designated

what it means

Designated means chosen and named for a job, out loud, so that everyone knows which one you are. It is built on sign — to designate is to mark something out — and the marking is the whole point. A designated driver is not merely the person who happens not to be drinking; they are the one the group named at the start of the night, which is exactly why it is hard to quietly change your mind at eleven. The same weight sits in a designated area, a designated seat, a designated survivor. Somebody decided, the decision was said aloud, and now it is yours.

Designated es elegido y nombrado en voz alta para un papel, de modo que todos saben cuál eres. Está construido sobre «signo»: designar es marcar. El conductor designated no es el que casualmente no bebe, es el que el grupo nombró al empezar la noche — por eso ya no puede cambiar de idea en silencio.

Designated é escolhido e nomeado em voz alta para um papel, de modo que todos sabem quem é. É construído sobre "signo": designar é marcar. O motorista designated não é quem por acaso não bebe; é quem o grupo nomeou no começo da noite — e por isso não dá para mudar de ideia caladinho.

Designated, c'est choisi et nommé à voix haute pour un rôle, de sorte que tout le monde sait lequel c'est. Le mot est bâti sur « signe » : désigner, c'est marquer. Le conducteur designated n'est pas celui qui ne boit pas par hasard : c'est celui que le groupe a nommé en début de soirée.

Designated berarti dipilih dan disebut namanya untuk sebuah peran, sehingga semua orang tahu itu Anda. Kata ini dibangun dari "tanda": designate adalah menandai. Sopir designated bukan orang yang kebetulan tidak minum; ia yang ditunjuk kelompok di awal malam — karena itu tidak bisa diam-diam berubah pikiran.

Designated, bir görev için seçilip adının yüksek sesle söylenmesidir; böylece hangisi olduğunuzu herkes bilir. Kelime "işaret" üzerine kuruludur: designate etmek, işaretlemektir. Designated sürücü, tesadüfen içmeyen kişi değildir; gecenin başında grubun adını andığı kişidir.
