An exhortation is the noun that sits on exhort: the strong pushing itself, or the talk that does the pushing. It can mean the act of trying very hard to persuade someone, or the speech (a sermon, a half-time talk, a public appeal) that tries to fire people up to do the right or needed thing.

Same formal, slightly old-fashioned feel as the verb. You hear it in news and in careful writing more than in chat. One person can give an exhortation; a whole speech can be full of exhortations.

Same formal, slightly old-fashioned feel as the verb跟這個動詞一樣，帶著正式、有點老派的味道 You hear it in news and in careful writing你在新聞和謹慎的寫作裡聽到它， more than in chat會比在聊天裡多 One person can give an exhortation一個人可以發表一段exhortation； a whole speech can be full of exhortations一整場演講也可以充滿exhortations

Though actually, if the talk is only advice, we would not usually reach for this word — it wants a sense of urgent moral or practical pressure, not a friendly tip.

Though actually不過其實， if the talk is only advice如果那段話只是建議， we would not usually reach for this word我們通常不會用這個字—— it wants a sense of urgent moral or practical pressure它要的是一種急迫的道德或現實壓力感， not a friendly tip不是友善的小提醒
