1. 1頌揚、美化(有時帶負面意味,指過度美化)

    To make something or someone seem more wonderful, grand, or important than it really is, by praising it a lot — sometimes too much. It can be a warm, positive word (to glorify God, to glorify a hero), or a critical one (people say a movie "glorifies violence" when it shows violence as or good, which some people think is harmful).

core核心畫面

組成glory (great honor, praise, or beauty) + -ify (a verb ending meaning "to make") — so glorify literally means "to make glorious".
