respite n.暂缓；缓刑vt.延迟；推延 (1) 他的神圣母亲并没有允许他暂缓，直到他已经离开拥有各种异像，体验和入迷的梦的整个二元领域为止。 Respite may look like it rhymes with despite, but this word has a stress on its first syllable (RES-pit). It comes from the Latin word respectus, meaning refuge, but we almost always use respite to describe a time, not a place, of relief. If you've been fighting with your partner, a visit from a friend might offer a brief respite from the argument, but the fight will pick up again when she leaves.
