How it's used
While 段落 is the direct translation for a paragraph in a text, it is also frequently used metaphorically to describe a phase or a distinct stage in a person's life or a long-term project. It carries a sense of a self-contained section that marks a transition point. When discussing the structure of an essay or article, it is often shortened to just 段.
