“老古董”,原意是指古代或祖先留下的旧物,也叫“古董”(antique,curio),现在用来比方过期的东西(something outmoded),或保守至死不悟、思维陈腐的人(a person who is old-fashioned and likes traditional ways of doing things),与英语“old fogey”意思附近。
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.
当年时尚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
