核心畫面
You can picture a partner as the one person standing on the same side as you, sharing the same job — the two of you paired up, doing one thing together so that what happens to one happens to both.

可以把 partner 想成：和你站在同一邊、分擔同一件事的那個人——你們兩個搭成一對，一起做一件事，好處壞處一起扛。抓住這個「兩人搭成一對、共擔一事」的畫面，其餘用法就順下來了：一起跳舞、一起打球的人，一起做生意的人，一起過日子的人，一個跟你國簽約合作的國家；連動詞，也只是「和某人搭成這樣的一對」。From the picture

夥伴（國家／組織）
