再对比一下
The parcel includes a dictionary. 那包裹里也包括了一本字典(或许还有计算器、笔记本、文具盒)。
The parcel contains a dictionary. 那包裹里装的是一本字典(只有一本字典,没有其它东西了)。

1,【contain】指某物容纳在比它范围更大的东西之内,侧重所含的量与成分。
2,【include】侧重于对比整体与部分,指某整体包含或容纳某部分,常用于解释或补充说明。

不好意思,不是【那包裹】,而是【这个包裹】。

include:
1, 包括:The price includes postal charges.(价格里包括邮费在内)
2, 加在...里(上):I included eggs on the list of things to buy.(我在购物列表里加上了鸡蛋)
