特赦權英文點講?

法國有一個婦人射殺丈夫,被判監十年,是否罪有應得?
超過40萬人簽署請願信,要求總統動用特赦權(prerogative of mercy),因為她已經遭丈夫毆打和強暴長達47年,三名女兒也曾被丈夫強姦,兒子也因不堪虐待而自殺身亡。
Mercy即是中文的「慈悲、憐憫、寬容」。例如「安樂死」的英文稱為mercy killing,憐憫患有不治之症、飽受肉體痛苦的人,可以無痛地死去。
名詞mercy常配甚麼動詞和介詞?
「對某人表示憐憫」,可以說to show mercy to/towards someone。
例句:
The terrorists showed no mercy to their hostages.
恐怖分子對人質毫不留情。
「寬待某人」可以說to have mercy on someone。
例句:
The public appealed to the judge to have mercy on the poor woman.
公眾請求法官寬恕那可憐的婦人。

  1. This way my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's autobiography starts with this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to obtain anything they want.

    These are the EXACT same SECRETS lots of famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    That's really because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this thought has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years ago, while riding an unregistered, garbage bucket of a car without a license and with $3.20 in his pocket.

    "I'm so frustrated with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I become successful?"

    You've been a part of those those conversations, ain't it so?

    Your very own success story is waiting to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

    WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
