Re: [單字] cumulative vs. accumulative
※ 引述《home6110 (TreeMan)》之銘言：
: 如題: cumulative: increaing gradually as a result of more and more additions.
: accumulative: increasing gradually.
: 從Macmillan抄下的解釋
: 嗯....我還真看不出來有什麼不同.
: 感謝回答。
非常難講。大多數狀況下其實兩者可混用。
從語感方面仔細判斷，我的結論如下：
Cumulative較被用在"持續疊加"的程序/狀況上
Years of cumulative neglect have made this once proud mansion a decrepit shell.
多年的忽視使這曾光輝一時的豪宅變成了破爛的空殼。
[多年"持續"忽視 -> 光輝變破爛]
accumulative則較被用在"疊加完"的結果上
Years of accumulative neglect have resulted in ankle-deep garbage.
多年的忽視導致垃圾淹沒腳踝。
[多年持續忽視的"結果" -> 垃圾堆]
拋磚引玉~
