| 用法说明 | 在正式场合使用'拒绝'来拒绝提议或请求。在非正式场合，'拒绝'更常用。不要把'拒绝'和'减少'混淆——前者涉及拒绝，而后者指的是减少。Use 'decline' in formal settings to refuse an offer or request. In informal contexts, 'turn down' is more common. Don't confuse 'decline' with 'decrease'—the former involves refusal, while the latter refers to reduction. | 'Descent' 这个词可以用在很多场合，比如形容人或物往下走、飞机的降落，或者指家谱、祖先。虽然它可以用在比较随意的场合，但如果想更口语化一点，也可以用别的词。Use 'descent' when referring to going down physically or figuratively. It's neutral and can be used in both formal and casual contexts, but avoid it in very informal conversations. | Use 'downward slope' to describe terrain or paths. It's neutral and suitable for both casual and formal contexts. |
