You can picture division as drawing a line through one whole thing so it falls into separate parts. From that single act of splitting come everything else: people splitting into sides, numbers being split up, an organization split into sections, an army split into units, sport teams sorted into levels, and even a vote where the room physically splits into groups.

可以想成在一整個東西上劃一條線,把它切成幾個分開的部分。所有其他意思都是從「切開」這個動作長出來的:人分成幾派、數字被分掉、組織分成幾個區塊、軍隊分成幾個單位、球隊照實力分級,甚至投票時整個議場真的分成幾群來算人數。
