有媒體報(bào)道稱,隨著亞馬遜等網(wǎng)上商城的日漸興旺,傳統(tǒng)實(shí)體電子賣場(chǎng)的日子卻越來越不好過了。比如本周,RadioShack宣布,該公司將關(guān)閉1100家商店。在過去的數(shù)年里,美國地區(qū)的幾大電子產(chǎn)品零售商風(fēng)光不再,over the hill。 【上期回顧:一點(diǎn)都不值錢】 短語over the hill風(fēng)光不再。Over的意思是越過,hill 就是小山。Over the hill按字面來理解就是過了山峰。但是,over the hill不是說他爬過了山峰,而是說已經(jīng)過了鼎盛時(shí)期,開始走下坡路了。例句: 1)I hate to say it, but I can't run as fast as you guys anymore, and while I used to bounce back from collisions, these days I just get injured all the time. The fact is I'm a little over the hill to be playing contact sports. I think I'll take up golf.我不得不承認(rèn),現(xiàn)在我不能像你們跑得那么快了。以前發(fā)生沖撞,我很快就能恢復(fù),可是現(xiàn)在總是受傷。事實(shí)上,我現(xiàn)在再參加這種會(huì)磕磕碰碰的體育活動(dòng)已經(jīng)過了鼎盛時(shí)期了。我以后去打高爾夫球。 2)He is over the hill as a professional athlete. 作為一名職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員,他的巔峰時(shí)期已過。 影視情景再現(xiàn): -Bart:Orderly? Don't you get it? We're done! Finished. Over the hill. -Woody:Hey, hey, hey. Come on guys. We all knew this day was coming. -Sarge:Yeah, but now it's here. -Woody:Look, every toy goes through this. No one wants to see … -Buzz:Hey Sarge! What are you doing? -Sarge:War's over folks. Me and the boys are moving on. -Woody:Moving on? -Buzz: You're going AWOL? -Sarge:We've done our duty. Andy's grown up. Let's face it … when the trash bags come out, we army guys are the first to go. 54 1 |
