短释义：
Division is breaking something down into parts, splitting it up. When you have division of labor, everybody does her part.
分裂是把某物分解成几部分，把它分开。当你有分工时，每个人都各司其职。
长释义：
Division is a noun. It refers to taking a hunk — of pie, clothes, numbers, people — and splitting it into smaller bits. A division in the military sense is a group large enough to go to battle. Blame British mathematician John Pell for the long division you learned in math class (but proceeded to forget once you discovered the calculator). Any way you slice it, division is the process of separating something into smaller parts.
除法是名词。它指的是把一大块——馅饼、衣服、数字、人——分成更小的部分。军事意义上的一个师是一个大到可以参加战斗的团体。把你在数学课上学到的长除法归咎于英国数学家约翰·佩尔（但一旦你发现了计算器就忘记了）。不管你怎么切，除法都是把东西分成更小的部分的过程。
文学例句：

词源：
division (n.)late 14c., divisioun, “act of separating into parts, portions, or shares; a part separated or distinguished from the rest; state of being at variance in sentiment or interest,” from Old French division and directly from Latin divisionem (nominative divisio), noun of action from past-participle stem of dividere “to divide” (see divide (v.)).Military sense “portion of an army, fleet, or ship’s company” is from 1590s. Mathematical sense of “operation inverse to multiplication” is from late 14c. The mathematical division sign supposedly was invented by British mathematician John Pell (1611-1685) who taught at Cambridge and Amsterdam.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
division (n.)late 14c., divisioun，“分离成部分、部分或份额的行为；一部分与其余部分分离或区别开来；情绪或兴趣不同的状态”，来自古法语 division 并直接来自拉丁语 divisionem（主格 divisio），动作名词，来自 dividere“划分”的过去分词词干（参见 divide (v.)）。军事意义上的“军队、舰队或舰队的一部分”源自 1590 年代。 “乘法逆运算”的数学意义来自 14c 后期。据推测，数学除号是由英国数学家约翰·佩尔（1611-1685 年）发明的，他曾在剑桥和阿姆斯特丹任教。相关条目及更多
