Name is much more frequent, especially in written language. It is often used in business contexts to talk about appointing a new boss, committee member, etc. However, nominate is used when you are talking about a particular task, not a job or position that continues for a period of time. 与nominate、designate相比，name尤其在书面语中较常用，在商务语境中常用来指任命新老板、委员会新成员等。而nominate指的是委派别人执行某项特定的任务，而不是长期负责某项工作或担任某个职位◆She was named to speak on our behalf. Designate is a formal way of saying name. * designate是name正式的说法。 ■ ˌco-ˈopt [transitive] to make sb a member of a group or committee by the agreement of all the other members （经所有成员同意）增选⋯为委员◆She was co-opted onto the board.她获增选为董事会成员。■ commission / /kəˈmɪʃn/ / [transitive, usually passive] to choose sb as an officer in one of the armed forces 任命⋯为军官◆He has just been commissioned (as a) pilot officer.他刚获任命为空军少尉。■ ˌvote sb ˈin■ ˌvote sb ˈinto sth■ ˌvote sb ˈonto sth phrasal verb to choose sb for a position by voting for them 投票选出⋯任（某职）◆He was voted in as treasurer.他当选为财务主管。◆She was voted onto the board of governors.她获选入董事会。 OPP vote sb out , vote sb out of/off sth see also vote ⇨ election call1 verb We called the baby Mia. 我们给婴儿取名米娅。call the office/the police/a taxi 给办公室打电话；打电话叫警察／出租车hear a voice calling 听见呼喊声hear a bird callingcall ♦︎ name ♦︎ term ♦︎ entitle ♦︎ label ♦︎ designate ♦︎ dub ♦︎ brand ♦︎ nickname ♦︎ address ♦︎ christenThese verbs all mean to give sb/sth a name or title. 这些动词均表示取名、命名。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to label / designate / brand / address sb / sth as sth◆to call / address sb by their full name, their first name, etc.◆to call / name / dub / nickname / christen sb Mary, Ali etc.◆to call / dub / nickname sb captain, the wizard, etc.◆officially called / named / termed / entitled / labelled / designated / dubbed / christened◆aptly called / named / termed / entitled / nicknamed◆commonly called / termed / labelled■ call [transitive] to give sb/sth a particular name;
