redemption
意味: The act of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil; the process of regaining something lost or making amends for past wrongs.
Redemption has powerful religious origins — in Christian theology, it refers to humanity's salvation through Christ. In secular usage, it describes the recovery of something valuable (the redemption of a pledge or voucher), or more commonly, a person's moral recovery after failure or disgrace. The narrative arc of fall and redemption is one of the most enduring in literature and media. Common collocations include 'seek redemption,' 'beyond redemption,' 'a story of redemption,' and 'the redemption of.'
