It is sometimes claimed that the expressionold adage is redundant, inasmuch as a saying must have a certain tradition behind it to count as anadage in the first place. But the word adage is first recorded by the OED in the phrase old adage, showing that this redundancy itself is very old.Such idiomatic redundancy is paralleled by similar phrases such asyoung whelp.
有時人們認為old adage 這種表達方式很累贅， 因為諺語首先必須具有壹定的傳統才能成為adage 。 但是adage 這個詞首次是以 old adage 這個詞組形式收錄於 《牛津英語詞典》， 由此可表明這種累贅本身就很古老。這種諺語上的累贅與類似的詞組對等，如年輕的幼犬
