不一样。纪念碑是近代才有的，一般用来纪念战争胜利，革命先烈啊什么的。牌坊是古代就有的，在古代一般要得到皇帝的恩赐才可以建牌坊。比如皇帝认为你是一个很有德行的人，或者你曾经立过大功，就可能赐给你一座功德牌坊，以表彰和宣扬你的功德。

They're not the same. Commemorative monuments are more recent and typically commemorate war victories, revolutionary martyrs and such. Commemorative arches are from ancient times and normally required the emperor's blessing before they could be built. For example, if the emperor thought you to be a very virtuous person or you performed some outstanding service, the emperor could potentially gift you an arch to reward and honor you.
