最近上论坛，我开始怀疑是不是英文学错了。重新查词典学习了一些。Affiliate 作为动词是直接参与，加入的意思。不是关联的意思。 Webster： Definition of affiliate (Entry 1 of 2) transitive verb 1a : to bring or receive into close connection as a member or branch The medical school is affiliated with a hospital. b : to associate as a member affiliates herself with the local club 2 : to trace the origin of affiliated Shakespeare's "Hamlet" to earlier plays intransitive verb: to connect or associate oneself : combine refused to affiliate with any political party Oxford: · [transitive, usually passive] to link a group, a company or an organization very closely with another, larger one be affiliated with somebody/something The hospital is affiliated with the local university. be affiliated to somebody/something The group is not affiliated to any political party. · [transitive, intransitive] affiliate (yourself) (with somebody/something) to join, to be connected with, or to work for an organization The majority of people questioned affiliated themselves with a religious group. 所以有人问你是否affiliate with some institutions, 就是问你是否加入过，不是问你是否有connection。
不是wish 不wish 的问题，关键是一般人要明白这个词的意思，才能回答yes or no。
这没有up to interpratation，这个词很准确。
