防護罩 (Metaphorical protective layer) Detailed English Explanation: A carapace refers to the hard, upper shell of a crustacean甲殼綱動物 (like a crab or lobster), an arachnid, or a turtle. It serves as a biological suit of armor, protecting the animal’s internal organs from predators and environmental hazards. In a figurative sense, it is often used to describe a “protective shell” or an emotional barrier that a person builds around themselves to remain detached or shielded from external criticism or trauma.
