Buggy是四輪的輕便馬車。在火車、汽車和飛機(jī)還沒發(fā)明之前,美國人運(yùn)輸通常就靠這種馬拉的車子。從大約1790年起人們開始用horse-and-buggy days來指以往的歲月。
【例句】
The post-industrial crisis always reminds citizens of the horse-and-buggy days.
后工業(yè)時(shí)代的危機(jī)總是能讓人們回想起以往的歲月。
Some people look back to the horse-and-buggy days as a better time than now. But remember those were the days before we had movies, TV, modern medicine and all the other things that make life a lot easier.
有些人懷舊;老是覺得今不如昔,但是你可別忘記那時(shí)人們是沒有電影、電視、現(xiàn)代醫(yī)藥以及種種生活便利設(shè)施的。
