Slice and slit mean to cut something with a knife. Slice means cutting food into thin flat pieces to serve or eat. Slit means making a long, narrow cut without removing material, often to open something, like fabric. Not compared: slice as a noun.

两词都指“用刀等工具切开某物”,但 slice 强调切下薄片,通常是完整的一部分;slit 强调划出一道狭长的口子,并不切下任何东西。这里不比较 slice 用作名词(一片)或 slit 的其他用法。
