小知识
To officiate is to preside over a ceremony, or to be the person in charge. At most weddings, a religious leader or judge officiates.
A rabbi might officiate during your cousin's wedding, or the happy couple might ask a friend to officiate. When an official acts in some official way, they also officiate. A referee, for example, officiates at a hockey game, and a town's mayor might officiate at the grand opening of a new library. Officiate, as of the seventeenth century, mainly meant “perform the duty of a priest,” from the Latin root officium, “kindness,” or “official duty,” and also “church service.”
