responsible care and management
The careful and honest way of taking care of and managing something that you are responsible for, like money, land, or the environment.
用法模式：
stewardship of [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse 'stewardship' with 'ownership'. 'Stewardship of something' means you manage and care for it responsibly, but you may not own it. Another common mistake is using it without 'of': say 'stewardship of the environment', not '*stewardship the environment'.
近义词
management (More general and practical; does not always include the moral or ethical sense of responsibility that 'stewardship' often implies.)
|
care (Less formal and broader; focuses on looking after something but not necessarily on organized or long‑term responsibility.)
|
guardianship (Suggests legal or protective responsibility, often for a person or property, whereas 'stewardship' is wider and includes resources or the environment.)
反义词
neglect (Failure to look after something properly, which is the opposite of careful and responsible stewardship.)
|
mismanagement (Bad or irresponsible management, the direct opposite of the careful and ethical management suggested by 'stewardship'.)

time when someone leads something
The time or job when someone is the person who leads and manages an organization, project, or other thing.
用法模式：
under the stewardship of [someone]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes leave out the preposition and say '*under her stewardship of the company' incorrectly. Use 'under her stewardship, the company…' or 'her stewardship of the company was successful.' Also, do not use 'stewardship' where simple 'time' or 'period' is meant; it implies active management, not just time passing.
近义词
leadership (Broad term for guiding people or organizations; 'stewardship' stresses careful and responsible management during that leadership.)
|
tenure (Focuses on the length or period of holding a position; 'stewardship' emphasizes how that position is used to manage something.)
|
administration (Often used for a government or official team in charge; 'stewardship' highlights the responsibility and quality of their management.)
反义词
vacancy (A time when a post is empty and no one is in charge, the opposite of a period defined by a specific person’s stewardship.)
|
misrule (A period of bad or unjust government, contrasting with the careful, responsible leadership implied by 'stewardship'.)
