英語(yǔ)詞匯是英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)必備資料，為方便同學(xué)們復(fù)習(xí)，整理了高考英語(yǔ)易錯(cuò)易混詞匯，供同學(xué)們參考學(xué)習(xí)。
Obsolete
What you think it means: Old, out of date。你以為單詞的含義是：舊的，過時(shí)的。
What it really means: Not produced, used, or needed。單詞的真正含義是：未生產(chǎn)的，未使用的，不需要的。
You’ll see this one in the tech industry a lot. People in tech article comments will comment that a phone is obsolete when they really mean that it’s out of date. The literal definition of obsolete is an item that it isn’t produced, needed, or used anymore. An example of this is is the steam engine. It’s largely inefficient compared to today’s combustion engine and even more inefficient than the emerging electric engines. Thus, steam engines are not used, produced, or needed anymore. Yes, they are also old and out of date, but obsolete is kind of the next step after old and out of date。
這個(gè)單詞在科技行業(yè)經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)。在科技文章評(píng)論中，人們會(huì)說某個(gè)電話機(jī)obsolete(未使用的)，其實(shí)他們是想說電話機(jī)過時(shí)了。Obsolete的字面定義是指某物未被生產(chǎn)、不被需要或不再使用。一個(gè)例子就是蒸汽機(jī)。跟如今的內(nèi)燃機(jī)相比，蒸汽機(jī)相當(dāng)不給力，甚至都比不上新興的電發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī);因此，蒸汽機(jī)是不被使用的、不被生產(chǎn)的或不再被需要的。沒錯(cuò)，蒸汽機(jī)也是舊的、過時(shí)的，但obsolete是“舊”與“過時(shí)”更后一步的階段了。
