然而,與其強調註銷駕照,黃國晉建議,應優先創造友善老人的生活環境,再來談剝奪老人的交通工具,才是符合高齡社會的作法,不應本末倒置;成功的老化,除了避免生病、維持良好身心功能之外,也希望長者積極參與社會活動,彰顯生命價值。
Yet ­Huang emphasizes that you’ve got to first put into place a generally senior-friendly environment before you can start talking about depriving seniors of their licenses. That’s the only suitable and undisruptive approach to take with an elderly society. Ageing successfully, apart from avoiding illness and maintaining fitness, also requires that seniors participate in social activities and demonstrate the value of being alive.

Editor:
1) I put "conspicuous" last since the verb sense seems more common.
2) I think there are better ways of defining it than "demonstrate".
3) "to manifest; to demonstrate" seems inadequate to explain certain expressions such as 不彰顯自己,... (TP: "Always self-effacing, ...")
Basically, I think GF's definition can understood as "1. conspicuous 2. to make conspicuous".
So I think that, literally, 不彰顯自己 is "does not make himself conspicuous" or "doesn't draw attention to himself" -- in other words, he is "self-effacing".
It doesn't mean "he doesn't manifest himself" or "he doesn't demonstrate himself".
