divorce
1.divorce是“离婚”，不可指“解除婚约”。
2.divorce通常是及物动词，如可以说He has divorced her和They were divorced last year。不该说He has divorced和They divorced last year。
3.He has divorced her是男的主动，She has divorced him是女的主动。但He has been divorced和She has been divorced只说“他已经离婚”和“她已经离婚”，并不一定是“被动”的。注意下面各句：
- He has divorced her.
- He has been divorced by her.
- He has been divorced from her.
- He has been divorced.
第一句说男的主动。第二句说女的主动。第三句和第四句并不说谁是主动。divorced man和divorced woman是“离了婚的男子”和“离了婚的女子”，并没有被动的意思。“离了婚的人”（不分男女）是divorcee。
4.divorce是抽象名词，也是类名词She is seeking for (a) divorce里的a可有可无。
