Exclusion and expulsion both mean being kept out of a group; both sound formal. Exclusion means not being allowed to join or take part, even if the person was never a member. Expulsion means forcibly removing someone who was already a member, usually as punishment.

这两个词都表示“被排除在某个群体或场所之外”，语气都比较正式；但 exclusion 强调“不被允许加入或参与”，未必意味着此人曾是成员，也未必带惩罚色彩；expulsion 强调“把已在其中的成员强行赶出去”，通常带有因违反规定而受罚的意味。
