This word is traditionally pronounced dure as in endure, but since it kind of means sour, it's slowly becoming dower.

这个词endure中读作 dure，但由于它有“酸”的意思，所以它慢慢地被念成了dower。

That result obtained, I shall leave monsieur to lay by as much as he likes for Madeleine, though the king will of course dower her, according to custom.

既然如此，我就让先生随心所欲地为玛德琳留着， 不过按照惯例， 国王当然会赠予她。

The judicious parent, having nothing to bestow or withhold but his blessing, had handsomely settled that dower upon them after a short struggle, and had informed Mr. Pocket that his wife was " a treasure for a Prince" .

这位明智的父母，除了他的祝福之外，没有什么可赐予或隐瞒的，经过短暂的挣扎，他英俊地把嫁妆交给了他们，并告诉口袋先生，他的妻子是" 王子的宝藏" 。
