Sian
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from AYYBLOG Learning English. I’m Sian.
Feifei
大傢好，我是馮菲菲。
Sian
What on earth are you looking for, Feifei? Why are you taking everything out of your bag?
Feifei
I’m just looking for a stamp. 我記得我的包裡有一張郵票，可怎麼就不見瞭呢？
Sian
A stamp? What do you want a stamp for?
Feifei
I’ve written a letter to my family and I want to get it in the post before midday.
Sian
You’ve written a letter? That’s a bit old-school isn’t it?
Feifei
‘Old-school’? Who are you calling ‘old-school’? I’m younger than you!
Sian
Yeah but writing letters is quite old-school, you know – it’s a bit old-fashioned. Most people just email or send instant messages nowadays.
Feifei
Yes, but it’s so nice to get a real letter in the post! Old-school 這個表達近些年使用頻率很高，在英式英語裡，old-school 多被用來描述以往常見的事情或人，而且強調事情或人的觀念、行為比較傳統和老派。咱們先來聽幾個例句。
Examples
Woah! That haircut is so old-school!
You want to go roller-skating tonight? Man, that’s so old-school!
Our new teacher is a bit old-school in his approach, but he always gets good results.
Feifei
這麼說，old-school 的事情都是不好的瞭？
Sian
No, it doesn’t have to be. It can also be used as a compliment – to talk about something from the past that you admire. Or to describe something you feel nostalgic about.
Feifei
其實，在現代英語裡，年青人更多地用 old-school 來描述曾經發生或流行過的，令人羨慕的往事，或令人懷舊的事情。
Examples
I love your new coat – it’s so old-school!
Look at these old-school computer games, aren’t they awesome?!
Feifei
Exactly, I think it’s a good thing to be old-school. If only I could find that stamp.
Sian
Why don’t you just fax it?
Feifei
Well, that really would be old-school, Sian. Get with the times!
Sian
Hmmm.
