“宣召”常见的英文表达可以是 “summon to the presence (of a ruler, etc.)” 或者更简洁地用 “summon”(在特定语境中,当明确知道是召唤到权威者面前时),不过 “summon” 本身含义更宽泛,意为“召唤;召集;传讯” 。
例如:
The emperor summoned the official to the imperial palace.(皇帝宣召那位官员进宫。 这里“summoned...to the imperial palace” 类似“宣召到宫廷” ,传达出“宣召”的含义 )
He was summoned to the king's chamber.(他被宣召到国王的房间。 )
