adj.|ancient/oldfangled;老式的;過時的;守舊的
"old-fashioned" 是一個形容詞,主要包含三層含義:
傳統或過時的物品/方式
指被現代标準認為不再流行的事物,例如老式電話機(rotary telephone)或手寫信件。劍橋英語詞典将其定義為"not modern; belonging to or typical of a time in the past" 。
守舊的思想觀念
用于描述堅持傳統價值觀的人或觀念,如認為女性必須做家務的保守思想。牛津英語詞典特别指出該詞可指"having the ideas that were popular in the past but which seem old-fashioned now" 。
懷舊式贊美
在時尚和餐飲領域,該詞常帶有積極含義,如複古時裝(vintage clothing)或古典雞尾酒(Old Fashioned cocktail)。《韋氏詞典》強調其"of a style or method that is no longer current but is sometimes revived"的雙重屬性 。
語言學研究表明,該詞自18世紀開始使用,最初僅表示"過去的風格",19世紀後逐漸衍生出"守舊"的貶義用法。在當代語境中,具體含義需結合使用場景判斷。
