    「authorize」是正式／官方的「准許」：有權力的人或單位正式說可以做某事，或把做事的權利交給某人。常見句型是 authorize something（批准某計畫／付款），和 authorize somebody to do something（授權某人做某事）。核心畫面可以想成「握有鑰匙的人把鑰匙交出去」——比 allow / let 更正式，常帶簽名、文件、或官方決定的感覺。跟 permit 比：permit 多出現在規定／告示；authorize 多是「誰有權正式准許」。跟 entitle 比：entitle 是「依法／依規則本來就有權利」；authorize 是「這次正式把准許給出去」。

core核心畫面

Picture someone who has the power to say yes putting their name to a thing. Before the signature, the thing is only wanted; after it, the thing is allowed — and there is a record of who allowed it. The weight of the word sits in that: not a private OK between friends, but an official green light from someone with the standing to give it.

可以想成一個有權說「可以」的人，在一件事上簽了名、蓋了章。簽名之前，那件事只是有人想做；簽名之後，它變成「上面准了的」。這個字的重量就在這裡——不是朋友之間私下答應一聲，而是有職權的人正式放行，而且留得下紀錄：日後別人問「誰准的」，你拿得出依據。
