Compared meaning: a group of people sent somewhere (noun).

比较义项：代表团（名词）。

• mission

  Emphasizes the task or purpose the group is sent to carry out, often official, diplomatic or humanitarian; does not necessarily imply representing others' views.

  强调这群人被派去完成的任务或目的，常带有官方、外交或人道主义色彩；不一定意味着代表他人的意见。

  Their mission was to deliver food to the flooded village.

  他们的任务是把食物送到被水淹的村庄。

• delegation 本词

  Emphasizes that the group is chosen to represent a country, organization or people, especially at a meeting or negotiation, and is usually temporary.

  强调这群人是被选出来代表某个国家、组织或群体的，尤其是在会议或谈判场合，通常是临时性的。

  The delegation represented all the workers at the negotiation table.

  这个代表团在谈判桌上代表了所有工人。

Both words mean a group of people sent somewhere for a purpose. Mission stresses the task the group must complete, often official or humanitarian. Delegation stresses that the group represents a country, organization, or people, especially at a meeting or negotiation, and is usually temporary.

两者都指“为某个目的派出的一群人”，但 delegation 强调这群人是去代表某个国家、组织或群体的意见，尤其在会议或谈判场合；mission 更强调这群人被派去完成的具体任务，语气更正式，也常用于外交或人道主义行动。
