outlive: live or last longer than“比...活得长"“比...持久“

outlive与one's usefulness搭配使用，1.表示某人或某物不再有用。2.表示什么东西虽然存在，但是已经形同虚设，没有任何效力了。

这个传统方法已经行不通了。

翻译：The traditional method/approach has outlived its usefulness.

场景1:年龄 Women outlive men by about five to six years.

场景2：The group has outlived its usefulness.
