respectively和separately的区别只有2个:
1、区别关系不同
表示后一组事物与前一组事物一一对应时,“分别”译为respectively。
例句:Their sons, Ben and Jonathan, were three and six respectively
他们的儿子,本和乔纳森,分别是3岁和6岁。
表示“分开”(而非混在一起)时,“分别”可译成separately。
例句:Sugar and water were added separately into the sample tubes.
把糖和水分别加到试样管里。
2、用法不同
respectively有一种用法是放在句子最后,格式为“……,respectively。
例句:Serum levels of A and B were a and b, respectively.
A和B这两个参数的值分别是a和b。
separately作为副词可用于句中任何位置且前不需要加逗号。
例句:Cook each vegetable separately until just tender
每样蔬菜都单独烹调,煮到稍稍变软就好。

其他表示分别的单词:
1、表示“各自”、“单独”时,“分别”可译为independently。
例句:This paper was assessed independently by two reviewers.
这篇论文分别由两位审稿人进行审稿。
2、 “分别”有时可用each来表示。
例句:Six rats each were sacrificed at 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 d after operation.
分别于术后第3、5、7、14、21天各取6只大鼠处死。
3、表示多种情况存在时,“分别”可用or来表示。
例句:Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (15 days of gestation) were treated with RU486 or LPS to induce preterm birth.
孕15天SD大鼠分别应用RU486和LPS诱导早产。
