apportionment vs allocation
「apportionment」強調按比例或公平地分配一個整體，常用於法律或政治領域（如議席分配）；「allocation」則泛指分配資源、時間或金錢，不必然涉及比例計算。
apportionment vs distribution
「apportionment」側重分配的方法或過程（尤其按比例）；「distribution」側重將物品分發給多方的結果或行動，範圍更廣。
apportionment vs proration
兩者都涉及按比例分配，但「proration」特指按時間比例計算（如費用、薪資），是「apportionment」的一種具體應用形式。
在對話中，當引述或轉述他人的觀點、法律條文或正式決定時，會用到這個詞。 EN: He kept quoting the Constitution, especially the part about the apportionment of representatives. 翻譯: 他不停引用憲法，特別是關於眾議員席位分配的那部分。
EN:As the manager explained, the apportionment of bonuses is based on performance, not seniority.

正式寫作注意：在口語中，apportionment 聽起來相當正式且具體。在非正式日常對話中，人們更常使用簡單的詞彙如 division、distribution、sharing out 或 splitting up。除非討論法律、政治、會計或非常正式的商業情境，否則在輕鬆交談中使用此詞可能會顯得生硬或過於學術。
