perform

perform: [14] If the word perform had carried on as it started out, it would now be perfurnish (as indeed it was in northern and Scottish English from the 14th to the 16th centuries). For it comes ultimately from Old French parfournir, a compound verb formed from the intensive prefix par- and fournir ‘accomplish’ (source of English furnish). By association with forme ‘form’, this was altered in Anglo-Norman to parformer – whence English perform.
=> furnish

perform (v.)

c. 1300, "carry into effect, fulfill, discharge," via Anglo-French performer, altered (by influence of Old French forme "form") from Old French parfornir "to do, carry out, finish, accomplish," from par- "completely" (see per-) + fornir "to provide" (see furnish).

Theatrical/musical sense is from c. 1600. The verb was used with wider senses in Middle English than now, including "to make, construct; produce, bring about;" also "come true" (of dreams), and to performen muche time was "to live long." Related: Performed; performing.

perform, conduct, do, execute, fulfil

这些动词均含"做，执行，实施，完成"之意。

perform： 指完成困难较大、较复杂的任务。较正式用词。

conduct和perform一样比较正式，二者意义相近，但conduct含指导、领导或监督等意味。

do： 最普通常用词，指完成某项具体工作、任务，也指完成某种行为或动作。

execute： 指需专门技术熟练技巧去完成某种复杂的任务或表演等，也指用行动把计划或打算付诸实施或执行某项命令。

fulfil： 指履行和实现所许诺的、所期望或要求的事情，含最终完成的意味。
