译文：

1--使用这个俗语的时候要注意了：OVER THE HILL
2--我有一个朋友本周末四十岁生日。
1--作为礼物，我打算送她一件印着 "Over the Hill" 的趣味T恤，周末逛街的时候看到了。
2--你是认真的吗？
1--我没觉得这有多好玩。
2--因为没有人希望自己在走下坡路。
1--是这样的，我明白。
2--我不会这样做，我打算送她其它的礼物，就是一个印有“生命始于四十”的咖啡杯。
1--Over the Hill指的是，人变老或者东西变旧了，开始走下坡路，不再有价值。
2--人们总是爱拿这句话开玩笑，尤其是在人们迈入40岁的时候，因为他们已经进入中年时期。
1--对别人说这句话很不礼貌，就算是朋友也不该说！
