organization

organization 指把事物安排得有条理，也指为共同目标而组织起来的团体；在棒球语境中还可指一支球队及其所属的各级球队体系。

💡 记忆钩子

把零散的人或事物排成一个有结构的整体：这种“排整齐、成体系”首先是有条理的状态或安排方式，也可以进一步变成按规则合作的团体；在棒球里，这个团体概念延伸为一支大联盟球队连同其下属球队的完整体系。

📝 学习建议

先掌握不可数的“条理、组织方式”和可数的“组织、团体”两条主线，再记棒球中的特殊用法。
不要把 organization 只理解为“组织机构”；在描述文章、活动或信息的安排时，它常表示“组织性、结构、编排”。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 条理；组织性

📖 指事物被安排得有条理、结构清楚的状态。它强调零散内容被排成一个容易理解或运作的整体。

💡 常用“有多少组织性”或“缺少组织性”这类结构，通常不可数。它多用于谈文章、活动、工作或画面的安排，不要在这里加不定冠词来表示“一种组织”。

uncountable

The meeting lacked organization and quickly became confusing.

这次会议缺乏条理，很快就变得混乱了。

Good organization makes a busy week much easier.

良好的安排能让忙碌的一周轻松得多。
core 编排；结构

📖 指一本书、文章、计划或其他内容具体是怎样安排和分成各部分的，也就是它的结构和编排方式。

💡 常用“某内容的 organization”或“the organization of + 名词”来说明结构。这里通常不可数，不能因为中文里说“一个组织”就把它理解成团体；谈章节、段落和顺序时尤其常见。

uncountable

The organization of the report makes the main points easy to find.

这份报告的结构让人很容易找到重点。
core 正式组织；机构

📖 指一群人为明确目标而成立，并通常有名称、规则和一定正式结构的团体，例如公益组织、国际机构或行业组织。

💡 常用“a/an organization”“join an organization”“an organization that + 从句”等结构，通常是可数名词。说某个具体机构时要使用冠词或其他限定词；不要把它误当成不可数的“组织活动”。

countable

She works for an organization that supports local schools.

她在一个支持当地学校的组织工作。

The organization has strict rules for its members.

这个组织对其成员有严格的规定。
common 合作团体

📖 指一群有意识地合作的人，即使它最初没有正式名称或完整规章，后来也可能逐渐形成一个组织。

💡 常用“form an organization”“become an organization”或“a group of people”搭配，强调合作关系逐渐成形。它比正式机构的用法更关注“人们联合起来做事”的过程，但语法上仍通常是可数名词。

countable

The volunteers formed an organization to clean up the river.

这些志愿者组成了一个组织来清理这条河。
rare 球队体系

📖 在棒球语境中，指一支大联盟球队以及它所属的各级下属球队，仍可把它理解为围绕共同球队体系组织起来的团体。

💡 常见于“be in the [球队名] organization”或“join the organization”等棒球表达，既可指整个体系，也可指其中的管理和球员网络。这个意思主要限于体育报道和棒球讨论，普通语境中不要据此理解为一般公司或社团。

Borrowed from Middle French organisation, from Medieval Latin organizātiō; by surface analysis, organize + -ation.
