一、不同年龄怎么用英文精准表达?
3 days old-newborn baby
18 months-toddler(学步儿童)
8-child
14-teenager
20-adult
28-in his late twenties
35-in his mid-thirties
42-in his early forties
48-he is middle aged
85-he is fairly elderly(elderly是对老人的比较礼貌的称呼)
二、我有个2岁的孩子
表达1:I‘ve got a son. He is 2 years old.
表达2:I‘ve got a 2-year-old son.(2-year-old 作为形容词使用)
表达3:I‘ve got a son. He is a 2-year-old.(2-year-old 作为名词使用)
三、年龄的比较
You are the same age as me.
When I was your age
People of all ages
When you get to my age (老年人经常对年轻人说的话)
a child of his age
at your age
the age difference:the age difference has never been a problem.
over the hill:过了壮年,身体开始走下坡路了。As a professional football player, he is over the hill at the age of 35.
the wrong side of 50:50多岁(不要用来描述年轻人,小心挨打):He is on the wrong side of 50.
you don‘t lookyour age(你看起来不显老,你看起来没有实际年龄那么大)
四、He is very ……for his age
当你想夸亲戚家小孩非常聪明,可以说:He is very bright for his age.(就他的年龄而言,他真是聪明!)
90岁的大爷还能健步如飞,可以夸他:He is very fit for his age.
Rita 阿姨徐娘半老,风韵犹存,可以说:She looks great for her age.
14岁的小红偷偷抹口红,可以说:She is quite grown-up for her age.
12岁的小蓝已经1米8了,可以说:He is very tall for his age.
