Divine Right

神赋予的权力

Doctrine of Divine Right of Kings君权神授学,是17世纪为了使君专政正当化的理论,即王权由神赋予,国王只对神负责.当文章中出现divine right 的时候,有必要联想到divine right of kings,

例如
The truth is that most top executives believe in a divine right of management.They don't want outside interference.(The Washington Post)

事实上大部分经营高层(管理人员)信奉"经营权神授"理论,不喜欢外界的干涉.
