今天我们要来学习的表达，还是跟stick有关。
非常地道的一个表达
stick-in-the-mud
复合名词
Someone who is considered boring, often due to unpopular or outdated beliefs.
在口语里这个表达用来形容一个人观念陈旧，无趣，不愿意接受新事物，是个“老古董、老顽固”，非常保守的人。
eg: Sally was tired of being called a stick-in-the-mud by her friends just because she refused to have a drink.
就因为Sally不愿意喝酒，她被朋友们叫做是老古董，她已经受够了。
eg: I felt sorry for him because he obviously wanted to enjoy himself but was married to a real stick-in-the-mud.
我挺替他难过的，因为很明显啊他想好好享乐，但是他找了一个观念陈旧的另一半。
