   在生活中,尤其在中国,人们都比较喜欢询问对方的年龄。但是,有时候人们不想让对方知道自己的具体岁数,通常会说:“三十刚出头、二十好几、快三十岁”之类的模糊答案。今天,小编就带大家来看看,如何谈论年龄问题。

  (1)首先来看看,准确岁数的表达。
  1.他三十岁:He is thirty (years old)./ He is thirty years of age./He is aged1 of thirty.
  2.他已经三十岁了:He is already thirty./He has reached the age of thirty.
  3.一个三十岁的男人:a thirty-year-old man/ a man who is thirty/a man of thirty/ a man aged thirty/ a man at the age of thirty
  (2) 大约模糊岁数。
  1.他年近三十岁了:He is nearly thirty./He is near to thirty./He is toward thirty./He is getting on thirty./He is hard on thirty.
  2.他三十好几了:He is in his middle thirty./ He is well over thirty.
  3.他与我同岁:He is as old as I am./ He is as old as me.
  (3)绝大部分的人都喜欢别人称赞自己年轻,那么如何在知道别人年龄之后再称赞他/她年轻呢?
  1.她看上去比实际年龄小:She looks younger than her years.
  2.她看上去比实际年龄小十岁:She looks ten years younger than her real age.
  3.我年纪比你大:I am older then you.
  e.g. I appreciate that. Speaking of which, I was wondering if I am older than you, because you look so young.
  非常感谢,说起这个,我在想我一定比你大因为你看起来很年轻.
  4.她三十岁了,但看上去才二十岁:She is thirty but looks twenty.
  e.g. She is thirty but she appears young.
  她三十岁了, 但看起来很年轻。
  (5)各种年龄层次怎么说?
  1.一个未成年人:a youngest/ a teenager/ a juveniles/ an adolescent/ a minor2
  2.一个成年人:a grown-up/ an adult/ a person of mature years
  3.一个中年人:a middle-aged3 man/ a man of middle age
