Outreach is the work of taking help, advice, or services to people who would not easily walk in and ask — because they are far away, poor, shy, without a home, or simply never told the service exists. Social workers, churches, health clinics, and universities all run outreach.

outreach是 the work of taking help, advice, or services to people把幫助、建議或服務主動送到那些 who would not easily walk in and ask不會輕易自己走進來求助的人身邊——because they are far away, poor, shy, without a home, or simply never told the service exists因為他們住得遠、貧窮、害羞、沒有家，或者根本不知道有這個服務。social workers, churches, health clinics, and universities all run outreach社工、教會、健康診所和大學都會做外展工作。

The usual form now is the noun: community outreach, an outreach programme. There is an older verb, to outreach, meaning to reach farther than someone, and some organisations use outreach as a verb (“we outreach to schools”), though many careful speakers would rather say reach out to.

the usual form now現在常見的形式 is the noun是名詞用法：community outreach社區外展、an outreach programme外展方案。there is an older verb還有一個較舊的動詞，to outreach意思是 meaning to reach farther than someone比某人伸得更遠，and some organisations use outreach as a verb有些機構會把 outreach 當動詞用（“we outreach to schools”「我們對學校做外展」），though many careful speakers would rather say reach out to不過很多講究用字的人會比較想用 reach out to。

Though actually, the kind meaning is the same either way: you go to them, instead of waiting behind a desk. In Taiwan’s social-work world this is everyday language, not fancy English.

though actually不過事實上，the kind meaning is the same either way不管哪種用法，那份體貼的心意是一樣的：you go to them都是你主動去找他們，instead of waiting behind a desk而不是坐在櫃檯後面等。in Taiwan’s social-work world在台灣的社工界 this is everyday language這是日常用語，not fancy English不是什麼花俏的英文。
