释义：[变得]恶化，堕落，退化；~ into sth. 恶化成某事

When something gets worse due to neglect or an unfortunate health problem, stuff starts to _deteriorate_ — or fall apart.

The word _deteriorate_ describes anytime something gets worse. Due to neglect, a relationship can deteriorate but so can the American highway system. Sadly, there seems to be no end to applications for the word _deteriorate_. And, the truth is at a certain age we all start deteriorating too.
