How it's used
Reserved for formal contexts, this term is rarely used in casual daily conversation. It carries a sense of making something abstract, such as justice or status, clearly visible and undeniable. You will frequently encounter it in news reports, political speeches, or official statements rather than when chatting with friends.
Examples
This event can highlight our spirit of unity.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual settings where you would simply say 顯出 or 表現出. Using it to describe mundane actions, like showing off a new phone, will sound overly dramatic and unnatural.
