《傲慢與偏見》內(nèi)容簡介：
小說講述了Bennet一家五位千金的婚姻與愛情，表達(dá)了婚姻必須建立在愛情和經(jīng)濟(jì)兩個基礎(chǔ)上的婚姻觀。傲慢而深情的達(dá)西先生成為小說塑造的一個經(jīng)典形象。簡奧斯丁的語言簡練而幽默，反復(fù)品味，趣味無窮。

翻譯例句：

Elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters, reflecting on what she had heard, and doubting whether she were authorised to mention it.(Chapter 23)
伊麗莎白正跟母親和姐妹坐在一起，回想剛才所聽到的那件事，猶豫著是否可以把它告訴大家。

詞語解析：

"She were authorised to mention it."

authorise：vt. 意味授權(quán)，批準(zhǔn)，允許；authorise sb. to do sth. 允許某人做某事

例句：Mr Stewart was supposed to log in and authorise the bank's electronic payments.
據(jù)推測，斯圖爾特先生登錄這臺電腦，批準(zhǔn)銀行的電子付款 。

同義詞：confirm , commission , grant 等等。大家應(yīng)該對它的詞源 authority：n.權(quán)威 非常了解吧。另外一些短語：

have authority over (或with ) 對…有權(quán)力

vest someone with authority 授權(quán)某人

on good authority 有確實可靠的根據(jù)

漢譯英：

1.一些人將之視為授權(quán)使用武力的集體；其他人則希望它開始時規(guī)模較小，并能夠證明自身的意義。
Some see it as a body that could authorise the use of force; others want it to start small and prove itself.

2.許多選民都誤解為提高債務(wù)上限是一次批準(zhǔn)新開支的投票，而不是同意支付本屆和往屆國會已經(jīng)累積下來的賬單。
Many are under the misapprehension that it is a vote to authorise new spending, not permission to pay the bills that this and earlier Congresses have already run up.?

3.這是網(wǎng)站面對大量訪問的明證——我懷疑老板們是否會注意這一點，并批準(zhǔn)進(jìn)行必要投資，讓網(wǎng)站在技術(shù)上更穩(wěn)定。
Evidence that the website has been under much scrutiny –I wonder if the bosses will notice this, and authorise the investment needed to make it more technically robust.?
