<< review queue entry 36192 - submitted by 'stuartwesterman' >> To degrade in this context is correct, however archaic. A more appropriate, contemporary translation is to downgrade. ---------------------------------------------- Editor: The current definition was almost certainly copied from dict.cn, which has many off-the-mark definitions. "downgrade" is defined in one source as: Reduce to a lower grade, rank, or level of importance e.g. "some jobs had gradually been downgraded from skilled to semiskilled" and I'm not sure that it's appropriate for 降级 -- send an example if you have one. There seem to be quite a few technical terms using the "degrade/degradation" sense. e.g. 优雅降级 graceful degradation |
