今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 allay.

allay 的意思是緩解、平息。 Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said she was withdrawing the much-protested bill that would permit criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial "to fully allay public concerns." 香港特別行政區(qū)行政長官林鄭月娥表示，她將撤回引起強烈抗議的允許犯罪嫌疑人被送往中國大陸接受審判的法案，以“充分消除公眾的擔(dān)憂”。

The British government is planning to announce liberalization of residency rules for European nationals in Britain to allay concerns about their status should Britain leave the European Union without a deal. 英國政府正計劃宣布對在英國的歐洲國民放開居住規(guī)定，以減輕在英國無協(xié)議脫歐的情況下這些人對自己身份的擔(dān)憂。
