relation和relationship的区别

问题描述

relationship 和 relation 都表示“关系”，有什么区别呢？请老师帮我举几个例子具体说明，谢谢。

老师答疑

张老师：

1. 有时候区别很小，常可互换。如：

the relation [relationship] between cause and effect 因果关系

the relation [relationship] between wages and prices 工资与价格的关系

What's the relation / relationship between Tom and LInda? 他们俩人是何关系？

2. 有时候区别很明显：relation 亲戚 / relationship 亲属关系
