community, society
这两个词共同的意思是“社会”,在作有共同职业、爱好的“团体”“社团”解时,两词可互换使用。例如:
The medical workers formed a society〔community〕.医务工作者成立了一个团体。
两者区别在于：
1.society意为“社会”“社会阶层”,是普通用语,语义范围比community广泛,泛指全人类的社会,普遍的社会各阶层,侧重人文概念。
2.community指由同住一地区或同一国的人所构成的“社区”“社会”,侧重地理概念。例如:
Our community has its own library.我们的社区有自己的图书馆。
This is the only shop in the village community.这是本社区唯一的商店。
