intellect vs. intelligence

基本上，這兩個字大家也不太去細分意思，所以字義就混用了。

都可當理解力、智力來解釋。不過要仔細分別的化話：

intellect是指 理解的能力 ，比方說分辨一個人的感覺、意願 --較偏理解, 分辨方面 。

intelligence 是智力，而理解力是智力其中一種表現方式 。常見的用語ex：

像是 Artificial Intelligence =AI

or Intelligence Test = 智力測驗

or Intelligence Quotient =IQ

另外intelligence的用法也較廣泛，還可以指情報，ex：

Central Intelligence Agency = CIA

字構：inter-lect 概念："在眾多選擇中挑出最適合的"-->理解力
