    To proclaim something is to announce it loudly, publicly, and often officially — you want everyone to hear it and know it is important. A king proclaims a new law. A country proclaims its independence. In everyday talk, people also use it more loosely, almost jokingly, for announcing something with pride: 'She proclaimed that her cooking was the best in the family.'

    宣布、宣告(正式且公開地宣布)
