小知识
An agency usually provides a service, like an aid organization or a government bureau. If you're looking for a job, an employment agency might be able to help.
The Latin word agere means “to do or manage,” and it's a fitting ancestor for agency, a word that means an institution that manages or specializes in something. As a secret agent, you might work for the CIA, or Central Intelligence Agency. I hope you look good in black. The noun agency also refers to the power or ability to do something, as in the William McKinley quote, “War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed.”
