Question

antiquity n.古代；古物；古迹 (1) 古代文化重见天日。(2) 远古的动植物变成了化石。(3) 有许多关于古代英雄的传说。(4) 罗马的军团是古代异常强大的军事作战团队。(5) 嗜好使他沉迷于研究古代的事物。 The word antique should be a clue to the meaning of this word, which refers to things that are extremely old or ancient. This isn't grandparent old — this is really old, like hundreds or even thousands of years old. People also use this word to compare old ways of doing things to new ways: you could say an old-fashioned idea is an antiquity that goes against modernity (newer ideas and ways of doing things). Antiquity can also mean the time before the Middle Ages.
