2018-10-02每日一词outlive

outlive英英释义：to live or exist longer than someone or something，例句：He outlived all of his brothers. 

outlive意思是“比……活得长”、“比……持久”，outlive与survive都有“比……活得长”的意思，但survive的直接宾语要么是一个亲人，要么是一件负面的事情，outlive的直接宾语可以是没有亲属关系的人或者任何性质的事件。例句：Women generally outlive men。outlive经常与one's usefulness搭配使用，表示某人或某物不再有用，例句：The one-child policy had outlived its usefulness.（注意时态为过去完成时，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）。例句：Now you have outlived your usefulness to me.表示“你现在对我来说，已经没有什么用了”。

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。
