source vs resource

網站Differencebetween.com 顧名思義就是在比較兩者(或兩者以上)間的不同，並提供了很詳盡的解說。以下是該網站對"source"和"resource"兩個單字的比較。

Sources vs Resources
 

Source and resource are two different words with totally different meanings. Source is a place or a thing that provides us what we are looking for. We go to school to obtain knowledge and to a college to obtain a degree. In this sense, these are sources of knowledge and degree for us. A well is a source of fresh underground water for us while the sun is a source of constant energy. There is another word resource that means something valuable for us and something that we consume to serve a function. This article attempts to differentiate between source and resource, to make readers use the right word in the right context.

         (直譯:"source"和"resource"是截然不同的兩個字。"source"是提供我們一個我們在探尋的一個地方或物。 我們上學獲取知識，上大學獲取學位。就這個道理來看，這些對我們來說是知識和學位的"source"。井對我們而言是清淨的地下水的一個"source"，而太陽則是持續的能量的"source"。另一個字"resource"則是指某個對我們有價值的東西和某個我們用來消耗以供應運作的東西。此文章試分別"source"和"resource"，讓讀者們在對的上下文裡用對的字。)
