    小知识

    To acquit someone is to clear them of charges. Acquitting also has to do with how you carry or present yourself.

    If you're accused of a crime, then the best thing that can happen to you is being acquitted — that means you were cleared or exonerated of the charges. A defense lawyer wants to have his client acquitted. But watch out for another unrelated meaning: acquitting can mean how you behave, conduct, or carry yourself. If you acquit yourself like a champion, then you're acting like a champion.

    单词用法

    词语辨析
    acquit，behave，conduct，demean。
    这组词都可以表示“检点，守规矩”。它们的区别在于：behave常通过修饰语表达各种各样的言和行；conduct则强调举止有度，符合要求、意愿等；demean表示“与…相称，得体”，有时有“降低身份”的意思；acquit的宾语常是反身代词，多用于令人赞叹或令人满意的行为举止。
