divide是可数名词还是不可数名词?
您好,按照个人的理解,divide 作为(名词)时,
1)当译为分歧、界限时,是可数名词,比如:
a cultural divide between the people.(民众间的一个文化分歧)
the difference of gender is a divide(性别差异就是一道分界线)
2)当译为分水岭,尤其山谷或河系间高地形成的分水岭时会视为不可数名词,比如:
the sharp divide between rich and poor regions(贫富之间清晰的分水岭)
the mountain is the divide between the two rivers(这座山是这两条河的分水岭)
