當(dāng)今的世界瞬息萬變,每天都不斷有新事物產(chǎn)生,也有舊事物被淘汰.那么,"過時的東西"在英語里要怎么表達(dá)呢?
The famous British "stiff upper lip" has become a thing of the past, according to a survey on Thursday which found Britons are no longer embarrassed to shed a tear or be affectionate in public.
上周四公布的一項調(diào)查稱,英國人不茍言笑的著名形象如今已成為過去.調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),英國人已不再羞于當(dāng)眾落淚或流露感情.
這里,"a thing of the past"就是指"往事,過時的事物".
sth that no longer happens or exists
Everybody sends emails these days. Letter-writting has become a thing of the past.如今大家都發(fā)電子郵件,寫信早已過時了.
