The nonlinear realization of the superconformal symmetry in two dimensions is considered. The superconformal symmetry is realized by means of dimension $-1/2$\ Nambu-Goldstone fermion $\xi$\ and its dimension 3/2 conjugate $\eta$. A matter coupling of these Nambu- Goldstone fermions reproduce the realization found by Berkovits and Vafa to show the equivalence between the bosonic string and a $N=1$\ superstring. This indicates that this equivalence is a result of the super Higgs mechanism as a two dimensional field theory, in which the NG fermions become unphysical.
