Both are used in the names of particular agreements, often using the name of the place in which they were signed. * treaty和accord均指国家间的正式协定、条约,例如冲突之后恢复和平,或者贸易、军事或经济合作方面的。两个词均用于具体协定名称,常以签署地命名◆the Treaty of Rome《罗马条约》◆the Algiers Accord《阿尔及尔协定》An accord can also be an official agreement between organizations, such as between a government and a trade union. A convention is an international agreement between several countries. It usually contains rules about a particular activity, for example the sale of weapons, the treatment of refugees or controlling pollution. Conventions usually try to control a problem which affects many countries, and by signing the convention a country agrees to apply the rules or standards within it. * accord亦可指组织之间签署的正式协议,如政府和工会之间。convention是若干国家签署的国际协定,内容通常比较具体,例如武器销售、难民安置或污染控制等。convention通常是为了控制影响多国的问题,通过签署协定,一国同意遵守其条例或标准。
