Well, it's the start of your birthday week, isn't it?I love that ideaSo I don't just get a birthdayI get a birthday weekAs we're recording this as leading up to my birthday
OK
所以,这是一个很重要的题目,因为有那么多的规则,要说什么,还有那么多的词句。那么多的词句。所以,我们将将两个视频分成两个,来谈谈年龄。是的。年龄关系的词句,词句,用途,以及年龄关系的词句,年龄关系的文化。是的,我们开始从非常基本的地方开始。
你学习的第一几天,你多大了?是的,答案是,我已经
18 years old or 20 years old, blah blah blah. But to be honest. You know sometimes people say I'm 18 and a half. Yeah, I'm 18 and three quarters. Yeah, that's only for people who are really really young. Yeah, you would ask a kid, oh how old are you? And they'll say, I'm 13 and a half or I'm 7 and three quarters. And if you ask me, I'll be like, oh who remembers that? Yeah. Now, this is the phrase that
everybody learns when they start learning a language but to be perfectly honest it's not what we would normally sayyou only would ask that to a kidyes like how old are you maybe not even an older kid just a kid maybe under 8 or 10you say how old are you
但这不适合问任何人对吗是的我们不会说我经常长大了 18 岁我们可能会更为微妙
对就是比如说三十几四十几二十几你都可以说 I'm in my something something 二十一下就不用说了 You usually you're way too youngYou can just say your actual ageBut
all the other agesyou can sayI'm in my 20sI'm in my 30s40sand so on and so forthif you want to be more specificyou can actually sayI'm in my early 20s
mid 20s or late 20s.Yes.Early 20s is what?21, 22.Late 20s maybe 25, 26.And late 20s will be 28, 29.Yeah, around that time.Or you might say they are about 30 years old or 40 years old.In Chinese we say 奔三奔四。In English you do have pushing.Pushing, yes.He's pushing 30.She's pushing.
pushing 40that means you're about to turnyeah one time i was teaching this phrase in class and one of them saidlulu can i say i'm pushing 20 i said no you may not you can say i'm a child
没有奔二这个说奔二你就是一个还没长大的人好吧
is in hisbut you got to keep them consistenthe is in his mid-twentiesshe is in her mid-thirtiesthat's rightor they are in their
late fiftiespreciselyunder twentylike between the age of thirteen and eighteenyou just called them teenager rightyeah we wouldn't say childchild to us is under the age of thirteenlegally they are still childrentwo to twelve is a childyeah but before that it's toddler and then it's babyyeah but if you call a fifteen year old a childit sounds a bit strangefifteen
对
It just sounds a bit creepy.It sounds very very strange.It's not a language thing.It is a cultural thing.Just think in Chinese you will not say 我认为你还在你三十岁。No.You're not a girl.You are a woman.You can say you're a girl when you're joking.For example corporate girly.You do say that but as a joke.Girls night out.
因为
这就要看你对方的说话了比如说
If you're saying girl, there is that sort of patronizing, condescending.居高临下,有点爹的那种感觉。Yeah.Now, some people like that, some people don't like that.Yeah.You really got to know your audience.You have to know your audience, especially in English speaking culture.Yes.Especially in a professional setting.I would say professional setting is
try not to use boy or girl.Yeah.Just use man, woman, or just don't say any of that.Well, yeah.I always remember, for example, I dated a woman,and at home, in private,she would be happy to say "girl",
但你不做在外面的事是的 我必须承认这有点阻挡所以早前我们谈到青少年 什么是孩子我们来谈谈那些事 谈谈生活不同阶段
青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春青春
17 岁然后你会成为年轻人对在很多文化中然后到你的早 20 岁那是我们仍然认为的年轻人到可能 25 岁或 24 岁 25 岁我知道在欧洲很多年轻人的折扣卡或卡车车车卡设定限制在 26 岁对在 26 岁之前你只是年轻人对在 26 岁后你不再老你不再是中年人你不再是
Youth anymoreI guessWell exactly yeah 你就不是青少年了你只能说青中年青年吧 YeahSo let's look at some of the expressionsWe might say for examplewhen I was a child 嗯
When I was youngerOr as a teenagerFor example, as a teenagerI loved detective storiesI loved forensic scienceThat says me specificallyFor me, in my early twentiesI was always travellingSame for meIn my early twentiesI was always travellingAs wellAnd this is the time we would sayYou are starting out in life
你的整个人生的话就都刚刚开始展开这个 flag 不能立
But now let's move on to middle ageWhat is middle age to you or in English speaking world?It really dependsTechnically middle age should be when you're about 35But middle age I would guess most people look at it as 40 to 50sUp until your 60sOkay, because one day I was asking in class and I said
你觉得中年是一个什么样的概念有人说 35 到 40 我说五年中年了然后呢你需要被围住吗对
这是一个很大的问题。我认为现在的中年人平均年龄大概是 55 岁或 60 岁。是的,但这很奇怪,因为在英国的年龄,例如在 65 岁以上的年龄,那么那如果说 60 岁和 65 岁的人,他们不够老,甚至要收取薪水。
Well yeahBut they are old enough not to be called middle age anymoreIt is a question that is very ongoingThey are like young elderlyThere is no set term
in chinese we call them 初老 低龄老人 ok like trainee elderly kind of kind of which is a bit yeah well i guess you could say pre-old age like pre-youth i guess so i mean those of you who are listening to the show leave us a comment in the comment section what do you think is the age range for middle age there are no set i don't think there are set principles
NoIt's a very vague concept anywaysBecause middle age simply is the middle ageYeahWith life expectancy expanding or extendingI think middle agethe range for middle age is shifting anywaysWell yeah
Well, people say in my thirties I started to settle down.Yes, that means to start a family, normally get married, have a stable job, that is to settle down.And most people expect to be very successful, very established in their career in their forties, for example.This is what I expect.
中文叫上有老下有小听过吧嗯
中文也有叫暮年暮就是夕阳西下的这个 Twilight is also duskTwilight years, golden years
我认为这很重要的就是你的健康情况,如果你要照顾孩子。对。或者孩子的孩子。对。所以,有点更有趣的方式是在山上。我以为你在山上,只要你达到 35 岁。嗯。
You probably would say that for old age.But a slightly and even less polite version of that is one foot in the grave.Oh, in Chinese we have the same.You say one foot in the grave.就一只脚已经踏到这个坟墓里了。In Chinese 我们说土埋到半截了。Yes.It's already been half buried.Yeah.I think we all have those expressions.So,
我们刚才给了你一些不同的阶段
