「兩立」意指勢不兩立、無法並存,通常用於形容敵對雙方,最著名典故出自三國時期諸葛亮《後出師表》中的「漢賊不兩立」,指蜀漢與曹魏(賊)不能同時存在,表達了蜀漢政權繼承漢朝正統,對曹魏勢不兩立的決心。 


「被拒之門外/ 團體光顧名單 除名」:川普政府已對拒絕向美國移民及海關執法局 (ICE) 特工提供房間的明尼蘇達州漢普頓酒店採取行動,立即將該酒店從 400 多萬聯邦僱員的批准住宿名單中除名。

An approved list is a curated roster of vetted entities (like vendors, investments, or suppliers) that an organization authorizes for specific transactions, ensuring quality, compliance, and alignment with standards, acting as a shortcut to qualified options for internal teams or clients, preventing risky choices. 
Key Meanings & Contexts:
  • Approved Vendor List (AVL/ASL): A company's list of suppliers for goods/services that meet quality, financial, and compliance checks, streamlining procurement.
  • Approved Investment List (Legal List): A list of pre-vetted stocks, bonds, or funds a broker can recommend, ensuring they fit client risk profiles.
  • Approved Product List (APL): A selection of researched financial products financial advisors can suggest to clients.
  • Approved Manufacturer List (AML): Similar to AVL, but specifically for manufacturers providing parts or components for production. 
Purpose of an Approved List:
  • Risk Management: Reduces exposure to unreliable or non-compliant partners/products.
  • Efficiency: Speeds up decision-making by providing ready-made, trusted options.
  • Quality Control: Ensures consistency and adherence to company standards.
  • Compliance: Helps meet regulatory or internal governance requirements. 

In essence, it's a "whitelist" or "pre-vetted roster" that signifies trust and qualification for a specific purpose, saving time and ensuring standards are met.
