents a person or group of people
they act on behalf of that person or group. If you represent a person or group at an official event
you go there on their behalf. If you represent your country or town in a petition or sports event
you take part in it on behalf of the country or town where you live. 例句： They chose a famous barrister to represent them in court. The general secretary may represent the president at official ceremonies. My only aim is to represent Britain at the Olympics. 总结： represent是动词；但on somebody's behalf是preposition phrase，所以用它时要加上动词。 2010-08-25 10:32:41 补充： 例子： He represented her. He did sth on her behalf.
