Question

gender n.性；性别 (1) 德语中有三性。(2) 男性和女性是平等的。(3) 是性别歧视还是女生天生就是擅长于写作呢?(4) 在涉及表亲的时候,英语母语的人更容易混淆性别。 If you've learned French, Spanish, or Latin, you know these languages assign genders to nouns, such as masculine, feminine, or neuter. Besides this grammatical use, gender may seem interchangeable with the word sex, as they both mean "the state of being male or female." However, gender is usually used in reference to social differences. Sex on the other hand, is used in reference to biological differences. So if you're talking about how many females from 12 to 18 love vampire movies, then you're talking about gender. But if you're checking the M or F box on a health form, you're talking about sex, so to speak.
