Hi my name is Rebecca and in today's lesson of business English we are going to differentiate between two words 'collaborate' and 'cooperate' okay?
大家好，我是Rebecca，在今天商务英语课堂上我们将学习如何区分‘collaborate’和‘cooperate’这两个‘合作’。
I'll say them again for you 'collaborate' and 'cooperate'. Now these are quite close but at the same time, they are different.
再听一遍它们的发音，‘collaborate’和‘cooperate’。这两个单词意思非常相近，但同时它们也完全不同。
So let's understand the difference what does it mean to collaborate on something. 'To collaborate' means to work together to produce or achieve something, right?
首先让我们来看看‘collaborate’这个单词。‘To collaborate’表示合作制造或完成某事。
It could be two individuals that collaborate to achieve something, it could be two corporations that collaborate on a particular project.
可以是两个人合作完成某事，也可以是两家公司在某个项目上合作。
So 'to collaborate' just describes the official structure of that situation, right?
因此，‘to collaborate’描述的是那种情况的正式结构。
They collaborated on that project, they collaborated on that assignment, that means they simply worked together, alright?
他们在那个项目上合作，他们在这个任务上合作，这些都指的是他们仅仅是在合作而已，明白了么？
Let's compare that to the other one which is cooperate, alright? I see that we have a little bit of disturbance from outside, it's gone, so let's continue.
与‘cooperate’相比较。我看见外边有些干扰，已经没事了，所以我们继续。
'Cooperate' refers to when you help someone in doing something, all right?
‘Cooperate’指的是你在某事上帮助某人。
Not just that you're working together but that while you're working together you're actually helping each other.
这不仅仅是你们在合作而是当你们合作时，你们真的是在互相帮助。
As we all know sometimes human beings collaborate but they don't cooperate, right? and other times they do cooperate.
我们都知道有时人们会合作但是并不会相互协助，对么？而有时候他们也互助。
So 'to cooperate' means to work willingly together to help each other as you collaborate, as you work together. To help someone in doing something is to cooperate, alright?
因此‘to cooperate’意味着你们乐意合作并相互帮助。帮助某人做某事就是‘to cooperate’，明白了么？
So you could collaborate on a project but if you cooperate then you will complete the project much faster, right?
因此，你们可以是在某个项目上合作，但是如果你们相互协助，那么你将帮助更快的完成这个项目，明白了么？
You could collaborate on an assignment but if you cooperate, then everyone benefits, right?
你们可以在某个任务中合作，但是如果你们相互协助，那么每个人都将受益。
Let's look at some other forms of these two words. The adjective of collaborate is collaborative, it was a collaborative effort.
让我们看看这两个单词的其他形式。‘Collaborate’的形容词形式是‘collaborative’，这是一次共同的努力。
The adjective of cooperate is cooperative, he has a very cooperative attitude, right?
‘Cooperate’的形容词形式是‘cooperative’，他有一种非常合作的态度。
The noun of collaborate is collaboration, can you say that after me collaboration? good.
‘Collaborate’的名词形式是‘collaboration’，你可以跟我一起读。好的。
The noun of cooperate is cooperation, repeat, cooperation, right?
‘Cooperate’的名词形式是‘cooperation’，再读一遍。
All right so I hope I've been able to differentiate between these two words so that you can use them more successfully and effectively, alright?
好了，我希望我已经将两个‘合作’之间的区别讲清楚了，而你们也已经可以正确有效地使用这两个‘合作’了。
