<< review queue entry 36491 >> I have used the Chinese word for (degree of) reduction. There is also a verb form; 'draw down' Editor: It's difficult to be sure what you are suggesting that we do. We already have 降幅 in the dictionary, and the definition is accurate, I think. We could add some single-word synonyms, perhaps -- "decline" and "drop" would be ok in translating the some of the example sentences I looked at. "drawdown" is a word that is used in specific contexts -- military ("drawdown of troops"), hydrology and finance. As a verb, "draw down" is transitive, whereas "decline" and "drop" are intransitive. You might be able to make a case that 降幅 "drawdown" is used in these same contexts, with the transitive sense. If so, please resubmit, with examples (Chinese sentences). |
