[請益] 請問designation與riling的意思

[norge (Boston)]

報紙中談到關於鯨魚擱淺

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."

請問第二段第一行的designation在這裡要怎麼理解比較好呢？


另外，有篇文章提到川普與習近平

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在這裡意思是什麼呢？


拜託大家了!

推 naushtogo: 1. 字典定義 designation 可數時，表示“給定的正式名
→ naushtogo: 稱，雖然 unusual mortality event 看起來是不怎麼特殊
→ naushtogo: （很令人懷疑），但上 NOAA 網站，它有定義 UME
→ naushtogo: China-riling 看起來就是 rile China（惹惱中國）的複
→ naushtogo: 合形容詞，把受詞往前移，動詞改成 Ving
→ naushtogo: 例如：a heart-breaking story
→ wohtp: 那句說的不就是，「嘿 UME 雖然聽起來好像不知所謂，但是在
→ wohtp: 法律上可是有定義的特殊詞彙」
→ wohtp: 整句就在講它有定義／定義是什麼，所以用得很適合啊
→ naushtogo: 的確耶，只查 designation 的定義，就沒看繼續看下去了
→ naushtogo: XD
→ naushtogo: 原來 and 後面有定義，我還到 NOAA 上看定義....
→ norge: 謝謝n大w大!
