Question

rite n.仪式；典礼 (1) 这个仪式不仅仅象征着变成成年人。(2) 比如说，我的那些猎人就有一种仪式。(3) 孩子过生日时，假装打他们的屁股使人们回想起一种仪式，这种仪式是很多成人典礼中不可缺少的一个步骤。 Rites are rituals. Religions in particular have many rites, which include celebrations and sacraments such as baptism or confession. But people also use this word for any kind of event that signifies moving through a stage of life. For a football player, getting your first touchdown is a "rite of passage."
