今天我们要学的词是 allay.

allay 的意思是缓解、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." 香港特别行政区行政长官林郑月娥表示，她将撤回引起强烈抗议的允许犯罪嫌疑人被送往中国大陆接受审判的法案，以“充分消除公众的担忧”。

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. 英国政府正计划宣布对在英国的欧洲国民放开居住规定，以减轻在英国无协议脱欧的情况下这些人对自己身份的担忧。
