celebrate, commemorate

• celebrate着重指外表或行动上的欢庆,如举行盛会、张灯结彩等; 而commemorate着重唤起对某一事件的记忆,该事件不一定是使人欢庆的。例如:

• This building was built to commemorate the Fire of London.这栋大楼是为纪念“伦敦大火”而兴建的。

celebrate, congratulate

• We celebrated his birthday by a banquet.我们举行宴会庆祝他的生日。
• We congratulated her on having passed the examinations.我们祝贺她通过了考试。

celebrate，congratulate

• 这两个动词均有“庆祝，祝贺”之意。
