“行政职能”常见的英文表达是 administrative functions 或 administrative roles and responsibilities(后者更强调职责方面)。
administrative functions:这是较为简洁和常用的表达, “administrative” 意为“行政的;管理的” ,“functions” 表示“功能;职能” ,整体就是指行政方面所承担的职能。例如:The administrative functions of the government include policy-making, regulation, and public service delivery.(政府的行政职能包括政策制定、监管和公共服务提供。)
administrative roles and responsibilities:这个表达更侧重于行政方面所扮演的角色和承担的责任, “roles” 是“角色” ,“responsibilities” 是“责任”。例如:We need to clearly define the administrative roles and responsibilities within our organization.(我们需要明确组织内部的行政角色和职责。)
