常见错误

❌ 错误:He christened his son in the park.
✓ 正确:He had his son christened in the church.

错误:'christen' 通常指正式的洗礼命名仪式,多在教堂等宗教场所进行,公园不是典型场景。正确:使用 'had something done' 结构表示安排仪式,并指定合适地点。

❌ 错误:The company christened a new policy yesterday.
✓ 正确:The company introduced a new policy yesterday.

错误:'christen' 主要用于为人或物命名,不适用于抽象概念如政策。正确:使用 'introduce' 或 'launch' 等动词更贴切。

近义词辨析

named

'named' 是通用词,指给予名称,可用于任何场合,无宗教或仪式含义;'christened' 特指洗礼命名或正式首次命名,带传统色彩。

The baby was named Lily by her parents. (日常命名) vs. The baby was christened Lily in the baptism. (宗教仪式命名)

baptized

'baptized' 强调基督教洗礼的宗教行为本身,可能不涉及命名;'christened' 更侧重命名环节,常包含在洗礼仪式中。

He was baptized as a Christian. (侧重宗教入教) vs. He was christened John at his baptism. (侧重命名)
