Senile and senility are examples of pejoration, the process by which a word's meaning changes for the worse over time.Even thoughsenile (first recorded in 1661) and senility (first recorded in 1778) initially had neutral senses such as "pertaining to old age,” it is probable that the weakness (in particular the mental weakness) that sometimes accompanies old age eventually caused negative senses to predominate.Certainly some pejorative associations were present in Latinsenīlis, "relating to an old man, aged,” the ultimate source of both words, and in related Latin words such assenēscere, which could mean "to deteriorate with age.” But it seems that pejorative associations have taken over these words in English through general usage,perhaps because average life expectancy has risen steadily over the years.在较早的文学作品中人们可以找到形如“判断力Senile（老练） 成熟”和“精力旺盛的有魄力的 Senility（老态龙钟） ”的短语，表明这两个词一直没有表示他们流行的消极的含义。 Senile 和 senility 是词义转贬的范例， 即一个词的意思随时间变化变得越来越坏。尽管senile （首次记载于1661年）和 senility （首次记载于1778年）最初具有中性的意义，例如“关于老年的”， 可能是伴随老年出现的衰弱（特别是智力衰弱）最终导致了反面的意思居支配地位。当然有一些词义转贬的联系表现在拉丁文中的senilis （“关于老人的，老年的”），是这两个词的最早的词源， 和与之相关的拉丁词如senecer ，意为“随年纪恶化”。 但是看起来在英语中通过广泛的使用词义转贬的联系已经取代了这些词，可能是由于平均估计寿命随时代发展稳步上升〔senility〕The state of being senile.老年：老年的状态〔elderly〕Being past middle age and approaching old age; rather old.上了年纪的：已过中年的，接近老年的；年岁大的，年老的〔elderly〕Of, relating to, or characteristic of older persons or life in later years.老年的：关于老年人的或已过了壮年的生活的，属于老年人的或已过了壮年的生活的，或具有老年人和老年生活特点的〔gerodontics〕The branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and problems specific to the aged.老年牙医学：牙科学分支，专门研究老年人牙病和问题的诊断、预防和治疗〔senopia〕Improvement of near vision sometimes occurring in the aged because of swelling of the crystalline lens in incipient cataract.老年视减退现象：经常发生在老年人中的由于早期白内障的晶状体肿胀而产生的近距离视力的增强〔Beauvoir〕French writer, existentialist, and feminist whose works includeThe Second Sex (1949) and The Coming of Age (1970), a study of how different cultures view old age. 博瓦尔，西蒙尼·德：(1908-1986) 法国作家、存在主义者和女权主义者，其作品有《第二性》 （1949年）和对不同文化如何看待年老的研究 《老年的到来》 （1970年） 〔elderly〕These adjectives are compared as they mean far along in years or life.One who iselderly is between middle age and old age: 这些形容词都表示年纪迟暮的或生活经历多的，但是各有不同。用elderly 来形容一个人是指他处于中年和老年之间： 〔calm〕"I am . . . peaceful as old age tonight" (Robert Browning).“今晚，我如步入老年那样平静” （罗伯特·勃朗宁）〔demographics〕The demographics of the Southwest indicate a growing population of older consumers.西南部的人口统计状况显示了老年消费者数量的增长〔old〕Having or exhibiting the physical characteristics of age:看起来年老的：表现出老年的生理特征或看来已老的：〔senility〕The mental and physical deterioration characteristic of old age.衰老：作为老年特征的智力和身体的恶化〔elderly〕The Western world has yet to respect the aged members of its society as the Japanese do.
