"Be sacrificed on the altar of (something)" nghĩa là bị bỏ rơi để đổi lấy điều mà được cho rằng thấp kém hơn.

Ví dụ
“We believe that our nation is most secure when the president and the administration prioritize readiness, recruitment, and retention rather than using the military to advance a social or political agenda. Military readiness should not be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.”

There have, however, been enough signals from governments and other organisations to suggest the need to address climate change is not being forgotten.

Green is always full of brilliant surprises, so viewers probably weren’t ready to see George die in the second episode, but Vance knew this was coming. “I knew I would be saying goodbye in the second episode. It was one of those scriptural (dựa trên kinh thánh), structural things that somebody’s death propels the series and someone has to be sacrificed on the altar of structure, and that was me. But this is a monster movie, and no telling what can happen [laughs]. So, I’ll just leave it there. It was disappointing but what an episode, what a ride,” he said about his character’s death.
