One way to hold it: putting an official mark on something so everyone knows what it is for. This building is now the shelter; that colour now means danger; this person is now the one who will do the job. Nothing physical changes — the mark does the work, and after it, everyone treats the thing differently.

可以想成正式在某個東西上蓋了一個記號,從此大家都知道它是做什麼用的:這棟樓從現在起是避難所、這個顏色代表危險、這個人就是要接這份工作的人。東西本身沒有變,變的是那個記號——蓋上之後,大家對它的處理方式就不一樣了。
