A small piece that has broken off something bigger, like a piece of a broken plate or a rock. It can also mean any small part of something whole, like 'a fragment of a conversation you overheard' or 'a fragment of memory.' In grammar, a fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence but is missing something important, like a subject or a verb, so it does not fully work as a sentence on its own. Teachers often mark student writing with 'fragment' when a sentence is not complete.
碎片（破掉的一小塊）；語句破碎、片段（寫作用語）
