Over the hill常用来形容人的衰老，也可以指陈旧的东西，比如汽车，技术等等。
望采纳，谢谢
He's over the hill! Over的意思是越过，hill 就是小山。Over the hill按字面来理解就是过了山峰。但是，说一个人over the hill不是说他爬过了山峰，而是说他已经过了壮年时期，体力开始走下坡路了。
Over the hill这个习惯用语是比较新的，在20世纪50年代才开始普遍使用。下面是一个例句。这是一个人在对他的朋友说，他因为体力不支而不得不退出美式足球队。
例句-1：I hate to say it, but I can't run as fast as you guys anymore, and while I used to bounce back from collisions, these days I just get injured all the time. The fact is I'm a little over the hill to be playing contact sports. I think I'll take up golf.
这个人说：我不得不承认，现在我不能像你们跑得那么快了。以前发生冲撞，我很快就能恢复，可是现在总是受伤。事实上，我现在再参加这种会磕磕碰碰的体育活动年龄有点太大了。我以后去打高尔夫球。
******
其实，老年人有老年人的优势，上了年纪的人在体力方面可能是over the hill，但是一般来说他们更有经验，更有智慧。对，在这方面他们不是over the hill，而是达到了顶峰 - on top of the hill。对。Over the hill常用来形容人的衰老，但是也可以指陈旧的东西，比如汽车，技术等等。
我们再来听一个例句。这是一位家庭主妇在说他们家的一样东西太旧了，该换新的了。
例句-2：Look at these dishes; they're still dirty. Even though they've been through the dishwashing machine, we're going to have to redo them by hand. This dishwasher used to work very well but I guess it's over the hill now. Time to get a new one.
这位主妇说：看看这些盘子，都在洗碗机里洗过了，可是还很脏。我们只好用手再洗一次。这个洗碗机以前很好用，我想这机器太旧了。该买个新的了。

萧华，你最近去过办公室附近的中餐馆吗？上个星期才去过。不过有点失望。那家饭馆大不如从前了。我也听说自从换了老板以后，那饭馆一天不如一天。It's going downhill。Downhill 的字面意思是走下坡路，有衰老、恶化的意思。
下面我们来听一个例句。有个店主说，由于城里开了几家大的商店，他的生意越来越难做。
例句-3：Ever since that huge department store came into town, my business has gone downhill. I can't compete with their product range or their prices. My old customers try to be loyal but after a while they can't afford to be.
这位店主说：自从城里开了那家大百货商店以后，我的生意就越来越差了。不论是商品种类还是在价格上，我们都竞争不过他们。我的一些老顾客设法还是到我这儿来买东西，可是过了一段时间，他们也不能老这样作了。
******
作为习惯用语，go downhill有衰落的意思。这跟中文有相似之处。在中文里“下”也常常表示衰落。比如江河日下，每况愈下。“上”则代表繁荣和兴旺，比如蒸蒸日上，天天向上。
下面我们再来听一个例句。这是一个人在说他的婚姻状况。
例句-4：Our relationship has gone downhill ever since I lost my job. I don't think my wife respects me anymore. She used to be so happy to see me, but now sometimes when I come home from looking for a job she ignores me.
这个人说：自从我失业以来，我们的关系越来越不好。我觉得我的妻子不再尊重我了。以前她看到我很高兴，可现在有时候我去找工作回来她理都不理我。
