2. /sector of society/constituency/

TP ~ 至於負責特首選舉的「選舉委員會」,800席委員分別代表香港社會的38種「界別」,

功能界別(英語:Functional constituency),...

3. The verb sense is in LA, for example.
Diff:
- 界別 界别 [jie4 bie2] /kingdom (taxonomy)/
+ 界別 界别 [jie4 bie2] /to divide up into different zones/(HK) sector of society/constituency/(taxonomy) kingdom/
