短释义:
A delegate is also an elected official, or the person who is doing the task you delegated them to do. In presidential primaries in the United States, you do not vote for a candidate, you vote for a delegate whose job it is to vote for that candidate at a convention. Be careful with how you pronounce the end of the word. The elected official is pronounced DE-lə-git whereas delegate as a verb should be DE-lə-gāt.
Delegate 会给你的工作带来一种正式的感觉。如果你不喜欢打扫浴室,你可以尝试把这项任务委托给你的弟弟。
长释义:

In presidential primaries in the United States, you do not vote for a candidate, you vote for a delegate whose job it is to vote for that candidate at a convention. Be careful with how you pronounce the end of the word. The elected official is pronounced DE-lə-git whereas delegate as a verb should be DE-lə-gāt.
代表也是民选官员,或者是正在执行您委托他们执行的任务的人。在美国的总统初选中,您不投票给候选人,而是投票给代表,而代表的工作就是在大会上投票给该候选人。请注意单词结尾的发音。当选官员的发音为 DE-lə-git,而代表作为动词应为 DE-lə-gāt。
