突破英語口語練習(xí)：“過氣”英語怎么說？

簡單點的說法：
①He’s no longer popular.
高級一點：
②He's no longer in his prime.或He's now past his prime.（已過鼎盛期）
③He had his moments.（曾有過輝煌）
④He's a has-been.（過氣人物）
 
可以表達“過氣”的詞組：
1 a has-been
a has-been指過氣的人物。
If you describe someone as a has-been, you are indicating in an unkind way that they were important or respected in the past, but they are not now.
例句：
He became famous overnight / at that time, but now he is just a has-been.
他那時候一夜成名，但現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)過氣了。
 
2 over the hill
over the hill指風(fēng)光不再，開始走下坡路。
從字面意思看，這個短語就是翻過山坡的意思，翻過山坡不就是要走下坡路了嘛。用來形容人的時候，就是指已經(jīng)過了鼎盛時期了，開始慢慢往下走了。
例句：
I don't think of myself as being over the hill yet.
我不認(rèn)為我已經(jīng)在走下坡路了。
 
3 a spent force
a spent force指過氣、昨日黃花。
釋義：Someone who no longer has the power or influence he once had.
例句：
The new album is proof that this band is not a spent force just yet.
新專輯證明這支樂隊還遠(yuǎn)沒有過氣。
 
4 over party
over party指某人或某風(fēng)潮過氣了，在俚語中可理解為人走茶涼。
釋義：When a trend or a person is over.
例句：
He's over party.
他過氣了。
She should go to her own over party.
她過氣了。
