   每次小伙伴聚会都是吃饭,K歌,就不能整点新鲜的活动?比如一起去爬山呀,逛公园呀等等。英文如何表达老套呢?

  1. Fuddy-duddy如果想说某个人非常不前卫,思想和态度都特别保守,我们可以称他为fuddy-duddy,中文可以说是“老古板”。
  例:He's just an old fuddy-duddy.
  他就是个老古板。
  2. Cut and dried有些事情不用想就知道了答案,做事总爱搬出老一套。这种情况可以用cut and dried来形容,表示已经没什么新意了。
  例:It was1 all cut and dried - the same old speakers2 saying3 the same things they said4 last year.
  什么都是老一套。发言的都还是去年那些人,讲的话也跟去年一样。
  3. Corny陈芝麻烂谷子的事情又拿出来抖了…… corny本身有“谷类的”意思,这里它的意思是指“老套的、老土的”。
  例:I know it sounds corny, but it really was love at first sight5!
  我知道这听上去很老土,但是那时真的是一见钟情。
  4. Old-schoolOld-school, 可不是“老学校”的意思。它既有“老派的,守旧的”意思,也能表示“传统的,怀旧的”含义。
  例:We had6 an old-school coach7 who made8 us run two kilometers9 every day.
  我们的教练很老派,每天都让我们跑两公里。
  5. Same old story周而复始,事情一遍又一遍地发生着,可是每次都是一个情况,教人厌倦至极!
  例:I'm tired of it, the same old story.
  我已经厌倦了,都是老一套。
