意味: To officially appoint someone to a particular role or assign a specific status to something; (as adjective, after a noun) appointed but not yet officially installed.

指定，正式任命某人担任某一角色或赋予某物特定的地位；（名词后置形容词）已被任命但尚未正式就职的。

Designar; nombrar oficialmente a alguien para un cargo o asignar un estatus específico a algo. Como adjetivo pospuesto, nombrado pero aún no instalado oficialmente.

指名する、正式に任命する。または特定の地位を付与する。（名詞の後に置かれる形容詞として）任命されたがまだ正式に就任していない。

지정하다, 공식적으로 임명하다. 또는 특정 지위를 부여하다. (명사 뒤에 놓이는 형용사로) 임명되었으나 아직 공식적으로 취임하지 않은.

Designate functions as both a verb and a postpositive adjective. As a verb, it means to officially assign or appoint — 'the area was designated a conservation zone.' As an adjective placed after a title, it indicates someone who has been appointed but has not yet taken up the role — 'the chairman designate' or 'the president-elect designate.' This postpositive use is distinctive and formal, commonly seen in governance and organisational contexts.

designate 既可用作动词，也可用作后置形容词。作动词时，意为正式指定或任命——'the area was designated a conservation zone（该地区被指定为保护区）'。作后置形容词置于头衔之后时，表示已被任命但尚未就任——'the chairman designate（候任主席）'或'the president-elect designate'。这种后置用法独特且正式，常见于治理和组织语境中。

Designate funciona como verbo y como adjetivo pospuesto. Como verbo, significa asignar o nombrar oficialmente: 'the area was designated a conservation zone' (la zona fue declarada espacio protegido). Como adjetivo colocado tras un título, indica que la persona ha sido nombrada pero aún no ha asumido el cargo: 'the chairman designate' (el presidente electo) o 'the director designate'. Este uso pospuesto es distintivo y formal, habitual en contextos de gobernanza y gestión organizativa.

designate は動詞としても後置形容詞としても機能する。動詞としては、公式に指定・任命することを意味する——「the area was designated a conservation zone（その地域は保全区域に指定された）」。肩書きの後に置かれる形容詞としては、任命されたがまだ就任していないことを示す——「the chairman designate（次期会長）」「the director designate」のように使う。この後置用法は独特かつフォーマルで、ガバナンスや組織運営の場面でよく見られる。

Designate는 동사와 후치 형용사 두 가지 기능을 한다. 동사로는 공식적으로 지정하거나 임명하는 것을 의미한다 — 'the area was designated a conservation zone.' 직함 뒤에 놓이는 형용사로는 임명되었으나 아직 역할을 맡지 않은 사람을 나타낸다 — 'the chairman designate' 또는 'the president-elect designate.' 이러한 후치 용법은 독특하고 격식적이며, 거버넌스 및 조직적 맥락에서 흔히 볼 수 있다.
