Private and public sector 公共部门
- Private sector 私营部门: businesses owned by individuals, aiming mainly for profit.
- Public sector: organisations owned by the government (e.g. state schools, hospitals).
Don't confuse "public sector" with "public limited company". The public sector is government-owned. A public limited company is privately owned by shareholders 股东 — it just sells shares to the public.
私营部门与公共部门
- 私营部门(private sector):由个人拥有的企业,主要以利润为目标。
- 公共部门(public sector):由政府拥有的组织(例如公立学校、医院)。
不要把"公共部门"与"上市公司"混淆。 公共部门是政府拥有的。一家上市公司由股东私人拥有——它只是向公众出售股份。
