核心畫面
Picture someone who has every right to hold you to something — a fee, a rule, a deadline, a claim — and who deliberately puts that hold down.

可以想成有一方本來完全有資格「抓著」某樣東西不放——一筆費用、一條規定、一個期限、一項權利——而他決定把手鬆開。東西並沒有被取消或刪掉：費用還在價目表上，規定還寫在條文裡，只是這一次，他正式宣告不追究、不主張。waive 就像是一隻本來抓得很緊、也抓得很有道理的手，自己張開放掉。原始詞典資料10 筆記錄
