A useful way to hold this word is to see the 'title' sitting inside it. A title is a name that has been officially given — and an official name can do two things. It can be your claim: hold the title to a piece of land and it is yours by right. Or it can simply be what a thing is called: the title of a book. Entitle means to hand over that official label — either the right, or the name.
一種想法是：先看見這個字裡面藏著 title。title 是「官方給出去的名號」，而一個官方名號可以做兩件事。它可以是你的憑據——手上握著一塊地的 title，那塊地照法律就是你的；它也可以只是一個東西叫什麼——一本書的 title 就是書名。entitle 就是把這個官方標籤交出去：交出去的若是權利，你就「有資格」；交出去的若是名字，那東西就「名為」什麼。兩個意思都圍著同一個 title 打轉，只是取了它不同的一面。
