一课译词
老掉牙 - out-of-date means of transportation
1 0 0
众所周知，人老了牙齿也会跟着老化、脱落，而形容一个人“老掉牙的模样”就是比喻一个人上了年纪的模样。
“老掉牙”，中文俗语，用来表示“very old”、或比喻“陈旧过时（out-of-date; obsolete）”,例如“老掉牙的交通工具”可以翻译为“out-of-date means of transportation”。
“老掉牙”与英文习语“old as Adam”意思相近，都可以表示“旧的，过时的”的意思。
例句：
- 你给我们讲了一个老掉牙的笑话。
- That joke you told us is as old as Adam.
- That joke you told us is as old as Adam.
- 这个老掉牙的词现在已经不用了。
- This obsolete expression is already out of use.
