今天,美國民主黨參議院領袖舒默 (Chuck Schumer) 提出草案,希望可以以聯邦級別來使大麻(marijuana)合法化。 若通過,這將把大麻從列管毒品名單中移除。目前娛樂用大麻已在18個州開放使用,並且醫用大麻已在36個州開放。



☑️ decriminalize (v.) 使合法化,除罪化

📖 to change the law so that sth is no longer illegal

📖 to remove or reduce the criminal classification or status of sth


#️⃣ 單字來源與延伸:

decriminalize,我們可以將這個字拆解,de (拉丁字首表示去掉) + criminal (當作名詞表示罪犯) + ize (常見動詞字尾,代表…化),decriminalization 則是它的名詞用法。反義詞criminalize 當作動詞代表:使…非法。


🎙 延伸學習,與法律有關的動詞搭配:

📝合法化 legalize / legitimize / decriminalize

📝批准 approve / authorize / permit / allow

📝禁止 ban / bar / prohibit / forbid / outlaw

📝通過法律 pass the law

📝草擬法律 draft the law
