Tips

register
英勋 is a literary, classical-flavored compound - (heroic, outstanding) + (meritorious deed, often a military or state honor). You'll meet it in historical writing, formal eulogies, and historical drama subtitles, rarely in everyday speech. Modern equivalents: 功勋 ('meritorious service') is far more common; 英勋 has a more poetic ring.
