anachronistic
意味: Belonging to a period other than the one being portrayed; conspicuously old-fashioned and out of place in the present.
Anachronistic describes something that is placed in the wrong time period. In film and literature, an 'anachronism' is a historical error — a wristwatch in a Roman epic, for example. More broadly, it describes institutions, attitudes, or practices that seem absurdly out of step with the modern world. 'Anachronistic' is more specific than 'outdated' — it emphasises the jarring contrast between the thing and its temporal context.
