Charity refers both to organisations that collect money and provide assistance to those in need, and to the generous act of helping others. In British English, it's common to 'give to charity' or 'do something for charity.' The word also describes a kind, forgiving attitude towards others.

「charity」既指收集资金并为有需要的人提供帮助的组织，也指帮助他人的慷慨行为。在英式英语中，常说'give to charity'（捐给慈善机构）或'do something for charity'（为慈善做某事）。这个词也形容对他人宽容仁慈的态度。

«Charity» se refiere tanto a organizaciones que recaudan dinero y proporcionan asistencia a los necesitados, como al acto generoso de ayudar a otros. En inglés británico, es común «give to charity» (donar a la caridad) o «do something for charity» (hacer algo por caridad). La palabra también describe una actitud amable y compasiva hacia los demás.

「charity」は、資金を集めて困っている人々に援助を提供する組織と、他者を助ける寛大な行為の両方を指します。イギリス英語では「give to charity」（慈善団体に寄付する）や「do something for charity」（慈善のために何かをする）という表現がよく使われます。この言葉は、他者に対する親切で寛容な態度も表します。

'charity'는 모금을 하고 도움이 필요한 사람들에게 지원을 제공하는 단체와, 타인을 돕는 관대한 행위 모두를 가리킵니다. 영국 영어에서는 'give to charity'(자선 단체에 기부하다)나 'do something for charity'(자선을 위해 무언가를 하다)라는 표현이 흔히 쓰입니다. 이 단어는 타인에 대한 친절하고 관대한 태도를 뜻하기도 합니다.
