请问responsibility和accountability在意思上有什么区别啊？

responsibility n. 责任，职责；义务
accountability n. 可说明性；有义务；有责任；可说明性
responsibility 单纯表达义务和责任的意思。而accountability 则侧重于表达责任性的意思。在句子中有时可以互换，有时不能互换。见例句：

He could not retreat from his responsibility in this accident. 在这次事故中他不能逃避他应负的责任。（此句不能换为accountability ）
The principle of accountability can be established when we have the laws. 我们制定了环境法以后就能够建立相关的责任原则。（此句可以互换）
This is what is meant by stewardship and accountability. 这就是管理工作和责任制的意义。（此句不能换为responsibility）

Responsibility based on actions.
Accountability based on results.
