喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A slightly fancy way to say something is no longer modern or fashionable. Clothes, slang, a singer, or an idea can be passé. It feels a bit catty, a bit magazine-like. From French passé, “passed”, the past participle of passer. Though actually younger people may just say “that’s so last year”, and in Taiwan 過氣 is the everyday hook; passé can sound as if you are trying to sound French. The accent on the e is often dropped in casual English, but the French look is part of the word. It is not “passed” as in “I passed the test”, and it is not about walking past someone.

    過氣、過時。講明星、穿著時台灣很常說「過氣」。
