B:我是 Kat! 今天我们学点什么呢，杨琳？

B:But first we have "Learn a Word". Right?
A:没错！先来学个词儿！
Learn A Word out of date

Out of date 意思是过时的。His contact information is out of date. 他的联络方式已经变了。Technology companies say the 25-year-old federal Internet privacy law is out of date. 高科技公司说，有关互联网隐私的联邦法律是25年制订的，已经过时了。The British government warned that computer lessons offered in schools are out of date. 英国政府警告说，目前学校里教授的电脑课程已经过时了。With all the smart phones on the market, conventional cell phones seem to be out of date. 跟智能手机相比，普通手机好象有些过时了。好的，今天我们学习的词是out of date, out of date, out of date.
A:现在社会日新月异，要想不out of date, 真的不容易! 有时候你会突然感觉，Oh my Gosh, my hairstyle is out of date. My phone is out of date. Even what I learned at school is out of date! 唉! 不是我不明白，这世界变化快啊!
B:Don't worry, Yanglin, there are things in life that can stand the test of time. If your style is classy, you'll never go out of date.
A:也对。而且你发现了么，Kat, 潮流总是来回打转。拿衣服来说，现在流行的蝙蝠袖，铅笔裤，好像就是我妈年轻时的潮流哦!
B:Exactly! So you can be really fashionable in your Mom's leggings. Who would have thought of that!
A:对啊，这样岂不是很省钱？穿妈妈的衣服来个复古风!
B:Good idea!
A:好了，咱们继续听节目吧。
B:Let's listen to Words and Idioms.
