短释义：

如果你说的话是为了让人们彼此生气，那么你的话就是分裂的。如果你想避免在家人的感恩节晚餐上引起分歧，最好避免讨论政治。
长释义：
The adjective divisive is related to the verb divide, which means “to separate things or pull them apart.” Divisive things divide. That’s why it’s best to avoid potentially divisive topics like politics if you believe you are in the company of people who have differing opinions. Don’t confuse divisive with decisive, which means “able to make decisions” and “unmistakable, beyond a doubt.”
形容词 divisive 与动词 divide 有关，意思是“分开事物或将它们拉开”。分裂的事物分裂。这就是为什么如果您认为自己与持不同意见的人为伍，最好避免政治等可能引起分歧的话题。不要将 divisive 与 decisive 混为一谈，后者的意思是“能够做出决定”和“不会弄错，毫无疑问”。
