Cooperation、Collaboration與Coordination的區別

作者：凱魯嘎吉 - 博客園 http://www.cnblogs.com/kailugaji/

1. Cooperation

1.1 同根詞

v.  cooperate

n.  cooperation

adj.  cooperative

1.2 詞義解釋

Cooperation is simply splitting up the work and getting it done. To work or act together toward a common end or purpose. Cooperation is important in networks where individuals exchange relevant information and resources in support of each other’s goals, rather than a shared goal. Something new may be achieved as a result, but it arises from the individual, not from a collective team effort.

Cooperation 的意思有“合作、協作”， 通力協作但是各有分工，大家各取所需，解決某些問題，另外它還有“配合、協助”的意思，指“一方與其它方相互配合完成任務”，表示的意思定義較為廣泛，而且傳達純粹的“共同努力”的概念，重點在于共同努力本身的程序，通常在英文語境中Cooperation 給人“長期合作”的印象，

1.3 例句

The leaders met to discuss future cooperation between the two countries.

領匯入會晤討論兩國未來的合作，這里用 cooperation 來體現兩國可以在眾多領域“相互配合”，通過合作對各自的國家都有利，

我們與美國合作伙伴聯合生產手機零件，這里 cooperation 指“長期的合作”，我們公司與美國合作伙伴各自有明確的責任，相互配合完成生產任務，

裁判沒有與編輯合作，

Japan and France cooperate on improving safety of nuclear power stations.

日本和法國在改善核電站安全方面進行合作，（這里，雙方將從合作中受益，但都是為了各自的利益，）

以下幾個例句中，只能用 cooperation，指“配合、協助”，比如:

Thank you for your cooperation!

感謝您的配合，這是一個固定表達，經常出現在公共告示上，

We ask for your full cooperation during the investigation.

我們要求你完全配合我們的調查，

以上我們可以感覺 cooperation 所表述的合作是“單純的合作，配合對方”，沒有 collaboration 所表達的“不分彼此的合作”的意思，

2. Collaboration

2.1 同根詞

v.  collaborate

n.  collaboration

adj.  collaborative

2.2 詞義解釋

Collaboration is when you brainstorm, create, and share possible solutions. To work together, especially in a joint intellectual effort. Collaboration is working together to create something new in support of a shared vision. The key points are that it is not through individual effort, something new is created, and that the glue is the shared vision.

Collaboration 的意思是“合作、協作”，指“兩個或更多的人或團隊一起合作，共同創造或實作同一個目標”，為了一個共同目標而努力奮斗，不分彼此，通常情況下是不可數名詞，當它指具體專案時就是可數名詞了，Collaboration 通常給人有“積極、主動參與”的印象，表達的概念更為精準，具體而言，Collaboration不僅是純粹的“共同努力”，其表達了“通過共同努力達到特定結果”的概念，強調這個程序希望達到的成果，通常在英文語境中Collaboration 給人感覺是針對一個“有時限的專案”，

2.3 例句

We can work in collaboration to make this conference a success.

我們可以一起合作，使這次會議取得成功，這里 collaboration 是不可數名詞，

USA and Russia collaborated to build the International Space Station.

美國和俄羅斯合作建造了國際空間站，（這里，最終目標是所有相關方的共同目標，）

在以上幾個例句中我們都能感受到合作方之間那種“不分彼此，積極、主動合作或參與”的感覺，

3. Coordination

3.1 同根詞

v.  coordinate

n.  coordination

adj.  coordinative

3.2 詞義解釋

Coordination is sharing information and resources so that each party can accomplish their part in support of a mutual objective. It is about teamwork in implementation. Not creating something new. Work together harmoniously. The regulation of diverse elements into an integrated and harmonious operation.

3.3 例句
