1. 1明文保障、載入(憲法、法律等)好讓人守住並尊重

    If a right, idea, or tradition is enshrined in something — a constitution, a law, a charter, a holy text — it is held there so that people must remember it and treat it as protected. Journalists and lawyers love this verb; it is formal.

    If a right, idea, or tradition is enshrined in something如果一項權利、理念,或傳統被enshrine在某個東西裡——a constitution, a law, a charter, a holy text像憲法、法律、憲章,或聖典裡——it is held there被保存在那裡,so that people must remember it and treat it as protected好讓人們必須記住它,並把它當作受保護的東西看待。Journalists and lawyers love this verb記者和律師很愛用這個動詞;it is formal它是正式用語。

    The picture is a shrine: a holy place where something precious is kept. You enshrine a principle in law the way a shrine keeps a sacred object safe and respected.

    The picture is a shrine背後的畫面是一座神龕:a holy place where something precious is kept一個用來收藏珍貴物品的聖地。You enshrine a principle in law你把一項原則enshrine在法律裡,the way a shrine keeps a sacred object safe and respected就像神龕讓神聖的物品既安全又受人尊敬那樣。

    Though actually, in news English it is almost always this abstract use, not someone physically putting an object in a temple. You can also enshrine a memory in a museum, or a custom in family life, still with that 'keep it safe and honoured' feeling.

    Though actually不過其實,in news English在新聞英文裡,it is almost always this abstract use幾乎都是用這種抽象的用法,not someone physically putting an object in a temple不是真的有人把東西放進廟裡。You can also enshrine a memory in a museum你也可以說enshrine a memory in a museum(把一段記憶收藏在博物館裡),or a custom in family life或enshrine a custom in family life(把一項習俗留存在家庭生活中),still with that 'keep it safe and honoured' feeling帶著同樣那種「妥善保存並受到尊重」的感覺。

    It does not mean invent, and it does not mean merely mention. The thing is already valued; this is how it is locked in so it will not be casually dropped.

    It does not mean invent它不是「發明」的意思,and it does not mean merely mention也不只是「提到」而已。The thing is already valued那個東西本來就已經被珍視了;this is how it is locked in so it will not be casually dropped這個字講的是怎麼把它鎖定下來,好讓它不會被隨便丟掉。
