词义辨析

v. (动词)

divide among, divide with

• divide among含有“给…分”的意思,即完全分给他人,自己丝毫不拿, divide with的意思是“和…一起分”,既和他人分享,自己也拿一份。

divide, distribute, part, separate, share

• 这五个词的共同意思是“分开”“分离”。其区别是：
• 1.divide和distribute都可指把一物按照一定的比例“分开”“分配”, divide通常分得比较均匀, distribute则不一定平均; share也指“分开”,但强调分开后的“共享”,自己也取用其中一份。例如:
• We divided out the money equally.我们把钱均分了。
• The power stations are distributed over different areas.电力站分布在不同的地区。
• They shared the cake between them.他们分吃了那块蛋糕。
• 2.divide和distribute都有强行分割的意味, part更强,含有分开后不再相互接触的意味。例如:
• No quarrels shall divide us.什么样的争论也不能使我们不合。
• This class is too large; we shall have to distribute it.这个班太大了,我们得把它分一分。
• They parted friendly.他们友好地分手了。
• 3.separate还可指由于某种自然的障碍而造成阻隔; divide还有“分歧”的意思; distribute还可表示“散发”“分布”。例如:
• This part of the garden should be separated off for vegetable growing.应当把花园的这部分分出来种菜。
• The House again divided, and the bill was passed by 11 votes.议院的意见又产生了分歧,该法案以11票获得通过。
• They distributed leaflets to the crowd.他们向人群散发传单。

divide, deal, dispense, distribute

• 这四个词的共同意思是“分配”。其区别在于:deal强调公平分配; dispense强调按需分配; distribute强调均衡分配; divide则强调人人有份。例如:
• The money must be dealt out fairly and justly.这笔钱必须公平分配。
• The new machine distributes seeds evenly and quickly.这台机器将种子又匀又快地播种下去。
• He dispensed money to the poor.他把钱分给穷人们。
• They divided the money among themselves.他们把那钱分了。

divide...from, separate...from

• 这两个短语都是“把…和…分开”的意思,常可互换,但前者更常见。

divide...into, separate...into

• 这两个短语都是“把…分为…”的意思,常可互换,但后者更常见。

assign，distribute，divide，allocate

• 这些动词均含“分配，分发”之意。
• assign指按照某种原则进行的硬性分配，也不一定是很公平的。
• distribute通常指以整体或定量分为若干份来分配。
• divide普通用词，侧重将某物分成若干份分配给他人，当某物一分为二时，含平均分配之意。

divide，separate，part，divorce

• 这些动词都有“分开”之意。
• divide指把一个整体按要求分成几个部分，暗示分配之意；也可指分开两个对立的事物。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 10分钟前她把蛋糕分成了三部分。

   误 She has divided the cake into three parts for ten minutes.

   正 She divided the cake into three parts ten minutes ago.

   析 divide为非延续性动词,不与表示一段时间的状语连用。

2. 他们对这个问题的看法有很大分歧。

   误 Their views were very divided on the subject.

   正 Their views were much divided on the subject.

   析 divide的过去分词divided可用作形容词,在句中作表语,可用much, very much等修饰,但不可用very来修饰。
