其實從中文的解釋,我們是很難分別這兩個字的不同,但若你看respectively英文的解釋,就會容易得多
牛津字典就給respectively有以下的解釋:separately or in turn, in the order mentioned.
從這個意思,你會看出respectively實有separately的意思,但我們用respectively的時候,常帶著in the order mentioned(照前述次序)的意思,如:
German and Italian courses are held in Munich and Rome respectively.(德語和意大利語的課程分別設於慕尼黑和羅馬)
因respectively有(照前述的次序)之意,所以,從句子中,我們就可知德語課程設於慕尼黑,而意大利語的課程設於羅馬
又如yahoo字典一例:
The salesclerks and the teachers got pay rises of 6% and 9% respectively.
店員和教師的工資分別增加百分之六和百分之九。

我們就知salesclerks加6%,而教師加9%

這樣解釋,希望你明白!
