washed-up: no longer successful, skillful, popular, or needed; obsolete 過氣的，被淘汰的

(Dozens of whales have mysteriously washed up on the western coast of Nova Scotia.)

Examples: 

1) Will self-cleaning glass leave window washers washed up?

2) Jack is washed-up. It’s time for him to retire.

15 Washed-up Celebrities and What They Are Doing Now (the Richest, 2016/10/11)

These celebrities were interesting to me, either by way of looks or raw charisma. Sadly enough, these actors, artists, talk show hosts, and athletes are now “washed up” in the sense that they have pretty much exited the limelight. Many left voluntarily to pursue other priorities in life.

這些名人的外型或是純粹個人魅力，都仍然讓我感興趣。有點傷感的是這些演員，脫口秀主持人或是運動員現在都過氣了，也就是離開了鎂光燈。其中許多是自願離開，轉而追求其他的人生目標。

Toronto is where Hollywood actors go to reinvent themselves (Los Angeles Times, 2014/09/04)

Al Pacino, who has had a string of largely forgettable roles in crime films, will star in “Manglehorn,” in which he plays an eccentric Texan who must live with a past crime, and “The Humbling,” an adaptation of a Philip Roth novel in which he stars as a washed-up actor whose life is energized by an erotic encounter.

艾爾帕西諾在一連串犯罪電影裡演過一些不起眼的腳色，現在他將在[破碎之角]中挑大樑，飾演一名有前科的怪裡怪氣律師，以及在[百老匯熟男日記]扮演過氣演員，藉著一次桃色邂逅找回人生動力。
