如果什么东西因年久而被视为陈腐过时了的时候,那么就可以用这个比喻性短语“老帽子”来形容。
例句:
1.DVDs are so old hat. I only buy movies online now and download them directly.
2.I haven't been to a bank in ages. It's a bit old hat now. I do all my banking on my phone.
注意:
另一个短语“Old hand”,“老手”就是指对某事很有经验,很在行的人。这个表达没有任何负面意思。
例句:
1.She's an old hand at social media. If you want to get your message out there, she's the one to talk to.
2.I'll have a look at your bike if you like, I'm an old hand at fixing them. I've been servicing mine for years.
