Authoritative describes something or someone that people trust and take seriously because it clearly knows what it's talking about — an authoritative source is the most reliable one, an authoritative voice sounds confident and in control, and an authoritative book on a subject is the one experts consider the best. It's a compliment when it's about reliability, but it can also describe a person's manner in a slightly less way — speaking in a commanding, in-charge way that expects to be obeyed.
權威的;(語氣)具說服力、命令式的
