英语翻译：形式上的事。（翻译一下，还有下面的补充）

比如上级给与了你一个指标，但更本不会去检查你完成没有，你只需要提交一个完成报告就行了，这样的事就是一种形式上的事。

formality
形式;仪式; 俗套
英文释义：
If you say that an action or procedure is just a formality, you mean that it is done only because it is normally done, and that it will not have any real effect on the situation.
例句：
With the Cold War almost over, the talks were a mere formality. 随着冷战即将结束，对话就只是一种形式了。

For example, your superior gives you such a task that you only need to submit a completion report and he won't care about the actual status, such a task is merely a "formality".

pro-forma thing For example，your superior gives you a index，and he will not to check you，the only thing you need to complete is submiting a report，that is a kind of pro-forma thing

1.was sentenced to death

For example, the leader gives you a target, but he does not check if you have finished it, you only need to submit a complete report, this is pro forma.
