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。
