person与people的区别

person可以指man, woman 和child， 其复数形式常是people, 用persons 则强调数量的概念， 比较正式，“一个人”应该说：“a person , 一能说：“a people, 两个人则可以说“two persons或“ two people； people泛指人们， the people指人民或确指的“人们”， a people和 peoples指民族， 种族；

people是个集合名词
person算是个可数名词, person的复数形式, 可以是people也可是persons, 只是persons要正式一些

我喜欢给出英文解释，这样不失其原味：
以下就是区别：
person:a human being; "there was too much for one person to do"

People:(plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively; "old people"; "there were at least 200 people in the audience"

person是指个别的人, 而people却可以代表很多人

person单指 人
people 指 人民
