 基本释义 commemorate: To commemorate an important event or person means to remember them by means of a special action, ceremony, or specially created object. v.纪念；庆祝 As for knocking over more statues, he concludes that rather than trying to obliterate imperial history, which will always infuriate as many people as it pleases, Britain should commemorate more of the colonised people who challenged and reformed the empire, or indeed died for it on the battlefield. In short, more, not fewer, plinths and plaques. That would give a clearer and more textured picture of Britain's imperial past. 至于推倒更多的雕像，他总结道，与其试图抹去帝国历史(这总会激怒很多的人)，英国应该纪念那些挑战、改革帝国，或者在战场上为帝国牺牲的殖民地人民。简而言之，需要更多的，而不是更少的基座和牌匾。这将为英国的帝国历史提供一幅更清晰、更有质感的画面。 ——《经济学人》 n.备忘录 memoir /'memwɑː/ n.回忆录，自传 memorial /mə'mɔːrɪəl/ adj.纪念的，记忆的 memorize /ˈmeməraɪz / v.记住，背熟 前缀 com 表示“共同”，后缀 ate 表示动词词性，所以，com（共同）+memo（记忆）+ate（动词）=共同来记忆、记住→纪念，庆祝。   |
