词义辨析

n. (名词)

portion, part, section

• 这三个词的共同意思是“部分”, part可替换portion和section。其区别是：
• 1.part指任何整体中的一部分,是最常用的词; portion指各人分得的一部分; section指对整体分割、区分或归类后而形成的部分。
• 2.portion强调一份的量; section常暗指各部分之间有明显的界限。
• 3.portion多用于抽象事物; section多用于具体事物; part则既可用于抽象事物,也可用于具体事物。例如:
• He only gave away a small part of his fortune.他只捐赠了小部分家产。
• He was hungry and ordered two portions of fish.他很饿,叫了两份鱼。
• The town has three sections.这个城市有三个区域。
