在法律语境中，right与privilege这两个名词均含“权利”之意。

Right，英文释义为：a moral or legal claim to have or get sth or to behave in a particular way 指的是表示某人或某物拥有符合【法律、道义或道德】的权利。Privilege，英文释义为：A privilege is generally an entitlement to be immune from having to do something. 指特许或恩施的权利或可以免除做某事的义务，也指一般人或物所没有的有利条件。整体而言，right所包含的范围会更大一点，Privilege本身也是right的一种。

可从以下参考例句中感受二者的区别。
