However, there can be a slight difference of emphasis: ritual often emphasizes the complicated form of the ceremony more than its meaning and you can talk about an elaborate ritual or an empty ritual that has lost its meaning altogether. A rite is often simpler and more serious, especially when it is connected with death: ritual is not used in these cases.在许多情况下这两个词可以通用。不过,两者强调的重点略有不同:ritual通常强调仪式的繁复甚于仪式的意义。可以说an elaborate ritual(繁琐的仪式)或an empty ritual(空洞的程序),但这两种表述中的ritual都失去了原先的意义。rite所指的仪式通常较为简单且更加严肃,在表示与死亡相关的仪式时尤其如此。ritual不这样用◆He received the last rituals from a Roman Catholic priest.◆funeral rituals■service [countable] a religious ceremony, either as part of the regular worship of a particular church or community, or to mark a particular occasion宗教礼仪;礼拜仪式◆He always attends morning service.他总是参加晨祷。◆A special service of praise and thanksgiving was held in the cathedral.主教堂里举行了赞美和感恩的特别仪式。■liturgy ˈlɪtədʒi; NAmEˈlɪtərdʒi [countable, uncountable] a fixed form of public worship used in churches礼拜仪式◆Henry VIII ordered that the English Prayer Book was to replace the old Latin liturgy in church services.亨利八世下令,教堂礼拜时要用英语祈祷书代替原先的拉丁文祈祷书。◆He has written several books on theology and liturgy.他写过几部关于神学和礼拜仪式的书。■sacramentˈsækrəmənt [countable] (ratherformal) an important Christian ceremony such as marriage, baptism or communion(基督教)圣事,圣礼(如婚配、圣洗或圣餐等)◆to receive the sacrament of Christian baptism接受基督教洗礼的圣事■prayers [plural] a religious meeting that takes place regularly, in which people say prayers to give thanks to God or ask him for help祈祷会;祷告式◆He reads the Koran, attends daily prayers and has made a pilgrimage to Mecca.他读《古兰经》,参加每日祈祷,还去过麦加朝圣。
