Question

expire vi.终止；期满；失效；呼气；断气 (1) 我们的假期于下星期结束。(2) 我的护照再过两个月就到期了。(3) 你的驾驶执照何时到期?(4) 我的信用卡六月过期。(5) 我们从肺里呼出废气。 The verb expire comes from the Latin expirare, meaning “breathe out,” and the modern use retains that ancient meaning. The expanded, and more commonly used, meaning of expire is that the breath has — literally or figuratively — departed. When you expire your breath, you breathe out; you exhale. Things with a limited shelf life sometimes offer an expiration date that lets you know when they will expire: yogurt, frozen burritos, and even contracts for temporary employment. But some things expire in their own time: life, love, and car batteries.
