释义 officiate
      Harper 1975, 1985 assures us that officiate is only an intransitive verb, but officiate has been used transitively since the 17th century. Some transitive uses are still alive:
      Spencer, a master of ceremonies in Britain who has officiated some 700 royal occasions —Julie Gilbert, Houston Post, 21 Aug. 1984
      And sports fans know that games, matches, and contests are officiated—often poorly. Let us assure you that officiate can be used transitively to mean "to carry out (an official duty or function)," "to serve as a leader or celi-brant of (a ceremony)," or "to administer the rules of (a game or sport) esp. as a referee or umpire."
