When you use do to talk about a thing, you are interested in how popular or profitable it is, so do is generally used to talk about the success of sth such as a business or other enterprise. Go is more general, used to describe sth that you experience, such as an event, an interview, a test, or things or life in general. * do可指人或事物的进展与成功,go则仅指事物。用do表示事物的进展时,关注的是受欢迎程度或赢利多少,所以do一般用于谈论生意或业务的成功。go更宽泛些,用于谈论自己经历过的事情,如某一事件,搭配interview、test、things或life等词。■perform [intransitive] (ratherformal) used to talk or ask about the success or progress of sb/sth, especially in business, sport or a test进展,进行(尤用来询问或谈论生意、运动或考试的情况)◆The company has been performing poorly over the past year.这家公司过去一年业绩欠佳。◆If Rooney performs(= performs well) then I believe England can win.如果鲁尼发挥得好,我相信英格兰队能够获胜。◆She performed less well in the second test.她在第二次测验中表现欠佳。▸performance

Both these words are used to talk about people, groups or organizations, but not events. * perform的主动性比fare强,perform well指个人或公司因自身的努力而业绩突出,fare well指个人或群体取得成功,也可能只是幸运,即好事降临在他们头上或者情况有利于他们。两个词都用于人、群体或组织,不用于事件◆The interview performed/fared well.■ˌget ˈon■ˌget aˈlong

The subject of get on/along is usually a person or small group of people in an informal context; it is not used to talk about businesses, organizations or events. * get on/along后接副词时通常接well,一般不说某人get on/along badly。在非正式语境中,get on/along的主语通常是一个人或一小组人,而不是生意、组织或事件。
