用法How to use 部分
部分 means a part or portion of a whole. It appears in 一部分 (a part), 大部分 (most), or directly before a noun meaning "some": 部分学生. It can also follow a noun with 的: 书的一部分. Note that 大部分 is commonly followed by 都 (大部分学生都来了), whereas plain 部分 refers to only some of a group and is not normally paired with 都 in the predicate.
