Qual è la differenza tra contain e include ?Sentiti libero di rispondere con un esempio.

Risposte

"to contain something" means that something is kept inside something else
"to include something" means that something is put inside something else
たとえば：
The bottle contains water / Water is contained in the bottle
Lunch includes rice / Rice is included in lunch

If you said "the bottle includes water" or "water is included in the bottle" then you would mean that other things were in there as well.

You cannot say "lunch contains rice" or "rice is contained in lunch".
You should say "the lunch box contains rice" or "rice is contained in the lunch box"
