You can picture a stamp coming down from someone with authority: a court, a city office, an inspector. Once the stamp lands, the thing under it has no future left. A person will not walk free, a house will not be lived in, a box of meat will not be sold. The word does not describe how anything looks or feels. It records the ruling, and the ruling is final.

可以想成一個有權力的人蓋下一個章:法院、市政府、稽查員。章一蓋下去,被蓋的那個對象就沒有以後了。人不會再走出來。房子不會再有人住。那箱肉不會再被賣掉。這個字不是在形容外表或感覺。它記錄的是那個決定,而那個決定是不能翻的。
