old fogey 老古董

16

“老古董”,本意是指古代或先人留下的旧物,也叫“古玩”(antique,curio),现在用来比喻过时的东西(something outmoded),或守旧顽固不化、思想陈旧的人(a person who is old-fashioned and likes traditional ways of doing things),与英文“old fogey”意思相近。

例句:

16岁的人觉得年过25岁的都是老古董。

When you're 16, anyone over 25 is an old fogey.

当年时髦的东西现在变成了老古董。

Things in vogue years ago now are outmoded.

祖上留下来的老古董

Antiques left by one's ancestors
