e.g. She proceeded to recline on a chaise longue... 她接著(zhù)躺在了一個(gè)躺椅上。 e.g. Move to a reclining position on the mattress and rest for 15 minutes. 靠在墊子上休息15分鐘。
2. 向后傾斜（坐椅）；(使)（坐椅）椅背后仰 When a seat reclines or when you recline it, you lower the back so that it is more comfortable to sit in.
e.g. Air France first-class seats recline almost like beds... 法國航空公司頭等艙的坐椅可以調低成幾乎像床一樣。 e.g. Ramesh had reclined his seat and was lying back smoking... 拉梅什把椅背調低，倚在上面吸煙。
