v.停止；停滯不前；不景氣

The one unpardonable sin of nature is to stand still, to stagnate. 自然界最不可饒恕的罪行就是駐足不前，淤滯停止。

The financial industry is likely to stagnate or shrink in the next few years. 今后幾年，金融行業(yè)可能會停滯不前，或縮水。

If you merely repeat the same experiences you'll stagnate and your mental capacity will atrophy. 假如你只重復(fù)相同的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，就會停滯不前，腦容量會萎縮。
