我想请问专家: part of 短语有时加 a, 有时却没有,怎么区别?谢谢您!

part of与a part of同义。
如: This book like (a) part of the broken cup.
This is only (a) part of it; where’s the rest?

但是，part of比a part of通常更为多用，而且a part of有“一小部分”的含义。
再如： Falling over is part of learning how to ski.
Only (a) part of his story is true.
There is but one china and Taiwan is part of chaia.

应该注意的是，在使用(a) part of …时，of之后的名词若是单数，通常谓语也就视为单数，同样，of之后的名词若是复数，通常谓语也视为复数。
如：This piece of glass seems to be (a) part of a lamp.
Part of the passengers were injured in the accident.
