/tə kəˈmjuːt ˈpʌnɪʃmənt/ – Phrase
Definition: giảm nhẹ hình phạt.
A more thorough explanation: To commute punishment means to reduce or change a criminal sentence, such as a prison term or fine, to a less severe punishment. This can be done by a government official, such as a governor or president, through the use of their executive clemency powers.
Example: The judge decided to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment.
