解释:Celebrate,庆祝,宾语是事情。congratulate, 恭喜,祝贺,宾语是人。

celebrate和congratulate均有“庆祝、祝贺”的意思,两者都是动词.区别在于:
1、celebrate:通常指庆祝有意义的日子或事件,常常伴有盛大的庆典仪式,多指庆祝节日.
例如:How do people celebrate new year in your country?
你们国家的人怎样庆贺新年?
The Society is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.
这个协会今年将举办成立10周年庆典.
2、congratulate:指对他人祝贺为目的,希望他人幸福或走运或表达对某人的表扬.有以下三种用法:
(1)congratulate sb.for sth.为某事向某人表扬、庆贺
I really must congratulate the organizers for a well run and enjoyable event.
活动安排得有条不紊,充满乐趣,我必须要称赞一下组织者.
(2)congratulate sb.on...就…向某人表示祝贺
Congratulate him on following up your leads.
如果他听从你的建议,就向他表示祝贺.
(3)congratulate that+从句
We congratulate that he is accepted to join the Party.
我们祝贺他被接受入党.
因此celebrate常用于庆祝某事,而congratulate则多用于祝贺某人.根据题意,his daughter's being admitted to Qing Hua University 是一件值得庆贺的事情,因此用celebrate.若用congratulate,则可写成:congratulate on him that his daughter has admitted to Qing Hua University.
