- 1隔離（尤指種族隔離；也指依性別、宗教把人分開）
Segregation is when people of different , sexes, or religions are kept apart so that they live, work, or study separately. The word names a system, not one afternoon. In United States history it is the old order that put Black and white people in different schools, buses, and neighbourhoods. South Africa’s apartheid was a form of it too. People also talk about sex segregation — men and women kept in different schools, prisons, or sports. It is formal: news, law, history. Though actually, the tidy picture is “a rule that splits groups”; on the ground it was also doors, seats, and water taps marked for one group only. Ending the rules is ; the old system itself is segregation. Some speakers now stretch the noun to any keeping-apart, but the heart of the word is still groups of people being made to stay separate.
