- 1代表團（一小群人代表大家去見當權者；偏正式、偏英式）
A deputation is a small group sent to speak for a larger group, usually to someone in power — a mayor, a boss, a minister. The whole crowd cannot walk in, so they send a few people to talk for them. It is a rather old, formal, British-sounding word. Though actually, most people now just say “a group of representatives” or “a delegation.” You still meet it in news about unions, towns, and official visits.
