Incorporate and integrate both mean bringing something into a whole. Incorporate means formally adding a new part, like a rule or ingredient. Integrate means making separate parts work together smoothly, as people joining a group. Company and segregation senses are not compared here.

这两个词都表示把某物纳入一个整体,但incorporate侧重把新内容正式加入已有整体(如公司增加规定、食谱增加原料),程度较轻,新加入的部分未必真正融合;integrate强调让各个独立部分融合、协调运作成一个整体,常用于人融入群体或系统彼此配合。这里不比较incorporate“组建为法人公司”的意思,也不比较integrate“取消种族隔离,实现种族融合”的意思。
