majority

Compared meaning: the largest part of a group or amount (noun).

比较义项：群体或事物中最大的部分（名词）。

• majority 本词

  Majority refers to more than half of a countable group, especially people or votes; it pairs with plural, countable nouns like residents, voters, or students.

  majority指可数群体（尤其是人或投票）中超过一半的部分，常与residents、voters、students这类可数复数名词搭配。

  The majority of residents voted in favor of the new park.

  大多数居民投票赞成建造这座新公园。

• bulk

  Bulk refers to the largest part of a single uncountable mass or amount, such as work or money, without implying individual members; it is more formal and does not require over 50 percent.

  bulk指某个不可数整体（如工作或资金）中最大的一部分，不涉及可数的个体成员，语体更正式，也不要求超过一半。

  The bulk of the work was finished before the deadline.

  大部分工作在截止日期前已经完成。

Both words mean the largest part of something. Majority is used for countable groups, like people or votes, and means more than half. Bulk is used for an uncountable whole, like work or money, is more formal, and does not mean over half.

这两个词在此义项上都表示“群体或事物中最大的部分”，但majority多用于人或投票等可数群体，强调超过半数；bulk多用于不可数的整体（如工作、资金），语体更正式，不强调是否过半。这里不比较bulk表示“大小、体积”的义项。
