英语请问perform作何解释,以及represent sth to sth什么意思?不懂勿说
but others also are objects of envy, who dignify their paltry employments, and sometimes even their passions, with pompous titles, representing them to mankind as gigantic achievements performed for their welfare and glory.
请问履行实施什么东西？那represent什么意思呢？
答
这句话总的意思是：另外那些人也是让人羡慕的,他们抬高自己的身价和情调,还用浮夸的头衔,显示他们是人类谋取利益和荣誉的巨大成就.（人中精英）.perform还是本义,就是履行、执行、实施（的过程）,represent后面的不是短语,to mankind是个插入语.
