take side 与 take a side 有什么区别呢?

解答:

只有take sides(with) 和take the side of (or: take someone's side)。

take sides (with) 是“和...站在一边;偏向一边”的意思。例如:
Mother took sides with David against Father in the dispute.
Switzerland refused to take sides in the two World Wars.

take the side of (or: take someone's side)是“站在...一边”。例如:
She will take the side of Tom, of course. She always favours him.
She'll take Tom's side, of course. She always favours him.
