third sector 第三部門

Third sector1 refers to the part of the economy that includes charity and religious work, philanthropy, and volunteerism.

第三部門指的是經(jīng)濟(jì)體的慈善機(jī)構(gòu)和事業(yè)、宗教工作、志愿服務(wù)等范圍。

Most people understand the role of governments and corporations2 in society and know the terms public sector and private sector. However, few people know anything about a third sector of society that is focused on meeting the needs of citizens in communities.

多數(shù)人都理解政府和企業(yè)在社會(huì)中的角色，也了解公共部門和私人部門。然而，極少有人了解社會(huì)的第三部門，第三部門關(guān)注于滿足社區(qū)中公民的需要。
