If something is sacrosanct, people treat it as so important that you must not touch it, change it, or speak against it. The word began in church and old law, for things set apart as holy and protected by a sacred promise.

If something is sacrosanct如果某樣東西神聖不可侵犯, people treat it as so important大家會把它看得非常重要 that you must not touch it, change it, or speak against it重要到你不能碰它、改變它，或說它壞話。The word這個字 began in church and old law源自教會和古老的法律, for things set apart as holy用來指那些被劃分為神聖的東西 and protected by a sacred promise並受一個神聖誓言保護。

Today people use it far outside church. A parent may say weekend family dinner is sacrosanct — nobody may skip it. A worker may say their lunch break is sacrosanct.

Today今天, people use it far outside church大家把它用在教會之外很遠的地方。A parent一個家長 may say可能會說 weekend family dinner is sacrosanct週末的家庭晚餐是神聖不可侵犯的──nobody may skip it沒有人可以缺席。A worker一個上班族 may say their lunch break is sacrosanct可能會說自己的午休時間是神聖不可侵犯的。

Though actually, speakers often use it with a little heat, or even a little joke: they mean “do not even think of messing with this,” not that the thing is holy in a church sense. It is a formal, bookish word. Used on small everyday things, it can sound over-the-top on purpose.

Though actually不過其實，speakers often use it with a little heat說話的人常常帶點火氣用這個字, or even a little joke或甚至帶點玩笑: they mean意思是 “do not even think of messing with this,”「連想都不要想去動這個」, not that而不是說 the thing is holy in a church sense這東西在宗教意義上是神聖的。It它是 a formal, bookish word一個正式、書面感很重的字。Used on small everyday things用在日常小事上時, it它 can sound over-the-top on purpose可以故意講得誇張。
