“第三部門”指的是經(jīng)濟(jì)體的慈善機(jī)構(gòu)和事業(yè)、宗教工作、志愿服務(wù)等領(lǐng)域。

Most people understand the role of governments and corporations in society and know the terms “public sector” and “private sector.” However, few people know anything about a third sector of society that is focused on meeting the needs of citizens in communities.

多數(shù)人都理解政府和企業(yè)在社會(huì)中的角色，也知道“公共部門”和“私人部門”。然而，很少有人知道社會(huì)的“第三部門”，第三部門關(guān)注于滿足社區(qū)中公民的需要。

This third sector is called the “civic sector” and includes nonprofit organizations, faith institutions, foundations, private schools, theaters, volunteer groups, sports leagues and any other group not operated by government or corporations that meets local needs.

第三部門也稱為“公民部門”，包括非盈利組織、信仰機(jī)構(gòu)、基金會(huì)、私立學(xué)校、劇院、志愿者團(tuán)體、體育聯(lián)盟，以及其他滿足地方需要而非政府或公司運(yùn)營(yíng)的機(jī)構(gòu)。
