1. 1有助復原的、休養的

    Recuperative describes something that helps a person or a thing get strong again after being weak, ill, or worn out. Doctors talk about recuperative powers: the body's own ability to heal. A quiet week by the sea can be recuperative; the rest itself is doing the repairing. It is a fairly formal, grown-up word, more at home in a medical note than in chat. It is about the help toward getting better, not the sick person. We do not usually say he is recuperative. We say he is recuperating, and the sleep or the medicine is recuperative.
