The power to do sth or special powers often come from the courts, the government or a country's constitution (= system of laws and political organization) and refer to what sb is allowed to do within the law or government of the country. 表达此义时，authority常用于短语(have) the authority to do sth。这种权力通常来自某人在公司或其他组织中的职位，指其在组织内部的权限。the power to do sth或special powers的这种权力常来自法院、政府或国家的宪法，某人获允依法或在政府体制内做某事 ◆ Only the manager has the power to sign cheques. ◆ The authority of the police must be clearly defined. ■ liberty ˈlɪbəti; NAmE ˈlɪbərti [countable ] the legal freedom to do sth （法律上的）自由 ◆ The right to vote should be a liberty enjoyed by all.投票权应当是人人享有的合法权利。 ◆ This is a gross infringement of our civil liberties (= the right of people to be free to say or do what they want while respecting others and staying within the law) .这是对我们的公民自由的严重侵犯。 ⓘ In this meaning liberty is used especially in the phrases personal/civil liberties . 表达此义时，liberty尤用于短语personal/civil liberties。 ■ entitlement [uncountable , countable ] (especially BrE , formal ) the official right to have or do sth, especially to receive a payment or own property; something, especially an amount of money, that you have an official right to have or receive （拥有某物或做某事的）权利，资格（尤指收到付款或拥有财产）；有权得到的东西（尤指钱款） ◆ This may affect your entitlement to compensation.这可能影响你索赔的权利。 ◆ Your contributions will affect your pension entitlements.你的缴款数额将会影响你的养老金待遇。 ⓘ This meaning of entitlement is not very frequent in American English. However, especially in American English the phrase a sense of entitlement is used in a disapproving way to talk about people who think they have a right to sth without actually working for it. * entitlement的这一义项在美式英语中不是很常用。不过，尤其是在美式英语中，短语a sense of entitlement用作贬义，指不努力便自认为应享有权利的特权思想 ◆ (especially NAmE , disapproving ) The only child of very wealthy parents, she embodies the spoiled brat with a sense of entitlement.父母有钱，又是独生女，她活脱脱是个被宠坏了的孩子，满脑子特权思想。 entitle ⇨ allow ■ title [uncountable , countable ] (law 法律 ) the legal right to own sth, especially land or property; the document that shows you have this right （尤指土地或财产的）所有权，所有权凭证；房地契 ◆ He claims he has title to the land.他声称拥有这块土地的所有权。 ◆ Who holds the title deed (= the legal document proving that sb is the owner of a particular property or piece of land) ?谁有房契？ ■ due djuː; NAmE duː [uncountable ] something, especially praise, that should be given to sb because they have earned it by their actions 应得到的东西（尤其是赞美） ◆ He received a large reward, which was no more than his due (= what he deserved) .他得到重赏，这是他应得的。 ◆ She's a slow worker, but to give her her due (= be fair to her) she is very thorough.她干活速度很慢，但说句公道话，她做事很仔细。 ⓘ In this meaning due is always used in the phrase my/your/his/her/our/their due . 表达此义时，due总是用于短语my/your/his/her/our/their due。 right 1 the right decision 正确的决定 do the right thing 做正当的事 right ♦︎ correct ♦︎ proper These words all describe a belief, opinion, decision or method that is suitable or the best one for a particular situation. 这些词均表示恰当的、妥当的、适宜的。 PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配 ◆ right / correct about sb / sth ◆ right / correct to do sth ◆ right / correct in thinking / believing / saying sth ◆ the / a right / correct / proper decision / judgement / conclusion ◆ the right / correct / proper way / method / approach ◆ absolutely / quite / undoubtedly right / correct■ right if sb is right to do or think sth, that is a good thing to do or think in that situation （行动或想法）恰当的，妥当的，适宜的 ◆ She was right about Tom having no money.她说对了，汤姆没有钱。 ◆ You're right to be cautious.你保持谨慎是应当的。 ◆ Am I right in thinking we've met before?我们以前见过面，我说得对吗？ ◆ He's made the right decision.他作出了正确的决定。 ◆ 'It's not easy.'

Proper is a more formal word than acceptable , and more frequent in British English than in American English. It can suggest a greater degree of approval: actions that are proper are actions that you approve of; actions that are acceptable are actions that you do not disapprove of. * acceptable比proper含义更宽泛。可以说socially/morally acceptable，但不说socially/morally proper，因为proper已包含“为社会认可、合乎道德”之意。 proper比acceptable正式，在英式英语中比在美式英语中常用，还意味着更大程度的赞同：proper可形容自己赞同的行为，acceptable可形容自己不反对的行为。 ■ due [only before noun ] (formal ) that is suitable or right in the circumstances 适当的；恰当的；合适的 ◆ After due consideration we have decided to appoint Mr Davis to the job.经过适当考虑，我们决定委任戴维斯先生做这项工作。 ◆ Your request will be dealt with in due course (= at the right time and not before) .你的要求将在适当的时候处理。 ■ justified ˈdʒʌstɪfaɪd [not usually before noun ] having a good reason for doing sth; existing or done for a good reason 有正当理由；事出有因；合乎情理 ◆ She felt fully justified in asking for her money back.她认为有充分的理由要求退款。 ◆ I don't think the death penalty is ever justified.我认为死刑从来就不是合理的。 OPP unjustified ⇨ unjustified ■ decent ˈdiːsnt (formal ) acceptable to people in a particular situation 得体的；合宜的；适当的 ◆ Local people made sure the soldiers were given a decent burial.当地民众尽力为这些士兵举行得体的葬礼。 ◆ I think he should do the decent thing and resign.我认为他应该辞职，这才是体面之举。 ◆ She should have waited a decent interval before marrying again.她再婚之前本该适当等上一段时间。 OPP indecent ⇨ improper ■ justifiable ˈdʒʌstɪfaɪəbl, ˌdʒʌstɪˈfaɪəbl existing or done for a good reason and therefore acceptable 事出有因的；合乎情理的；情有可原的 ◆ She took a justifiable pride in her son's achievements.她理所当然地为儿子的成就感到自豪。 ◆ There were no justifiable grounds for sending him to prison.目前还没有正当的理由把他关进监狱。 OPP unjustifiable ⇨ unjustified ▸ justifiably ◆ The college can be justifiably proud of its record.这所大学有理由为自己的成绩感到骄傲。 NOTE 辨析 A person or action can be justified ; an action, feeling or reason can be justifiable . * justified可形容人或行动，justifiable可形容行动、感觉或理由 ◆ She felt justifiable in asking for her money back. ◆ There were no justified grounds for sending him to prison.
