e.g. Accountability is the quality or state of being accountable, that is, being required or expected to justify actions and decisions. It suggests an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one’s actions.
【譯】負責意即負責的特質或狀態(tài),也就是被要求或期望就相關行為或決策來證明其適當性。它意味著為某人的行為接受相應責任的義務或意愿。
80-1 responsibility* [r??sp?ns?'b?l?t?] n. 責任
e.g. The detailed requirements regarding management’s responsibility to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and related financial statement disclosures may also be set out in law or regulation.
【譯】相關法律法規(guī)還可能對管理層評估持續(xù)經營能力的責任和相關財務報表披露作出具體規(guī)定。
【辨析】這兩個詞有時都翻譯為“責任”,但這種翻譯是不準確的。accountability準確的翻譯應為“負責”。比如說,諸葛亮派馬謖鎮(zhèn)守街亭,那么守住街亭就是馬謖的responsibility,街亭失守,諸葛亮揮淚斬馬謖,則是馬謖對其失職負責(accountability)。
