- 1揭開神秘、講明白
To demystify a subject is to explain it so it no longer feels locked away or only for specialists. You take something that looks hard — law, science, a computer, even cooking — and you show its simple shape. Teachers and popular writers do this on purpose. It is a fairly formal verb, but a kind one: it says you can understand this too. It does not mean “make it childish”; it means “make it clear.”
