陷阱
⚠️celebrate（庆祝/颂扬）vs. commemorate（纪念，庄重）——场合语气不同
The government organised a national ceremony to commemorate the soldiers who died during the conflict.
✗
commemorate = celebrate（两者都是「纪念」，可以互换）
✓
celebrate（庆祝/颂扬，含积极喜庆情绪：celebrate a victory = 庆祝胜利）；commemorate（纪念，庄重肃穆，常用于悼念牺牲或历史事件：commemorate the fallen = 纪念牺牲者；commemorate a tragedy = 纪念悲剧）；× celebrate the soldiers who died（用庆祝语气纪念战死者，语气不当）→ ✓ commemorate
政府组织了一场全国仪式，纪念在冲突中牺牲的士兵。（commemorate = 庄重纪念；celebrate = 欢庆，语气不合）
⚠️celebrated（著名的）vs. famous（出名的）——语域不同
✗
The novel was written by a famous poet who had won numerous international literary awards throughout his career.
这部小说由一位在职业生涯中赢得众多国际文学奖项的著名诗人写成。（famous 语法正确但较口语；celebrated 更书面，且含「受颂扬」义）
famous（出名的，口语常见）和 celebrated（著名的，受高度赞誉的）意思相近，但 celebrated 更书面正式，常用于文学/艺术/学术语境，含「因成就而受颂扬」义；此处是书面写作语境，且强调「多次获奖」，用 celebrated 更合适；famous 本身没错，但 celebrated 更能体现高雅书面风格
✓

这部小说由一位在职业生涯中赢得众多国际文学奖项的著名诗人写成。（celebrated = 著名且受赞誉的，书面用语）

Q1对错判断
判断下面句子里的用法是否正确：
