請問Contain同Include 的分別

contain 一般可以解作「包含/盛載著」 , 偏向指實質的物件.　
[1] 盛載著(某些物件/物料)

e.g. The thieves stole a purse containing banknotes. 賊人所偷走的錢包內載有紙幣.
[2] 信件, 文件, 刊物, 書籍包含(某些內容)

e.g. If the letter contains confidential information such as your credit card or social security numbers, be sure to seal it securely on four sides. 如果信件包機密資料, 就必需小心封口.

可見兩字當用作指資料性的物件,　用法沒有分別.

Include=包括, contain=在...之內, 裝著.

例如:

我的運動計畫包括一個星期跑3哩.

This glass contains water.
那個杯子裝著水.
