ENGLISH IDIOMS: behind the times

in persian •  7 years ago 

behind the times

از زمانه عقب افتاده

(Old-fashioned; not keeping up with modern life)

Some individuals, despite having academic degrees, are in fact behind the times, because they are not sufficiently familiar with the Internet and the use of computers.

بعضی از افراد، علیرغم داشتن درجه‌ی دانشگاهی، در حقیقت، از زمان عقب هستند، چون به‌قدر کافی با اینترنت و کاربرد کامپیوتر آشنا نیستند.

مثال دیگر:

It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep pace with the modern technology. Even the latest gadgets look behind the times after a relatively short period of time.

همگام ماندن با فناوری مدرن روز به روز دشوارتر می‌شود. حتی جدیدترین دستگاه‌ها در مدت زمان نسبتاً کوتاهی از زمان عقب می‌مانند.
