Question

amnesty n.大赦；特赦 (1) 造反的人经大赦释放回家。(2) 他定期向大赦国际捐款。(3) 第二点，他们一定要依照法律的程序来香港，千万不要听信会有特赦，今日没有，将来也不会有。(4) 不要用国际特赦组织的卡片，也不要提到国际特赦组织。 Amnesty sounds a little like "amnesia," and that's because in its more specific sense amnesty means "forgetting." The government will essentially forget about whatever crime was committed, or whatever horrible things were said. As part of a truce, amnesty can be granted to opposition forces in civil disputes. Amnesty to illegal aliens means the government will deliberately overlook their illegal entry to the country. There can also be a period of amnesty when people can turn in something that they would otherwise get in trouble for. "The city offered a period of amnesty for everyone to turn in illegal guns."
