So a funny thing happens when I wear this gray sweatshirt and when the sky is gray, the color of my hair matches my sweatshirt, and the color of my hair sometimes matches the sky.

所以当我穿这件灰色运动衫并且天空是灰色时，会发生一件有趣的事情，我的头发颜色与我的运动衫相匹配，而我的头发颜色有时与天空相匹配。

And that's just one of the signs of aging.

In this English lesson, I'm going to talk about the signs of aging.

在这节英语课中，我将讨论衰老的迹象。

And yes, the first one is gray hair.

I'm trying to remember when I got my first gray hair.

That's usually when people start to get a little bit worried that they're getting old.

I think I got my first gray hair ten or 15 years ago.

I'm not sure.

But anyways, welcome to this English lesson about the signs of aging.

The first sign of aging I could think of gray hair, the same color as my sweatshirt, the same color as the sky.

我能想到的衰老的第一个迹象是白发，与我的运动衫相同的颜色，与天空相同的颜色。

So my grandfather on my mom's side of the family had a full head of hair when he was old.

所以我妈妈这边的祖父年老时头发茂密。

My grandfather on my dad's side of the family was bald.

And I'm not sure which future is in store for me.

我不知道我会有什么样的未来。

I'm not sure whether I'm going to go bald like my grandfather from my dad's side of the family or if I'm going to keep this full head of hair until I'm really, really old.

我不知道我是否会像我爸爸那边的祖父一样秃顶，或者我是否会一直留着浓密的头发，直到我真的很老。

But that's another sign of aging, hair loss.

但这是衰老的另一个迹象——脱发。

Men sometimes go bald as they get older.

随着年龄的增长，男人有时会秃顶。

Actually, some men go bald in their thirties, but for me, I'm just thankful so far that as I am in my early fifties, I still have a full head of hair.

事实上，有些男人在三十多岁时就会秃顶，但对我来说，到目前为止，我只是庆幸自己虽然五十出头，但仍然有一头浓密的头发。

I do think, though, that I'm balding slightly.

不过，我确实觉得我有点秃顶了。

I think there's a little piece right here where the hair is starting to get thin.

我觉得这里有一小块地方的头发开始变薄了。

Sometimes your hair thins out, and then sometimes eventually, you go bald, another sign of aging.

有时你的头发会变薄，有时最终你会秃顶，这是衰老的另一个迹象。

So if you look really closely at my forehead and around my eyes, I have a few lines and wrinkles.

But as I get older, I'm starting to get lines and wrinkles, another sign of aging.

但随着年龄的增长，我开始出现皱纹，这是衰老的另一个迹象。

I even have a few lines and wrinkles on my hands.

我的手上甚至还出现了几条细纹和皱纹。

When I look at my hands, they aren't the hands I remember that I had when I was 25.

当我看着我的手时，它们已经不再是我记忆中 25 岁时的手了。

They look a little bit older, and I'm not really that old.

他们看上去稍微老一些，但其实我并没有那么老。

Oh, here they are.

噢，他们在这儿。

They were just on my forehead.

Forgetfulness, that is another sign of aging.

健忘，这是衰老的另一个迹象。

As people get older, they tend to forget things a little bit more often than normal regular aged people do.

随着年龄的增长，人们比一般的老年人更容易忘记一些事情。

Again, I'm not that old, but I tend to forget things every once in a while.

再说了，我还没那么老，但我偶尔还是会忘记一些事情。

Sometimes I go to work and I forget to take my phone.

是的，我不太期待这个。

I don't mind wrinkles, I don't mind going bald, but I really like the ability to remember things.

我不介意皱纹，也不介意秃顶，但我真的很喜欢记忆事情的能力。

So hopefully as I get older, I can keep my mind really sharp and I can avoid forgetfulness.
