franchise

Compared meaning: authorization to sell a company's products (noun).

比较义项：授权经销/特许经营权（获得许可销售某公司产品或服务）（名词）。

• franchise 本词

  Refers to authorization to run a business under a company's brand and system, often covering a whole store or restaurant chain, not just product sales.

  指获得授权，按照某公司的品牌和经营模式开设店铺，通常涵盖整个连锁店或餐厅的经营，而不仅仅是产品销售。

  She invested her savings to open a franchise of a popular sandwich chain.

  她投入积蓄，开了一家知名三明治连锁店的加盟店。

• dealership

  Refers specifically to the right to sell a company's products, especially cars, in a certain area, and often names the sales business itself.

  特指在某地区销售某公司产品（尤指汽车）的权利，也常直接指代这家经销店本身。

  The dealership offered a discount if we traded in our old car.

  如果我们以旧车折价，这家经销店可以提供折扣。

Both words mean authorization to sell a company's products, but differ. Franchise means authorization to run a business under a company's brand, often a whole store or restaurant chain. Dealership means the right to sell a company's products, especially cars, in one area.

这两个词都指“获得官方授权，销售某公司的产品或服务”，但 franchise 强调整套经营模式和品牌的授权（连锁店、快餐店等），而 dealership 特指在某个地区独家销售某公司产品（尤指汽车）的经销权。franchise 还有“特许权、公民权”等这里不比较的意思，dealership 则没有其他常用义项。
