标题[请益] 请问designation与riling的意思
时间Sun Jul 16 23:47:44 2017
报纸中谈到关於鲸鱼搁浅
On average, 8 humpback whales are stranded each year from Maine to
Virginia, and fewer than 2 are hit by ships, according to data from
NOAA.
An unusual mortality event is a specific designation under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act, and is defined as "a stranding that is unexpected,
involves a significant die-off of any marine mamal population, and
demands immediate response."
请问第二段第一行的designation在这里要怎麽理解比较好呢？
另外，有篇文章提到川普与习近平
The end of the honeymoon does not mean that China and America are at
daggers drawn. A recent phone call between the presidents suggests
they are still prepared to work together on North Korea. But the
timing of America's China-riling moves was significant.
rife原意是「激怒」，China-riling在这里意思是什麽呢？
拜托大家了!

1F：推 naushtogo: 1. 字典定义 designation 可数时，表示“给定的正式名 07/17 11:12
2F：→ naushtogo: 称，虽然 unusual mortality event 看起来是不怎麽特殊 07/17 11:12
3F：→ naushtogo: （很令人怀疑），但上 NOAA 网站，它有定义 UME 07/17 11:12
4F：→ naushtogo: China-riling 看起来就是 rile China（惹恼中国）的复 07/17 11:21
5F：→ naushtogo: 合形容词，把受词往前移，动词改成 Ving 07/17 11:21
6F：→ naushtogo: 例如：a heart-breaking story 07/17 11:25
7F：→ wohtp: 那句说的不就是，「嘿 UME 虽然听起来好像不知所谓，但是在 07/17 20:11
8F：→ wohtp: 法律上可是有定义的特殊词汇」 07/17 20:11
9F：→ wohtp: 整句就在讲它有定义／定义是什麽，所以用得很适合啊 07/17 20:13
10F：→ naushtogo: 的确耶，只查 designation 的定义，就没看继续看下去了 07/17 20:17
11F：→ naushtogo: XD 07/17 20:17
12F：→ naushtogo: 原来 and 後面有定义，我还到 NOAA 上看定义.... 07/17 20:20
