Divide is slightly more formal than break up or split. Break up often suggests a degree of force: things break up because people or circumstances have forced them to and they cannot hold together any more. When sth has broken up, or been broken up, it can no longer be considered part of a whole thing. * divide比break up或split稍正式些，break up常暗示一定程度的外力，由于人为或环境的力量，事物无法聚合在一起。某物break up或be broken up之后，就不再被看作整体的一部分◆The empire was broken up into different parts (= it was no longer an empire).这个帝国解体成了不同的国家。◆The empire was divided / split into different parts (= it was still an empire but contained separate areas).这个帝国划分成若干不同的地区。Things usually divide or split because it is natural for them to do so, although this is not always the case with particular collocations: cells divide naturally, but atoms can only be split using a great deal of force. * divide和split通常指事物自然正常分裂，但在一些特定搭配中并非总是如此：细胞分裂(cells divide)属于自然分裂，原子分裂(atoms are split)则需要借助强大的外力。 ■ ˌcut sth ˈup

phrasal verb

(cutting, cut, cut)to divide sth into small pieces, especially by using a knife or scissors 切碎；剁碎；剪碎◆He cut up the meat on his plate.他在盘子上把肉切成小块。◆I cut the paper up into small segments.我把那张纸剪成小片。■ subdivide ˈsʌbdɪvaɪd, ˌsʌbdɪˈvaɪd [transitive, often passive] (rather formal) to divide sth into smaller parts, especially when it has already been divided once and each part is being divided again 再分割；再分◆Each of the chapters is subdivided into several double-page spreads.每一章又被细分为几个跨页。■ ˌsplit ˈup■ ˌsplit sb ˈup
