administration

Compared meaning: the government of a country (noun).

比较义项：一国的政府（名词）。

• administration 本词

  Especially in American English, refers to the executive team in power under one president, often named after that leader; emphasizes the current leadership rather than the state apparatus as a whole.

  尤指在美式英语中，指某位总统当政期间的行政管理团队，常以该总统的名字命名；强调的是当届领导层，而非国家长期存在的政府机构本身。

  The previous president's administration left office amid several scandals.

  上一任总统的行政团队在多起丑闻缠身之际离任。

• government

  The general, neutral term for the body of people who run a country under any political system; unlike administration, it naturally pairs with verbs like fall, form or resign.

  泛指管理一个国家的团体，是更通用、更中性的说法，适用于任何政治体制；与 administration 不同，它可以自然地搭配“垮台、组阁、辞职”等说法。

  The government collapsed after losing a vote of no confidence in parliament.

  政府在议会不信任投票失利后垮台。

Administration and government both can mean a country's government. Administration, especially in American English, means the executive team under one president. Government is the general, neutral word for any governing body under any system. Administration can also mean 'management'; not compared here.

这两个词都表示统治一个国家的政府机构，很多语境下可以互换，但侧重不同：administration 常指某位总统（尤其在美国）当政期间的行政团队，随领导人更替而更替；government 是更通用、更中性的说法，可用于任何政治体制，还能搭配“政府垮台、组阁、辞职”等说法。administration 另有“行政管理，事务处理”义项（如公司行政、药物的给药），这里不作比较。

Compared meaning: a body of people that manages something (noun).

比较义项：由人组成的机构或管理团体（名词）。

• organization

  Refers broadly to any group of people organized for a shared purpose (a company, charity, club); names the whole body providing a service, not just its leaders.

  泛指为共同目的组织起来的任何团体（公司、慈善机构、俱乐部等），指提供服务的整个机构本身，而不仅仅是其领导层。

  The organization relies on volunteers to deliver food to elderly residents.

  这个机构依靠志愿者为老年居民配送食物。

• administration 本词

  Refers specifically to the group of people who govern a country or manage an organization; commonly used for a national government's leadership.

  特指治理一个国家或管理某机构的那群人，常用于指一届国家政府的领导层。

  The president's administration announced a new plan to cut unemployment.

  总统的政府宣布了一项旨在降低失业率的新计划。

Organization and administration can both mean a group of people. Organization refers broadly to any group organized for a shared purpose, such as a company or charity. Administration refers specifically to the people who govern a country or manage an organization.

这两个词都指由人组成的团体或管理层，容易混淆：organization 泛指为某个目的而组织起来的团体或机构本身，比如公司、慈善机构或俱乐部；administration 特指治理国家或管理某机构的领导层或管理层，常用于政府语境。这里不比较 organization 表示组织性、结构的含义，也不比较 administration 表示管理、实施某事这一动作含义。
