1. 1象徵、標誌(正式用語)

    An emblem is a picture or symbol that stands for something bigger — a country, a team, an idea, or a value. A flag is an emblem of a nation, and an eagle is often used as an emblem of strength or freedom. It's a slightly more formal word than "symbol" or "logo," and you'll often see it on official things like uniforms, coins, or flags.

From the word’s history

From Old French embleme, from Latin emblēma, from Greek émblēma 'an insertion'.

經拉丁文 emblēma 來自希臘文 émblēma「嵌入物」。
