趣味英语:“我的时代已经结束了”

http://www.sina.com.cn 2007年11月19日 10:55   信息时报

  When someone’s “time is over,” it means that they have previously been famous or successful in some way, but now, the situation has changed and they will no longer be so famous or successful.

  意思是结束了。

  选自电影 《卢旺达饭店》Hotel Rwanda

  例句:

  1.Son, I used to be a very successful business man. But I’m old, my time is over, it’s your time to take over of the business.

  孩子,我曾经是个成功的商人。但我老了,我的时代已经结束了,该你接手生意了。

  2.Why do they play all those old bands on the radio? Their time is over, I want to hear new music.

  为什么收音机里总播那些老乐队的曲子?他们的时代已经结束了,我想听新的音乐。

  3.“Their time is soon over.”
