comprise和include的差別

On the differences between comprise and include, see include (usage). 











(Oxford Dictionaries - Dictionary, Thesaurus, & Grammar)

Usage

Include has a broader meaning than comprise. In the sentence the accommodation comprises 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and living room, the word comprise implies that there is no accommodation other than that listed. Include can be used in this way too, but it is also used in a non-restrictive way, implying that there may be other things not specifically mentioned that are part of the same category, as in the price includes a special welcome pack.
