这里的"护航”是比喻意义，指“保证”或"保障'应译为to guarantee。而 to escort 的意思是 to go with sb to protect or guard them,即“护送”或 "护卫”，其宾语是人或交通工具，而不是抽象的事物。例如：

The President arrived at the conference room, escorted by a group of bodyguards.

"护航"的第一个意思是"护送船只或飞机航行”。英语可以译为to escort, to convoy。例如：

“护航”的第二个意思是“保护或保障一种事物，也可以说“保驾护航”。

英语动词可以译为to protect，to guarantee;名词可以译为guarantee。例如：
