每每说到“年龄”,大家一定会想用How old are you?或What's your age?来表示“你多大了?”。很多人可能从3岁到30岁都在用同一个回答,那就是I'm 3 years old./ I'm 30 years old.那么除了这种直接确切的表达,还能如何描述年龄呢?
下面给大家举几个例子:
I think he's about 20.
我想他大概是20岁
Harry is still in his thirties.
Harry30多岁(言外之意就是还没到40呢)
Rob looks like 40 something.
萝卜看起来40岁左右
Her son is going to be 15 next month.
她儿子下个月就15岁了
My grandpa is over 90.
我爷爷已经90多岁了
My elder sister is one year older than me.
我姐姐比我大一岁
His younger brother is 5 years younger than him.
他弟弟比他小5岁
当然,还是不要冒昧地去问别人年龄,尤其是female!不过话说,我真的觉得现在的姑娘15-35岁,化完妆不仔细看看不出来年龄。。。如果真的不得不聊到年龄的问题,你可以说Wow!You look much younger than you are!你看起来好年轻,好小啊~ 这句话,估计20岁以上的“妹纸”“阿姨”“奶奶”们听了,都会心花怒放的!
