Main Topic: over the hill

本日主題:  (請看內文,會更清楚喔!!!)

 

"Over the hill" means passing the peak of someone’s life, career or going over 40 on age.  When you heard someone said "Dwayne Wade" is over the hill, it means he is not as good as how he played in his young ages. However it does not mean playing terribly, instead decaying from his prime time. Speaking to age, we describe people going over 40 is over the hill because 40 is considered mid-point in life.

"Over the hill" 的意思是過了人生、事業上的巔峰期或者是四十歲之後年紀當你聽到"Dwayne Wade"已經過了他的巔峰期,其意思為他已經不像年輕時那麼厲害了,這不意味著他打得很差,只是沒有巔峰狀態打的那麼好而已。談到年紀方面,我們會用over the hill去形容年紀過了40歲,因為40歲通常被認為是人生的一半了,故過了40 歲你就開始走下坡。

"Over the hill" is quite expressive. Hill is a small mountain and has a summit. The sections of reaching the summit and leaving the summit are called uphill and downhill respectively. Moreover, "over the hill" refers to the section of leaving the summit that symbolizes passing the peak.

"Over the hill" 是非常具有畫面的。Hill是小山的意思,所以他有一個頂端的位置。一共有兩個區域我們稱之為hill,一個是上山的那段路,一個是通過頂端的下山那段路。"over the hill"意指離開山頂的那一個部分,象徵著已經過了巔峰期了
