守护

• 병음: shǒu hù
• 한자 분석: 守 = 宀 + 寸 (roof + hand — to keep watch over a place); 护 = 扌 + 隻 (hand + single — a hand holding something close, shielding it)

뜻

지키다; 보살피며 보호하다

Implies a sustained, devoted, and often selfless protective presence. Carries strong emotional and moral weight — unlike 保护 (to protect — more neutral and transactional), 守护 suggests a deep, ongoing commitment to keeping something precious safe. Used for guarding loved ones (守护家人), protecting a value or ideal (守护信念), or preserving something irreplaceable (守护文化遗产). Common in literary, military, and emotional contexts. Key compound: 守护者 (guardian); 守护神 (patron deity/guardian spirit).

올바른 표현

• 在生态文明建设中，守护自然生态的完整，不只是环保诉求，更是人类可持续发展的前提，也是对子孙后代的责任。(In building ecological civilization, guarding the integrity of natural ecosystems is not just an environmental appeal, but a prerequisite for sustainable human development and a responsibility to future generations.)
• 守护新闻自由，既要法律保障，也要从业者守住独立判断与报道准确。(Guarding press freedom needs both legal protection and practitioners' independent judgment and accurate reporting.)

피해야 할 표현

• 守护 as a synonym for mere physical security or surveillance — use 看守 (to stand guard/watch over — implies monitoring rather than devoted protection) or 保卫 (to defend/safeguard — more military or institutional); 守护 always carries a strong connotation of devoted, caring protection for something or someone of deep personal or symbolic value, and sounds out of place for routine security or surveillance tasks
