“使习俗化”可以翻译为 “institutionalize(a custom or practice)” 或 “routinize(a custom)” ,不过更常用且贴合“将某种行为或做法变成习俗、惯例并固定下来”这一含义的精准表达是 “establish as a custom” 或 “turn into a custom” 。而 “institutionalize” 更多侧重于将某事物制度化,使其成为组织或机构中的固定部分;“routinize” 强调的是使某事成为常规、惯例,但不一定特指习俗层面。
示例:
They aimed to establish this practice as a custom in the community.(他们打算在社区里将这种做法变成习俗。 )
Over time, some behaviors have been turned into customs through repeated practice.(随着时间的推移,一些行为通过反复实践变成了习俗。 )
