Strictly speaking,celebrant should be reserved for an official participant in a religious ceremony or rite. In an earlier survey, however,a majority of the Usage Panel accepted the use ofcelebrant to mean .a participant in a celebration. (as inNew Year`s Eve celebrants ). In this more general sense,celebrator is an undisputed alternative.
严格地说，celebrant 应该仅用来指宗教庆典或仪式的正式参与者。 但在较早的调查中，用法专题使用小组的大多数成员接受了celebrant 的用法， 意指.庆祝活动的参与者.，（如参加新年晚会庆祝的人 ）。 在这个较为广泛的意义上，celebrator 毫无争议地可与其替换使用
