assigned vs designated
「assigned」通常指上級或系統分配具體任務或物件給某人,帶有執行責任。而「designated」則強調官方或正式指定一個角色、用途或狀態,不一定涉及任務執行。
assigned vs appointed
「assigned」通常用於分配任務或具體工作,而「appointed」則用於正式任命某人擔任某個職位或官職,更具權威性和正式性。
assigned vs allocated
「assigned」強調將任務或責任分配給特定的人。而「allocated」則強調將資源(如時間、金錢、空間)分配或撥給特定的用途、專案或部門。
在口語中,常用來引述或轉述一個被指派的任務或責任。 EN: So what I was assigned to do was basically clean up the database. 翻譯: 所以我被指派的工作基本上就是清理資料庫。
EN:She’s like, "I got assigned the worst shift again."
翻譯:她就說:「我又被排到最爛的班了。」
會透過重音或語調來強調「被指定」的狀態,常帶有無奈或意外的情緒。 EN: I was assigned to the project at the very last minute. 翻譯: 我在最後一刻才被指派到那個專案。
EN:You won’t believe who they assigned as our new manager.
翻譯:你絕對不會相信他們指派了誰當我們的新主管。
在描述過程時,用作思考的停頓點,帶出後續的細節或感受。 EN: The task I was assigned… well, it turned out to be pretty interesting. 翻譯: 我被指派的那個任務…嗯,結果其實挺有趣的。
EN:We were all assigned different roles—you know, to make it fair.
翻譯:我們都被分配了不同的角色——你知道的,這樣比較公平。
正式書寫注意:在正式報告或文件中,應避免使用過於口語的引述或填充停頓(如「…well…」、「you know」),建議直接明確陳述指派內容,例如「The committee assigned the following duties:…」。

×The teacher assigned us a new homework.
✓The teacher assigned us new homework.
「homework」為不可數名詞,前面不應加「a」。
×I was assigned to complete the report.
✓I was assigned the report to complete. / I was assigned to complete the report.
「assign」後接直接受詞(the report)時,通常使用「assign + 人 + 物」或「assign + 物 + to + 人」的結構。原句文法雖可接受,但較不自然。更常見的說法是「I was assigned the report」或「The report was assigned to me」。
×They assigned him for the new position.
✓They assigned him to the new position.
指派某人「到」某個職位、任務或地點時,應使用介系詞「to」,而非「for」。
×A new partner has assigned to our team.
✓A new partner has been assigned to our team.
此處主詞「A new partner」是「被指派」的對象,應使用被動語態(has been assigned)。
×My boss assigned me this work yesterday.
✓My boss assigned me this task yesterday. / My boss assigned me this work yesterday.
「work」作為「工作」時是不可數名詞,通常指整體的工作量或範疇。雖然口語中可能聽到,但在正式或明確指單一項「任務」時,使用可數名詞「task」或「assignment」更為精確。
×The room number was assigned for you.
✓The room number was assigned to you.
表達某物被分配「給」某人時,應使用介系詞「to」。「for」在此處不正確。
