It is kind of difficult to answer such a question because these words have multiple meanings on its own. The meanings I’ve chosen below will revolve around the idea of “making something seen"
其实这样问会比较难回答,因为这些词每个词可能会有众多的意思。在以下的解释,我选出跟“让人看到” 的意思有关。
reveal = 透露 (to show something that was hidden at first)
- reveal a secret
- “The clouds parted to reveal a clear sky” – I’m not sure which Chinese word to use in this context.
illustrate = 说明
- Give examples to make something easier to understand
- Explain with stories, pictures and diagrams e.g. “To illustrate my point, let me…”
indicate = 表示、显示
- May be used in formal situations to replace the word “show” in some cases
E.g. “Our records indicate that…”
show = 给人看
- E.g. Can you show me how it's done
- E.g. I showed her a picture of my family
demonstrate = 演示
- To show how something works or how to do something.
E.g. “demonstrate an app”
display = 给人看、表现出
- Sometimes can be used to replace the word “show” in some cases
- To put something where people can see it.
E.g. The museum displays relics and artifacts from World War 2.
- To show a skill, emotion, etc..
Eg. “display no interest”
Hope this helps! 😄
