好了废话不多说，我们开启今日学习：
今天我们学习的单词是：responsibility
【含义】：
responsibility=duty/obligation/liability（n.义务、责任）
【发音】：
英 [rɪˌspɒnsəˈbɪləti] 美 [rɪˌspɑːnsəˈbɪləti]
【英英释义】：
- the state or fact of being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one's power, control, or management.
- an instance of being responsible: The responsibility for this mess is yours!
- a particular burden of obligation upon one who is responsible: the responsibilities of authority.
- a person or thing for which one is responsible: A child is a responsibility to its parents.
- reliability or dependability, especially in meeting debts or payments.
【联想】：
responsibility=response+ability-ea
反应（response）能力（ability）强的人，要想有义务或责任（responsibility）去掉耶（ea）。
【注意】：
责任
- duty 意义较广，多指发自内心的道德伦理上的责任感。
- responsibility 着重指从道义或法律上对事件之后果负责。如：I took full responsibility for breaking the vase.(我承担打破花瓶的全部责任。)
义务
- obligation 指道义上或法律上对他人的义务，强调强制性。也指因作出承诺而被迫履行的某种义务。
- duty 指按道德和法律的标准，一个人永远要尽的义务，强调自觉性。
- function 指因职务或职业关系去履行某种职责。
- responsibility 指任何义务、职责、责任或职务上所尽的本分，强调对他人的责任。
【短语】：
- take social responsibility ——承担社会责任
- assume responsibility for sth.——承担责任
- throw responsibility on him——把责任推给他
【造句】：
We expect the upper-level people（上层人士） in the organization to take on more social responsibility independently, rather than throwing some accident responsibilities on the grass-roots employees（基层员工）.
我们期待机构内上层人士能更多地独立承担责任，而不是把一些事故责任推到基层员工身上。
