adjective · B2
Officially allowed to do a particular job, because an authority has checked the person and given them a licence.
有執照的

licensed 可以想成一張紙站在後面。有權力說「可以」的人，已經說過了。這張紙有時候站在一個人後面，有時候站在一台車或一隻狗後面，有時候站在整件事後面，也有時候站在盒子裡那個玩具後面。看到這個字，你知道的不是「這個好」，而是「上面准了，而且查得到」。沒有那張紙，同樣的人、同樣的車、同樣的事就是 unlicensed。Three branches
賣酒執照（英式）
還是官方許可，但範圍被固定成一件事：賣酒。因為太常用，英國人講 licensed 而不補後面那幾個字，大家也知道在講什麼。
adjective · B2
Used about a restaurant, café, hotel or shop in Britain: it has official permission to sell alcoholic drinks.
（英）有賣酒執照的
版權授權的商品
畫面一樣是「有人點頭了」，但點頭的不是公家機關，而是那個角色、名字或故事的擁有者，所以它自成一支。
adjective · B2
Made and sold with the official permission of the company or person who owns the character, name or story that it uses.
授權的（商品）
