且不論選民反對的理由為何,民調數字與政治人物、好萊塢明星的加持,過去數月來,第八案始終被認定不可能通過。

What is the meaning of 加持? it's used by a Taiwanese author..I have never heard of this word. Thanks!

blessing


说明:
加持,佛教用语,就是有道行之人对饰物或本人,进行的祝福。
From the context, it seems to mean "support", "boost", etc.

Well, I'm not from Taiwan, so we'd better wait for some confirmation from a Taiwan native.

endorsement


说明:
受laoloup答案的启发,这里用endorsement更贴切。

给答者的备注
提问者: Thanks for the answer. However, the word "endorsement" sounds like a legal term that refers to the signing of a document or something which is "officially" approved while in the article, there's no such meaning... should I just use "support" then?


同仁对此翻译的评论(以及回答者的回复)
同意  orientalhorizon: 从现有的上下文来看,不象是在借用佛教用语,怀疑就是“支持”。
