free trade area和free trade zone是一个意思吗

在翻译free trade area或者是free trade zone的时候，与之对应的词只有一个，就是‘自由贸易区’。先来看看这两个词的英文原文释，
Free trade area is a type of trade bloc, a designated group of countries that have agreed toeliminate tariffs, quotas and preferences on most (if not all) goods and services traded between them.
Free trade zone is an area of a country where some normal trade barriers such as tariffs andquotas are eliminated and bureaucratic requirements are lowered in hopes of attracting new business and foreign investments.
很明显，flee trade area 指实行自由贸易的一批国家。它们是为了通过降低或取消关税以消除成员国之间的贸易障碍而组成的部分国家联盟。而free trade zone 却指一个国家内免征关税的贸易区域，范围显然要小得多。

意思相同，都是自由贸易区，但area的区域应比zone要大，这就是区别。

一个意思，都是自由贸易区

是的，都是自由贸易区的意思
