Compared meaning: a great achievement or brave act (noun).

比较义项:功绩,壮举(名词)。

  • exploit

    Suggests a bold, adventurous, often heroic act; frequently used in the plural to narrate a string of daring deeds, giving the word a formal or legendary tone.

    带有大胆、冒险、常常英勇的色彩;常用复数形式讲述一连串英勇事迹,语气较为正式,甚至带传奇色彩。

    History books are full of stories about his daring wartime exploits.

    历史书中满是关于他战时英勇壮举的故事。

  • feat 本词

    More neutral in tone, emphasizing the skill, strength, or courage needed to accomplish one specific thing, and often paired with 'of', as in a feat of engineering.

    语气更中性,强调完成某一件具体事情所需的技巧、力量或勇气,常与“of”搭配,例如 a feat of engineering(工程壮举)。

    Building the bridge without modern tools was a remarkable feat of engineering.

    在没有现代工具的情况下建造这座桥是一项了不起的工程壮举。

Both words can mean a great achievement. Exploit suggests a bold, adventurous, often heroic act, usually used in the plural for a string of daring deeds, sounding formal or legendary. Feat is more neutral, emphasizing the skill, strength, or courage needed for one specific accomplishment.

这两个词在“功绩,壮举”这一义项上意思相近,但语气不同:exploit 常带冒险、英勇的色彩,多用复数形式讲述某人一连串的壮举,语气较为正式,甚至带传奇色彩;feat 语气更中性,强调完成某件具体事情所需的高超技巧、力量或勇气。这里不比较 exploit 作动词表示“利用,剥削”的义项。
