Notes:
1.除了结婚周年纪念,anniversary还可以用于指某个名人的诞辰周年纪念、国家成立、集体成立的周年纪念。要表达“X周年纪念”,在anniversary前面加上一个序数词即可,比如the 25th anniversary.百年纪念可以说the 100th anniversary,也可以说centennial.
2. You can have all the...you want的意思是“你可以任意(吃、喝等)”。自助餐上,我们可以随意选择自己想要的食物,这时你可以说“You can have all the food and drink you want at a buffet dinner”。
