综合分析：

【Type】 may suggest strong, clearly marked, or obvious similarities throughout the items included so that the distinctiveness of the group that they form cannot be overlooked. 可能表明所含项目之间存在强烈、清晰显示或明显的相似性，因此它们所形成的一个种类具有不容忽视的独特性。一般用于表示产品的分类和型号，如:Type 2 rocket (二型火箭），不会写成：Sort 2 rocket 或 kind2 rocket;

【Kind】 in most uses is likely to be very indefinite and involve any criterion of classification whatever, but it may suggest criteria of grouping dependent natural, intrinsic characteristics.在大多数情况下用于指非常不确定的类别，可以涉及任何分类标准，但也可指根据自然、内在特征进行分类的标准。Various kinds of butterflies.

【Sort】  is often a close synonym of  【kind】  and may be used in situations having a suggestion of disparagement.

通常是【kind】的同义词，有暗示轻蔑的味道。He is not the sort of man you shall trust.

【Type】  ,  【kind】  , and  【sort】  are usually interchangeable and are used most of the time without attention to special connotations.

三者通常可互换，大多数情况下都会交叉使用，而不会在意其特殊含义。
