asylum
意味: Protection granted by a state to a person who has left their own country as a refugee, especially for political reasons; historically, also an institution for the care of people with mental illness.
Asylum is one of the most politically charged words in British English. 'Asylum seeker' — a person who has applied for refugee status — is a common term in news and political debate. The right to seek asylum is enshrined in international law through the 1951 Refugee Convention. The older meaning of asylum as a mental institution ('lunatic asylum') has fallen out of formal use but persists in popular culture and idiom. The word originally meant simply a place of refuge or sanctuary.
