基本释义
[verb] begin or introduce (a system, policy, or period)
[动词] 开始或引入（某一制度、政策或时期）
深入解读
Inaugurate 一词逆构自单词 inauguration （就职典礼），自17世纪起作动词表示“为（某人）举行就职典礼、使正式就任”，比如：
- 美国总统总是在1月20日正式就职。
American presidents are always inaugurated on 20 January.
将 inaugurate 用在人以外的组织、建筑等上时，则表示“为……举行创建或落成仪式”，比如：
- 新建的有毒废物研究中心于半年前举行落成典礼。但在这过去的6个月里，财务问题一直困扰着该中心。
The new centre for research on toxic waste was inaugurated half a year ago. But fiscal problems have snagged the centre for the past six months. - 新落成的剧院是由市长主持的开幕典礼。而这位代孕妈妈曾在该剧院做兼职引座员。
The new theatre was inaugurated by the mayor. And this surrogate mother did part-time work as an usher in the theatre.
无论是新人就职还是新组织创建，其实质都是开启了一段新的篇章，所以 inaugurate 也可以用来表示“开始、开创、启用、启动、引进”新时代、新风尚、新政策、新体系、新活动等，强调正式而隆重的开始，比如：
- 欧洲共同体于1993年正式启动欧洲单一市场。
The European Community inaugurated the Single European Market in 1993. - 登陆月球开创了太空探索的新纪元。而他十几岁的时候就开始制作火箭，还冥思苦想着要把太空旅行变成现实。
The moon landing inaugurated a new era in space exploration. And he started building rockets as a teenager, and mused about making space tourism a reality.

出自英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯（Charles Dickens）所著的长篇历史小说《双城记》（A Tale of Two Cities）。该小说以法国大革命为背景，情节感人肺腑，是世界文学经典名著之一。其主要思想是为了爱而自我牺牲，书名中的“双城”指的是巴黎与伦敦。
