"old-fashioned" 是一个形容词,主要包含三层含义:
传统或过时的物品/方式
指被现代标准认为不再流行的事物,例如老式电话机(rotary telephone)或手写信件。剑桥英语词典将其定义为"not modern; belonging to or typical of a time in the past" 。
守旧的思想观念
用于描述坚持传统价值观的人或观念,如认为女性必须做家务的保守思想。牛津英语词典特别指出该词可指"having the ideas that were popular in the past but which seem old-fashioned now" 。
怀旧式赞美
在时尚和餐饮领域,该词常带有积极含义,如复古时装(vintage clothing)或古典鸡尾酒(Old Fashioned cocktail)。《韦氏词典》强调其"of a style or method that is no longer current but is sometimes revived"的双重属性 。
语言学研究表明,该词自18世纪开始使用,最初仅表示"过去的风格",19世纪后逐渐衍生出"守旧"的贬义用法。在当代语境中,具体含义需结合使用场景判断。
