dedicate: implies a solemn
and exclusive devotion to a sacred or serious use or purpose: ~d her life to medical research.   solemn庄严suggests an impressive gravity utterly free from levity令人印象深刻的威严,毫不轻浮,如the solemn occasion of a coronation加冕的庄严时刻;serious严肃implies a concern for what really matters是指关注重要事物,如marriage is a serious matter婚姻是一个严肃的问题,如her face grew serious她的脸变得严肃起来,prefers gothic romance to serious fiction比起严肃小说,更喜欢哥特罗曼史   严肃serious是庄严solemn的基础词,在20180508 严肃serious-earnest)    又如he dedicated his life to helping the poor他毕生致力于帮助穷人,如this book is dedicated to my parents谨以此书献给我的父母,用于书籍等文学作品的题献辞

记忆方法: 1)首字母DDCH好大的才<==奉献             ""是会意字,由表示礼器"鬲"和表示祭品的"犬"构成,俗字写成"献"。"鬲"是古代的一种炊具,犬本义是狗,在这里代表进献之物。本义指"祭祀宗庙时用作祭品的",由"进献、进献的物品"引申为"奉献",如献花献技贡献献礼献媚。"文献"指有历史价值的图书文物;"贡"指给君主,献可以是给君主,也可以是其他人            ""本意是"植物已长高,接近高度极限",也指"恭敬地用手捧着"。字从丰从丰省,"丰"意为"植物生长了三个月"。"丰省"字形从二从丨,意为植物又长了两个月。合起来表示长了5个月。本义是"植物已长高",引申为"提升高度",奉献表示"把贡品抬升到眉毛的高度献给君主",恭敬地用手捧着,引申为 1、恭敬对待,如奉献奉承奉养供奉信奉 2、遵守,如奉命奉公奉天奉旨                  
"but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men......但从更广泛意义上来说,我们不能奉献不能圣化不能神化这块土地,那些英勇的人们......",出自葛底斯堡演说,全文仅10个句子272个单词不到3分钟,其中词1(即devote)出现2次词2出现6次词3出现2次词4出现1次,可以说gettysburg address就是关于"奉献"的演说,被铸成金文存放在牛津大学,是美国中学生必读著作,上大学时背诵过,篇幅非常短,建议学生和有条件的背诵

              2)奉献的意思是用于高尚目的mean to set apart for a particular and often higher end.        set apart留出拨出,如I have set apart a little money for our holidays我留出一点钱准备我们度假用
