check后来问我导师信息，MS木有导师，但是系主任好像是所有master's students的公用导师- -! 英文怎么跟他说这事能不引起误会：“我们硕士生没有指定的导师，系主任或许是我们公共的导师。”
自己写出来感觉怪怪的
As a master's student, I do not have a special advisor. Prof. XXX, the Graduate Chair, may be the common academic advisor for all master's students.

这两个我也想到，但都不如"special advisor"在Google search结果多啊

谁再帮我看看上面的句子，要写research plan呢

"Designated" can be used in phrases such as a " designated driver". In fact, "designated driver" is the only phrase I've used with the word "designated" in it during the two years I've been in the States.

"Special" is a bit odd.

I don't know if specific is wrong, thank goodness my livelihood doesn't count on getting a trivial word correct.

the only phrase I know is "designated area for smoking". but, I agree with ur last sentence. A word or two won't matter that much. lz needs to take it easy.
