one of Britain's largest and best-known charities that helps people in poor countries. It was set up in 1942 (as the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief) to send food to people in Greece. It now works mainly in developing countries, sending help when there is an emergency, and working with governments on projects to help poor people. Oxfam runs Oxfam shops in most British towns and cities, where new and second-hand clothes, books, etc. are sold to raise money for the charity.乐施会：英国最大，最知名的慈善机构之一，为贫困国家的人们提供帮助。它成立于1942年（当时是牛津饥荒救济委员会），旨在向希腊人民运送食物。现在，它主要在发展中国家运作，在紧急情况下向其提供帮助，并与政府合作开展旨在帮助穷人的项目。乐施会在英国大多数城镇经营乐施会商店，那里出售新旧衣服，书籍等，以为慈善事业筹集资金。
