今天我們要學的詞是 rite.

rite 的意思是正式儀式、典禮，例如常用于短語中 rite of passage，成人禮。Many Americans grew up believing that having a car was a crucial part of life and getting a driver's license was a rite-of-passage, showcasing the progress from being a kid to becoming an adult. 許多美國人在成長時期都相信，汽車是生活中的重要組成部分，拿到駕照則是一個成人禮，標志著從一個孩子變成大人。

From coast to coast the United States measures about 48-hundred kilometers. For many visitors a cross-country trip is something of a rite of passage. 美國大陸東西兩岸相距4800公里，對許多人來說，橫跨美國之旅就像一個跨躍人生階段的儀式。
