Il faut se méfier de l'adjectif «social» en français. Il n'a pas tous les sens de son homologue anglais. L'expression «club social» en particulier n'a pas de sens en français. Le groupement de membres d'une même entreprise, d'une même profession à des fins philanthropiques ou récréatives se nomme en français «amicale». 3, record 1, French, - amicale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
social : Cet adjectif signifie en français «propre à la société constituée», «relatif à un regroupement d'individus constitué en un tout», «relatif aux rapports entre les classes de la société». Conséquemment, il y a lieu de rendre «social club» par «amicale (n.f.)» et «service club» par «club philanthropique». D'après (RCF, numéro 107 et RCF, numéro 123). 4, record 1, French, - amicale
