That would be fatal, as only old men and very old ladies could belch without fear of social disapproval.

那就要命了，如果真是打嗝，因为只有老头儿和老太婆才不怕周围的人议论敢在宴度上打嗝呢。

Fortunately, this term is no longer used, but social disapproval of older mothers still lingers. If something lingers it continues to exist longer than usual or expected.

所幸这个词不再使用，但社会对高龄母亲的反对仍然存在。如果某件事仍然linger，它会比平常或预期的持续时间更长。
