Question

prerogative n.特权；显著的优点 (1) 统治者可行使赦免罪犯的特权。(2) 没有一种单个的分子具有调节生长的唯一特权。 Prerogative goes back to a Latin root for a group having the right to vote first (prae- 'pre-' + rogare 'to ask') and thus came to mean "privileged rank." In current use, it refers to a right or privilege held by any person or group. A near synonym is privilege, which puts more emphasis on the fact that others do not have it. The self-justifying phrase "That's my prerogative" (for example, in reference to changing one's mind) is quite common.
