这三个词都可用来使人想到人们之间或事物之间的关系 。
relationship用于人时,暗示有强烈的感情上的亲密关系:
her relationship with her husband她同丈夫的关系
而relationship和relation两者都可用于相互依存的事物:
the relationship/relation between temperature and humidity温度和湿度的关系
relations则可用于表示人们或团体之间较为正式或较为疏远的关系:
The local community has good relations with the police.
地方社区同警方有着良好的关系 。

relationship (between) 亲属关系

他们两人都叫史密斯,可是他们之间没有亲属关系 。
再回顾一下:
relative 仅“家人、亲戚、亲属”,如兄弟、表亲、祖父母等,用作cn可数名词;relation1)同义于relative,但relation to结构不可用relative代替;
2)可表“亲戚关系,亲属关系”,用作un不可数名词 。
如父子、师生——常使用单数形式的relation;
relations 本身可作为一个单词,表人、团体、种族、国家等之间的“关系,联系,交往”
该词具有正式、较为疏远的意味 。
friends and relations或relations and friends亲朋算是常见搭配 。
relationship指人与人间的关系与联系,密切、强烈的感情,常指两性间的亲密关系 。
如loving relationship, married relationship 。
l注意:
从血统或婚姻关系的远近来说,较近的亲戚用relation,较远的亲戚用relative 。
——这种说法是不准确的,如:
《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第八版第1733页relation词条3与relative词条
