You can picture a medal as a flat metal disc on a ribbon, hung round someone's neck in front of everyone — a small object whose whole job is to say, in public, that this person did something worth marking.

可以想成一片扁扁的金屬圓牌,繫著彩帶掛上某個人的脖子,而且是當著大家的面掛的。它本身只是一小塊金屬,重點在於那個公開的動作——用一個看得見、摸得到的東西,把「這個人做到了什麼」記下來。也因為畫面這麼具體,英文後來乾脆把整個場景當成動詞用。
