<< review queue entry 36355 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> Sorry, I somehow left out 性 in my last suggestion! Although I guess you could also do an entry for 退行 as "regress"? http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%A8%E4%B8%81%E9%A0%93%E8%88%9E%E8%B9%88%E7%97%87 Editor: to regress 催眠术令人年龄退行 to recede 对星系退行速度超光速的理解 to degenerate: "Huntington's disease, ... is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder" [Wikipedia] and from the Chinese Wp article you quoted ... 亨丁頓舞蹈症...是一種遺傳性神經退行性疾病 I don't know what you mean by "regressive disease". There are far fewer google hits for "regressive disease" than "degenerative disease". One of the examples of "regressive disease" says: "obesity is a 'regressive disease'–disproportionately affecting the poor and minorities." Was that the sense of "regressive" you intended? |
