percentage

Compared meaning: a percentage or proportion (noun).

比较义项：百分比／所占比例（名词）。

• percentage 本词

  Percentage is the general noun for a proportion or share, typically paired with adjectives like small, large or high, and is not placed right after a specific number.

  percentage 是表示比例的一般名词，常与 small、large、high 等形容词搭配，通常不直接跟在具体数字后面。

  The percentage of employees working from home has grown steadily this year.

  在家办公的员工比例今年稳步上升。

• percent

  Percent follows a specific number to state an exact rate, acting almost like a unit right after the numeral, and rarely appears with adjectives alone.

  percent 紧跟在具体数字后面表示确切的比率，用法上几乎像一个跟在数字后面的单位，很少单独与形容词搭配使用。

  Nearly ninety percent of the votes were counted by midnight.

  到午夜时，将近百分之九十的选票已经清点完毕。

Both words relate to a percentage. Percent follows a specific number to state an exact rate, almost like a unit right after the numeral. Percentage is the general noun for a share or proportion, typically paired with adjectives like small, large or high.

这两个词意思很接近，都表示“百分比”，但用法不同：percent 通常紧跟在具体数字后面，构成“数字+percent”的固定搭配；percentage 是普通名词，常与 small、large、high 等形容词搭配，泛指比例，不直接跟在数字后面。这里没有涉及两词的其他义项。

Compared meaning: a part of a whole (noun).

比较义项：整体中的一部分（名词）。

• portion

  A general, neutral word for a part of something (often food, land, or a task) given to or made for one person or purpose; it does not imply an exact numeric ratio or division among several people.

  泛指某样东西的一部分（常指食物、土地或任务），是分给或专为一个人、一种用途准备的一份；并不表示确切的数字比例，也不强调在多人之间进行分配。

  The recipe recommends a small portion of rice for each serving.

  食谱建议每份餐点搭配一小份米饭。

• percentage 本词

  Expresses a part as a number out of a hundred; used mainly in statistics or when describing groups, surveys, or exam results, not for everyday physical portions or divided shares.

  把一部分表示为百分之几的数字；主要用于统计、描述群体、调查或考试结果，不用于日常的实物份量或人与人之间分配的份额。

  Only a small percentage of the population owns a car in that city.

  在那座城市，只有一小比例的人口拥有汽车。

• share

  A part of something that is allotted to a person as their portion when a whole is divided among two or more people; often used for money, work, or responsibilities.

  整体在两个或更多人之间分配时，分给某人的那一部分；常用于金钱、工作或责任方面。

  Each partner receives an equal share of the company's profits every year.

  每位合伙人每年都能获得公司利润中相等的一份。

All three mean a part of a whole. Portion is a neutral part given to someone. Percentage is a part shown as a number out of a hundred, used in statistics. Share is a person's part when a whole is divided among people, often money.

这三个词在这一义项中都表示“整体中的一部分”，但侧重点不同：portion 是最中性的说法，常指分给某人或用于某种用途的一份，不强调具体数字或人与人之间的分配；percentage 强调用百分之几的数字来表达比例，多用于统计、调查、群体描述等语境；share 强调整体被多人分摊后，某人应得或分到的那一份，常用于金钱、工作、责任等场合。这里不比较 share 用作动词“分享，共用”的用法。
