Chinese (traditional) ..... 原指君主頒發的特許證,授權個人經由報復或賠償損害之方式,捕押他國人民或其貨物;後來則專指由政府授予個人的任何許可證或特別委任狀,旨在同意此人於海上指揮武裝船艦以捕押敵船與貨物。 |
Dutch ..... Oorspronkelijk brieven afgegeven door een soeverein die iemand toestemming geven de onderdanen van een vreemde staat ondergeschikt te maken, of hun goederen in beslag te nemen, bij wijze van vergelding of represaille. Later vooral toestemming of buitengewone opdracht van een regering aan iemand om op een bewapend schip het bevel te voeren en vijandelijke schepen en goederen te veroveren. |
German ..... Ursprünglich ein Schreiben, mit dem ein Herrscher jemanden ermächtigte, zur Entschädigung oder Vergeltung Bürger eines anderen Landes festzunehmen oder deren Waren zu beschlagnahmen; später ausdrücklich jeder von einer Regierung an eine Privatperson erteilte Freibrief oder Auftrag, ein bewaffnetes Schiff zu kommandieren und sich Schiffe oder Handelsware des Gegners anzueignen. |
Spanish ..... Originalmente cartas otorgadas por un soberano autorizando a un individuo a tomar prisioneros a súbditos de un estado extranjero o apropiarse de sus mercancías, como venganza o represalia por agravios; más adelante, específicamente, cualquier licencia o comisión extraordinaria concedida por un gobierno a una persona para comandar un navío armado a fin de apropiarse de los barcos y mercancías de un enemigo. |
