  1. 1nC1/ˈreɪʃoʊ/ · /ˈreɪʃiəʊ/比例

    A way of comparing two amounts, written as one number next to another (like 2:1), that shows how many of one thing there are for each of the other.

    示範例句 · Example

    In our class the ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 2.

    逐字在我們班，男生對女生的比例是 3 比 2。

    ratio 是把兩個數量放在一起比，寫成像 2:1 這種一對數字，告訴你一邊有多少、另一邊就對應多少。跟 rate（速度或百分比，常跟時間、100 相比）不同，ratio 純粹是兩個量的相對大小，例如男生對女生 3 比 2。常用 the ratio of A to B。

One way to picture it: two piles side by side, and you say how many are in one pile for each one in the other. Three teachers to sixty students is 1:20 — the actual numbers can grow or shrink, but as long as that relationship holds, the ratio is the same.

可以想成兩堆東西並排放著，你說的是「那一堆每有一個，這一堆就有幾個」。三個老師配六十個學生，就是 1:20——實際人數可以變大變小，只要這個關係不變，ratio 就一樣。所以它講的是關係，不是數量本身。
