celebration

---

【典型错误】：

※They had a party in the celebration of May Day．

【说明】：

在in celebration of(庆祝)这个固定短语中，celebration之前不用冠词。

但当celebration指“庆典”、“庆祝会”、“庆祝活动”时，常以复数形式出现。例如：

The banquet was given in celebration of the King’s carnation．这次宴会是为庆祝国王加冕而举行的。

They had a party in celebration of May Day．他们举行庆“五一”聚会。

Such good news calls for celebrations．这么好的喜讯需要庆贺一番。
