If you strengthen your defenses, you fortify them, perhaps by adding more arms or increasing your defensive walls. Sometimes the defenses you fortify will be tangible and sometimes the word is used metaphorically to mean give courage.

If you’re nervous about giving a speech, you should fortify yourself with a pep talk first.
如果你加强你的防御，你就加强了它们，也许是通过增加更多的武器或增加你的防御墙。有时你强化的防御是有形的，有时这个词被用来比喻给予勇气。如果一座城堡本来就很容易受到攻击，那么它的主人可能会通过增加一条护城河来加固它——并且可能会在里面放满鳄鱼。如果你对发表演讲感到紧张，你应该先用鼓舞士气的演讲来巩固自己。
