Picture a round dish of pastry with a filling baked inside, brought to the table whole and then cut into wedges for everyone. Both halves of that picture matter: what is inside (sweet or savoury), and the fact that one round thing gets divided into shares.

可以想成:一個圓圓的派,餡烤在酥皮裡面,整個端上桌,然後切成一塊一塊分給大家。這幅畫面有兩個重點,各自長出後面的用法:一個是「裡面包什麼」(甜的、鹹的都可以),一個是「一個圓的東西被切成好幾份」——談分錢、分市場時借的就是後面這一半。
