Womankind means all women, thought of together as one large group — women as a whole part of the human race, not the women in one room or one family. You meet it in big, serious statements: "a great day for womankind", "his contempt for womankind".

Womankind means all women, thought of together as one large groupWomankind 指的是把所有女性當成一整個大群體來看——women as a whole part of the human race, not the women in one room or one family是人類的女性整體，不是一個房間或一個家庭裡的那些女人。You meet it in big, serious statements你會在宏大、嚴肅的說法裡遇到它："a great day for womankind"像是 "a great day for womankind"（女性的偉大日子）、"his contempt for womankind""his contempt for womankind"（他對女性的鄙視）。

It is a formal, rather literary, old-sounding word. Nobody says it in ordinary conversation; it belongs to speeches, poems, and writing that wants to sound grand. It has no plural and takes a singular verb.

It is a formal, rather literary, old-sounding word這是個正式、偏文學性、聽起來老派的詞。Nobody says it in ordinary conversation沒有人會在日常對話裡說它；it belongs to speeches, poems, and writing that wants to sound grand它屬於演講、詩，還有想聽起來很宏大的文章。It has no plural它沒有複數形，and takes a singular verb動詞要用單數。

It was built to stand beside mankind (all people) and its partner word menfolk, and it usually appears where a writer wants that wide, sweeping feeling. Because mankind itself now sounds unfair to many people — humankind is the modern replacement — womankind can feel like a word from another century too, though a writer may still choose it on purpose for exactly that old flavour.

It was built to stand beside mankind它是為了跟 mankind（全人類）and its partner word menfolk和它的搭檔詞 menfolk（男性）並列而造出來的，and it usually appears where a writer wants that wide, sweeping feeling通常出現在作者想要那種寬廣、氣勢磅礴的感覺時。Because mankind itself now sounds unfair to many people因為 mankind 本身現在對很多人來說聽起來不太公平——humankind is the modern replacementhumankind 是現代的替代詞——womankind can feel like a word from another century too所以 womankind 也可能讓人覺得是上個世紀的詞，though a writer may still choose it on purpose for exactly that old flavour不過作者有時還是會刻意選用它，就是為了那種老派的味道。
