【适用场合】
今天我们来学习一个短语，叫做：
put on a show
这个短语的字面意思是什么呢？
上演一出表演；进行一次演出；举办一次演出等等。
When people put on a show, exhibition, or service, they perform it or organize it.
eg: The band are hoping to put on a UK show before the end of the year.
这支乐队希望能够在这年的年底之前在英国办一场演唱会。

做这个意思理解的时候，我们还经常会在show之前加上形容词作定语去修饰它。
put on a good/poor/... show
做了一次精彩/糟糕的演出；

eg: Though they were heavily favored to win, the team put on a pretty poor show.
尽管他们赢得比赛的呼声很高，但是这支队伍在比赛中表现很差。

那口语中其实还有引申义可以学习，
一起来看一下这一条英文解释：
If you put on a way of behaving, you behave in a way that is not natural to you or that does not express your real feelings.
假装；佯装；演戏；装出……的样子；
eg: Stop putting on an act and be yourself.
别装腔作势了，做你自己吧。

eg: She had hoped the couple would put on a show of unity.
她之前还希望那对夫妻能表现出夫妻和睦相处，团结一致的样子。

eg: It was hard to believe she was ill. She was putting it on.
很难相信她病了，她是假装的！
