您好,按照個人的理解,divide 作為(名詞)時,
1)當譯為分歧、界限時,是可數名詞,比如:
a cultural divide between the people.(民眾間的壹個文化分歧)
the difference of gender is a divide(性別差異就是壹道分界線)
2)當譯為分水嶺,尤其山谷或河系間高地形成的分水嶺時會視為不可數名詞,比如:
the sharp divide between rich and poor regions(貧富之間清晰的分水嶺)
the mountain is the divide between the two rivers(這座山是這兩條河的分水嶺)
