stagnation
🇺🇸 /stæɡnˈeɪʃʌn/
🇬🇧 /stæɡˈneɪʃn̩/
stagnation 是“停滞、停滞不前”:既可指水等缺乏流动,也常指活动、发展或经济长期没有进展。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一潭不流动的水:水一旦停住,就会变得不活跃;这个“没有流动、没有前进”的核心概念,进一步引申为经济、工业或个人发展陷入停滞。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把 stagnation 只理解成经济学术语;它也可以用于水循环等实际情境,但“缺乏进展”是阅读中更常见的引申义。
- 学习时可先掌握“经济或发展停滞”这一核心义,再记住它也能具体表示液体不流动。

noun

core 停滞不前📖 指活动、发展或进步长时间没有明显变化,像一潭不流动的水一样陷入停滞。常用于经济、工业、事业或社会发展等抽象领域。💡 常用“economic/industrial stagnation”或“the stagnation of + 行业、经济或发展对象”。它表示持续缺乏进展,不只是暂时放慢,因此不要把它和普通的“delay”或短期低迷完全等同。这个词通常比简单的“no progress”更正式、更适合分析性语境。countable uncountableThe country has struggled with economic stagnation for more than a decade.这个国家十多年来一直受到经济停滞的困扰。Industrial stagnation has made it difficult for young workers to find good jobs.工业停滞使年轻工人很难找到好工作。

common 缺乏流动📖 指水或其他液体停在那里不流动;这种静止状态可能使环境变得不卫生或不利于安全。💡 常用“the stagnation of + water/liquid”或“water stagnation”来说明具体的液体不流动。这里强调的是物理上的循环或流动停止,不要误解成液体已经完全消失。这个义项多见于工程、卫生和环境说明等较正式的语境。countable uncountableRegularly replacing the water prevents stagnation in the storage tank.定期更换水可以防止储水箱里的水停滞。

🌳 词源
源自拉丁语 stagnatus,意为“停滞的”,再追溯到表示“静止的水”的 stāgnum。
From stagnate + -ation (suffix denoting an action or process, or its result), Stagnate is derived from stagnāt-, the participial stem of Latin stagnāre, the present active infinitive of stāgnō (“of waters: to cover the land as a lake, to become a pool, to stagnate”), from stāgnum (“body of standing water (lake, swamp, etc.)”) (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂g- (“to drip; to seep”)) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs).
