the government's seal of approval = official approval 由政府正式批准
seal 在剑桥词典中的定义为 to make an agreement more certain or to approve it formally 确认,正式批准(协议)其项下例句为 The two leaders sealed their agreement with a handshake. 两位领导人握手表示达成协议。
在2022年11月的 The Economist 刊物上,也出现过这个用法,该刊物中的表述是Accusations of corruption and bribery flew; though a report commissioned by FIFA and eventually published in 2014 gave Qatar’s bid its seal of approval, with a few reservations. 该句中的“seal of approval” 就是对卡塔尔的世界杯申办权予以了认可。整句话的意思是“尽管国际足联公布了其委托独立裁定员于 2014 年完成的申办调查报告,并在持有少量保留意见的情况下,对卡塔尔的世界杯申办权予以了认可,但是,指控卡塔尔腐败和贿赂的声音依然不绝于耳。 ”
