比较义项：展示（名词，指展示的行为或陈列的事物）。

• show

  Refers to an act or event of showing something, often performance-like or public, as in a car show or a show of force; emphasizes the action, not the objects on view.

  指展示某事物的行为或活动，常带有表演性质或公开场合的意味，例如车展或武力展示，强调的是展示这一行为本身，而不是陈列出来的物品。

  The parade was an impressive show of local pride and unity.

  这场游行是当地人自豪感和团结精神的一次精彩展示。

• display 本词

  Refers to an arrangement of objects set out for people to look at, typically in a fixed place such as a shop window, museum, or exhibition; emphasizes the arranged items, not an event.

  指为供人观看而摆放整齐的一组物品，通常摆在固定的地方，比如橱窗、博物馆或展览会，强调的是陈列出来的物品本身，而不是某个展示的行为或场合。

  The store put the new phones on display near the entrance.

  商店把新款手机摆在入口附近展示。

Show and display both relate to showing things. Show is an event or act, like a car show, emphasizing action, not objects. Display is an arrangement of objects set out for people to look at, like a shop window, emphasizing items, not an event.

show 和 display 在“展示”这个意义上很接近，但 show 强调展示的行为或场合（如车展、表演），而 display 强调摆放整齐供人观看的物品（如橱窗陈列）。这里不比较 show 作动词表示“演示，给……看”的用法（如“show me how to use this phone”），也不比较 display 表示“显示器”这一具体设备的义项。
