• plan

• program 本词

  A program is an organized, often official series of planned activities (e.g. an educational or training program), rarely used for a single simple intention.

  program 指有组织、通常是正式的一系列既定活动（如教育或培训计划），很少用来表示单一简单的个人打算。

  The university offers an exchange program for international students.

Plan and program both mean an idea for future action. Plan is a specific method for reaching a goal; it can be small or informal. Program is a set of organized, official activities, common in schools or government. Program's computer sense is not compared.

plan 和 program 在“计划”这个意思上很接近，但 plan 更强调为达成某个目标而想出的具体方法或个人打算，可大可小、可正式可非正式；program 更强调一系列有组织、通常较为正式的既定活动或项目，常见于机构、学校、政府等场合。这里不比较 program 的“计算机程序”这一常见义项。
