"Over the hill" = bên kia ngọn đồi -> nghĩa là đã già và qua thời hoàng kim của mình; bên kia sườn dốc của cuộc đời.

Ví dụ
At 32, many considered Ali to be over the hill as a professional boxer.

Dani Ceballos is determined to make his Real Madrid career a success, with the Arsenal loanee insisting he is "not over the hill" at just 23 years old.

I am appalled (kinh hãi) that our section of society is being branded as over the hill, vulnerable (dễ bị tổn thương) and dispensable (không quan trọng). We are much fitter than many people a lot younger than we are. We do not want to become a burden on our families, nor on the NHS earlier than we need, so staying mentally and physically active is essential. We are still getting the “Stay at home message”. I think it needs to be “Stay alert and stay local”.
