memorial纪念物； 纪念碑， 纪念馆，纪念堂 monument纪念碑 人民纪念碑 用monument。 xx纪念堂用memorial。 “memorials are often related to death and destruction: world trade center memorial, martin luther king jr. memorial or titanic wreckage memorial bouye. a monument tends to be built to remember a significant person or event in history or a time period. the empire state building, for example, is a monument of the booming american economy of the period and the arc de triumph is a monument to military victories. of course there is some blurrying between the definitions, but this tends to be the trend: memorials: more somber, remembrance. monuments: more of a mark of achievement or historic marker. (and there are some monuments, such as the washington monument, which -- although built after washington's death (so a memorial) is more _symbolic_ of washington's ideals and the constructs of american freedoms - making it a monument)”
