Cách sử dụng
The expression "at/on the altar of something" means sacrificing something important or valuable in order to achieve or prioritize something else. It comes from the practice of offering sacrifices on an altar, a raised platform used for religious purposes. For example, someone might say "he sacrificed his personal life on the altar of his career" meaning that the person focused so much on their career that they neglected their personal relationships and priorities. It is typically used in a figurative sense rather than a literal one, and is often used negatively to suggest that someone is prioritizing something in an unhealthy or unbalanced way.
