短释义：
Some people make a distinction between the meaning of the word behalf when paired with in versus on. In behalf, they argue, is used when the meaning is in the interest of someone else, but on behalf is used when speaking for someone. For example, a medical decision would be made in behalf of the patient, and you would speak on behalf of your family. The reality is that on behalf is typically used for both meanings.
代表意味着代表某人说话或行事。父母可以在孩子年幼时代表他们签署表格，但成年子女可以代表年迈的父母签署。

有些人在与 in 和 on 配对时会区分代表一词的含义。他们认为，代表是在代表他人利益时使用的，而代表是在代表某人说话时使用的。例如，医疗决定将代表患者做出，而您将代表您的家人发言。事实上，“代表”通常具有两种含义。

词源：
behalf (n.)c. 1300, behalve (with dative suffix), “for the sake or benefit, advantage, interest” (of someone), from Old English (him) be healfe “by (his) side,” and, incorrectly, from on (his) healfe “on (his) side,” from healfe “side” (see half). The word was confused with Middle English behalve, behalves (adv. and prep.) “by the side of, near.”Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
代表 (n.)c. 1300, behalve （带与格后缀），“为了（某人）的缘故或利益、优势、利益”，源自古英语 (him) behealfe “在（他）身边”，并且错误地源自 on (his) healfe“在（他的）一侧”，来自healfe“一侧”（见一半）。该词与中古英语 behalve、behalve（副词和预备词）“在……旁边、附近”相混淆。相关条目及更多
