RELATIONS 和 RELATIONSHIP在表示兩者（人 ,國家 ,ETC）關(guān)系這個(gè)意思上面,如果沒有什么感情的意思是可以混用的.比如中美關(guān)系,兩者都可以
和FRIEND,FRIENDSHIP；MEMBER,MEMBERSHIP的關(guān)系類似,但要復(fù)雜一點(diǎn),主要原因是在于RELATION本來就是抽象的東西.FRIENDSHIP可以看成FRIEND之間的一種關(guān)系.RELATIONSHIP也可以看成RELATION的關(guān)系,就是關(guān)系的關(guān)系.
比如：
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ME AND MY FATHER,我和父親的父子關(guān)系上的感情層面的關(guān)系,可以用好或者不好來形容
THE RELATION BETWEEN ME AND THIS MAN IS SON AND FATHER.表示一種客觀存在的聯(lián)系,就是父子聯(lián)系.就沒有好和不好的概念,因?yàn)樗强陀^存在的關(guān)系.
因此,RELATIONSHIP可以帶有感情的意思,比如用來指一段戀情.
