- Traditionally,in behalf of and on behalf of have distinct senses. In behalf of means "for the benefit of,” as inWe raised money in behalf of the earthquake victims. On behalf of means "as the agent of; on the part of,” as inThe guardian signed the contract on behalf of the minor child. The two senses are quite close, however,and are often confused, even by reputable writers.传统上in behalf of 和 on behalf of 有着不同的意思。 In behalf of 意为“为了…的利益”, 如我们为地震受灾者筹款。 On behalf of表示“作为…的代理人;代表…”, 如监护人代表那个小孩签了合同。 但这两种意思相当接近,因此经常被弄混,连一些名作家也时常混用
