易错句子The church keeps the saint's bones in a relic.
正确表达The church keeps the saint's bones in a reliquary.
relic（圣物）指圣人的遗骨、遗物本身，reliquary（圣骨匣）是盛放遗物的容器。此句想表达存放圣骨之处，应该用 reliquary，而非 relic。

易错句子The museum displays several ancient reliquarys.
正确表达The museum displays several ancient reliquaries.
reliquary 以辅音字母 y 结尾，变复数时需把 y 改为 i 再加 es，所以复数是 reliquaries，而不是 reliquarys。
reliquary 指存放或展示圣物的匣子/箱子，relic 则指圣物或遗物本身，二者是‘容器’与‘所装之物’的区别；不能把圣物说成 reliquary。
repository 泛指存放物品的场所或库房，不特指宗教圣物；reliquary 专指存放宗教圣骨/圣物的匣子，使用场合更具体、更正式。
