Buggy是四輪的輕便馬車。在火車、汽車和飛機還沒發(fā)明之前，美國人運輸通常就靠這種馬拉的車子。從大約1790年起人們開始用horse-and-buggy days來指以往的歲月。
【例句】
The post-industrial crisis always reminds citizens of the horse-and-buggy days.
后工業(yè)時代的危機總是能讓人們回想起以往的歲月。
Some people look back to the horse-and-buggy days as a better time than now. But remember those were the days before we had movies, TV, modern medicine and all the other things that make life a lot easier.
有些人懷舊；老是覺得今不如昔，但是你可別忘記那時人們是沒有電影、電視、現(xiàn)代醫(yī)藥以及種種生活便利設施的。
