今日選字: pardon and amnesty
pardon and amnesty 兩者的差異,說法多有不同,在此採美國白宮的版本。
美國白宮網頁上針對美國總統赦免權(The Pardon Power)的其中兩種類型 amnesty and pardon,定義如下:
A pardon releases a person from punishment and restores all civil liberties. 特赦是釋放某人免於懲罰,並恢復其所有公民權利。
Amnesty is the same as the pardon but is extended to an entire class of individuals. 大赦與特赦相同,但適用對象是整個群體或特定類別的人。
