用法筆記
Frequently used in formal or administrative contexts to describe one's institutional connection. Common in the set phrases 'political affiliation', 'religious affiliation', and 'party affiliation'. Unlike 'membership', which usually implies paying dues or being formally enrolled, 'affiliation' can describe a looser form of connection such as supporting a party's values without being a card-carrying member.
