以前我问过一个老美,他是这样讲的
Legacy has two meanings, it is something that is handed down from our ancestors and is a synonym for heritage.Another meaning,people would use the term legacy to refer to older control systems that still work, but are not up to date.
Heritage refers to culture and traditions handed down from generation to generation. Your Chinese language is a cultural heritage dating back 5000 years. English is barely 500 years old.
我感觉heritage侧重于文化和传统,是比较虚的东西.legacy 还有另外一层意思,可以指代过去的产品,现在已经有更新换代的替代品了,那老产品就是legacy product..
