  • anniversary 是「週年紀念日」的通用詞,前面需加上序數(如 first, tenth)來表示具體是幾週年,不侷限於一百年。
  • centennial 常作為形容詞使用,修飾如 celebration(慶典)、anniversary(紀念日)、event(活動)等名詞。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Centennial"?Which "Centennial" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×This year is the centennial of our school.

This year is the centennial anniversary of our school.

「centennial」本身是名詞,指「一百週年紀念」或「一百週年慶典」。若要表達「一百週年紀念日」或「一百週年慶祝活動」,通常會說「centennial anniversary」或「centennial celebration」。單獨使用「centennial」時,語境需清楚表明是指事件本身。

×We celebrated the company's centennial year.

We celebrated the company's centennial.

「centennial」本身已包含「一百週年」的時間概念,加上「year」是多餘的。正確用法是直接使用「centennial」作為名詞,或使用「centennial year」作為形容詞修飾另一個名詞(例如:centennial year celebrations)。

×The centennial of the war will be next month.

The centennial of the end of the war will be next month.

「centennial」通常紀念的是某個具體事件(如結束、開始、成立),而非一個持續的狀態或時期。若只說「the war」,語意不清,應指明是戰爭的開始、結束或某個關鍵戰役的週年。

×It's the 100th centennial of the library.

It's the centennial of the library.

「centennial」即指「第一百週年」,因此「100th centennial」是錯誤的重複表達。這就像說「100th 100th anniversary」一樣不合理。

×The centennial clock was installed a century ago.

The centennial clock was installed for the centennial celebration a century ago.

「centennial」作為形容詞時,意為「一百週年的」或「持續一百年的」。例句中「centennial clock」可能被誤解為「運行了一百年的鐘」,但更常見的意思是「為一百週年紀念設立的鐘」。為避免歧義,應提供更完整的上下文。
