今天新开了《精通英语词汇100主题》这个栏目,依托 English Vocabulary Organizer 一书的100个 units ,作更为细致全面的读书笔记和补充总结,在夯实基础(精准表达和情景化应用)的同时实现更深层次的延伸拓展(趣味解析跨文化内涵),旨在达成更精深、通透、高效的主题词汇学习。

以下便是第一期关于 Age 的主题词汇笔记。

【年龄那点事儿】

准确的年龄be +基数词+years old(基数词-year-old)
at the age of+具体年龄的数字
be of an age with sb. (与某人同年)大概年龄几十多岁 → in one’s early/middle/late thirties
快满……岁 → be getting on for + 具体年龄
差……到……岁 → off + 具体年龄
不满……岁 → barely/nearly/almost + 具体年龄
超过……岁 → past + 具体年龄

【值得积累的表达】

An elderly married couple (老夫老妻)vs May-December marriage (老夫少妻)
拓展:to live to a ripe old age in conjugal bliss (白头到老)→ Darby and JoanAged wine (陈年老酒)vs Chronic illness (老病) vs Same old trick (老把戏)
拓展:play the same old trick (故伎重施)Age limit/gap/group/discrimination (年龄限制/差别/段/歧视)Over the hill (上了年纪、衰老) vs As old as the hills (很老的、极古老的)On the wrong side of 40 (过了40岁) vs At the grand old age of 70 (70岁高龄)The Atomic Age (原子时代) vs the Stone Age(石器时代)vs the Golden Age(黄金时代)
拓展:in the prime of one’s life / in one’s prime (在某人生命的黄金时期)Die in one’s bed at a ripe old age (寿终正寝)vs Die in one’s boots / die with one’s boots on (死于非命)

【需要厘清的表达】

Comes of age (成年) vs Under age (未成年)Act one’s age (举止与年龄相称) vs Look your age (容貌与年龄相当)
考考你:“Does not look his age?”到底是不是夸赞人年轻?Feel your age (尤指与较年轻者比)感到上了年纪
金句:You're only as old as you feel. (莫道桑榆晚,为霞尚满天)The age of discretion (责任能力年龄)vs The age of consent (性同意年龄)Juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪) vs Early/late adolescence (青春期早/后期) vs Children’s palace(少年宫)
金句:An idle youth, a needy age. (少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲)The European Middle Ages (欧洲中世纪时期)vs The post-Cold War era (后冷战时代) vs The old good days (以往美好的日子) vs An epoch-making event (划时代事件)
