中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區(qū)維護國家安全公署在香港揭牌

The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) was inaugurated on Wednesday morning.

【單詞講解】

英文報道中的inaugurate通常有三層意思，一表示“就職，舉行就職典禮”，具體的用法是，(就職的)人+ be inaugurated 比如：US President Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017.(美國總統(tǒng)特朗普的就職典禮于2017年1月20日舉行。)“就職典禮”的名詞形式可以直接用inauguration來表示，后面無需加ceremony，因為inauguration本身就包含“典禮”這一層意思，比如：presidential inauguration(總統(tǒng)就職典禮)。

二表示“落成，成立”，用法與第一層意思相同，(成立的)機構(gòu)+ be inaugurated，比如：A new school was inaugurated in the village.(這個村子里新落成了一所學校。)

三表示“開創(chuàng)，開展”，比如：The coronavirus pandemic has inaugurated a time of chaos and change.(新冠病毒大流行開創(chuàng)了一個混亂與變革的時代。)Pan Am inaugurated the first scheduled international flight.(泛美航空公司開通了第一條國際定期航班線路。)
