一个是动作，一个是一类人或物
survivor通常是指“幸存者”

survival是生存，幸存的名词形式

1. survivor是“幸存者”，可以是人，有时也可以引申为某些保留到现在的东西。有时候也不一定是经历大变故大灾难的，差点丢了性命的人，而只是用来引申经历了反感经历的人。

英文解释：
a. （事故等）的幸存者
A survivor of a disaster, accident, or illness is someone who continues to live afterwards in spite of coming close to death.
b. 经历了令人讨厌，不愉快经历等的人
A survivor of a very unpleasant experience is a person who has had such an experience, and who is still affected by it.
c. 保存下来的东西，人
If you describe a person or thing as a survivor from an earlier period, you mean that they are still present or available,
but other people or things from that period have died or disappeared.

例句：
Officials said there were no survivors of the plane crash. 这里的survivor是“幸存者”。
This building is the sole survivor from the riot in the last century. 这里的survivor是“保存下来的东西”。

2. survival是生存，幸存的名词形式，很少的情况下被用来指“存活下来的东西”（something that survives）。

英文解释：
a. 生存，存活
If you refer to the survival of something or someone, you mean that they manage to continue or exist in spite of difficult circumstances.
b. 幸存（其实思想上和生存差不多）
If you refer to the survival of a person or living thing, you mean that they live through a
dangerous situation in which it was possible that they might die.

例句：If cancers are spotted early there's a high chance of survival. 这里的survival就是“存活”的意思。
