覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
revelers は revel「陽気に騒いで祝う」に、人を表す -er と複数の -s が付いた形です。partygoers よりも、祭り・年越し・カーニバルなどで街に出て盛り上がる人々という響きが強めです。drunken revelers のように飲酒を伴う場合もありますが、中心は酒宴そのものではなく、祝祭的な騒ぎに参加している人たちです。英式綴り revellers にも注意しましょう。
Think of revel as "celebrate in a loud, excited way," then add -er for a person and -s for a group. So revelers are people who go out and enjoy a festive public celebration, especially at events like New Year's, festivals, or carnivals. It feels more like a lively crowd in the streets than just ordinary party guests. Also remember that British English often spells it revellers.
