用法
- 'Year by year, with each passing year' - 产量逐年增长 (chǎnliàng zhúnián zēngzhǎng) output rises year by year.
- Formal, report/statistics register; pairs with trend verbs 增长/上升/下降. Compare 逐渐 (zhújiàn, gradually) and 逐步 (zhúbù, step by step), which don't specify the yearly interval.
- Same 逐 pattern as 逐月 (month by month), 逐日 (day by day).
