Authorized
“Authorized” 是 “authorize” 的过去分词,作形容词表示获得正式许可、官方授权或法律认可的。常见于 “authorized personnel”(授权人员)、“authorized dealer”(授权经销商)等搭配。

- “The bank authorized the payment after verifying her identity.” (银行核实身份后批准了这笔付款。)
“Authorize” 来自中世纪拉丁语 “auctorizare”,与 “author”(作者、权威)同源,核心概念是赋予权威或批准权。
词根 “author” 与权威相关;动词后缀 “-ize” 表示使具有权威;“-ed” 表示已被授权的状态。
商业与技术领域强调 “authorized reseller” 以防假冒;法律文本中 “authorized representative” 指有权代表他人签署或行事者。
- 动词: authorize
- 名词: authorization, authority
- 固定搭配: “authorized dealer” (授权经销商), “authorized access” (授权访问), “not authorized” (未获授权)
“author” 权威 + “-ized” 被赋予权威——authorized 就是官方点头许可的。
