trying to make this (marginally) better

1. back in the days, Rich didn't like "moderate". It doesn't seem to add much.

2. "dwindle"--I'd like to have a gloss to mirror the idea of "contract, grow smaller" that is in 收斂.
or "to fade"?

因局斗的關係笑容收斂許多 (his smile didn't vanish but diminished several degrees)

3. /to vanish/to make vanish/--transitive use leads to /to curb/

4. for your consideration:
上了國中後他確實收斂許多
he has settled down, he has learned to control himself-- does this need a gloss?

Editor: I left a comment.
Diff:
- 收斂 收敛 [shou1 lian3] /to vanish/to moderate/to exercise restraint/to curb (one's mirth, arrogance etc)/to astringe/(math.) to converge/
+ 收斂 收敛 [shou1 lian3] /to dwindle/to vanish/to make vanish/to exercise restraint/to curb (one's mirth, arrogance etc)/to astringe/(math.) to converge/
