- 1（暫時性的）禁令、暫停令
A moratorium is an official pause on an activity for a period of time, usually decided by a government, company, or organization — not a full stop forever, just 'not right now.' For example, 'a moratorium on the death penalty' means executions are stopped for now, and 'a moratorium on new building' means no new buildings can start for a while. It's a formal word, common in news and government contexts.
