Just for Fun
片段讲解秀
from:《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》
他是这次会议的代表。
误:He is a representative to the conference.
正:He is a delegate to the conference.
分析:
名词representative和delegate均可表示“代表”,但representative是常用词,多指被选举或委派以代理人的身份为他人行事的人,其活动较少受到选举人或委派人的约束,任职时间较长;而delegate却为正式用词,指政府或其他方面任命或委派出席各种机构或会议并以委派者的名言发表意见的人,有一定的权力,但较多地为委派者所约束,其任职往往是暂时的。
例句:
He is a representative for a large steel company.|他是一家大钢铁公司的代表。
A member of Parliament is the representative of the people in his constituency.|下院议员代表他那一选区的选民。
Babbit was an official delegate.|巴比特是官方代表。
The delegates of the various governments sat down at the table.|在会议桌旁坐着各国政府的代表。
