奉献,献身;(为表示感情或敬意将著作、乐曲、艺术作品等)题献给(某人、某事业等)(to);(在书、音乐或作品的前部)题献辞;以…供奉;

这两个词共同的意思是“贡献,奉献”。它们的区别在于:devote强调从个人的热情或愿望出发去干某事, dedicate包含有devote的意思,但重点是指从事一种庄严的、正式的、神圣的事业或工作。例如:
He devoted the whole night to light music.他整个晚上都在听轻音乐。
He dedicated his life to training students.他毕生都在培养学生。
这两个动词均有“奉献”之意。
dedicate正式用词,指献身于某一崇高事业或目的,也可指把著作题献给他人。
devote普通用词,指决心把全部身心、精力、时间等献给某一目标,某一个人或致力于某一事业。
词源记忆法
dedicate致力于de-,向下,强调。-dic,说,声称,词源同diction原为宗教术语,即向上帝发愿,致力于完成某功德。后词义通用化。dedicate奉献,把...用在词根词缀de-加强意义+-dic-说,讲+-ate动词词尾
