- 1假裝、佯裝（常搭配裝病、裝睡）
To feign a feeling or a state is to put it on: you are not really angry, ill, or asleep, but you act as if you are. “He feigned surprise” means the surprise was an act. It is a little more formal than pretend or fake; you meet it in books and in the news more than in the playground. People feign illness to skip school, or feign sleep so nobody asks them a question. The word is about the show — a feeling or a condition you wear for a moment — not about a small lie of fact like a wrong number.
