1. 认识这个词（基础篇）
词：outlive
英英释义：live or last longer than
例句：The one-child policy had outlived its usefulness.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
“outlive”的基本意思是“比…活得长”、“比…持久”，例如 He outlived his wife. Outlive 还经常和 one’s usefulness 搭配使用，表示某人或某物不再有用。想说：“你现在对我来说，已经没什么用了”，就可以说：
Now you have outlived your usefulness to me.
我们想表达“no longer useful”时，就可以用到 outlive one’s usefulness 这个常见表达。例如某个政策虽然还存在，但是实际上已经没有效力了，这时就可以说：
The one-child policy had outlived its usefulness.（注意这里的时态是过去完成时。由于计划生育政策已经被废除了，存在于废除这个动作的过去，所以使用了过去完成时。）
类似地，“在创业公司，标准的作息制度早已形同虚设”就可以说：
In startups the conventional/standard work schedule, i.e. from 9 am to 5 pm, has long since outlived its usefulness.（很多创业公司采用的是“996”模式，早 9 点到晚 9 点，一周上 6 天班。）
3. 从认识到会用（作业）
1）翻译下面的句子：
这个传统方法已经行不通了。

2）结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等，先想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达，然后再进行造句。
