n.(名詞)

age的基本意思是“年齡”“年紀(jì)”,引申還可指“長時間”, age還可指具有某種顯著特征,或以杰出人物命名的歷史時代,也指地質(zhì)學(xué)、考古學(xué)中的“時代”。

age表示“年齡”,可用作可數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞,表示“時代”,是可數(shù)名詞,多用作單數(shù)形式,且以大寫字母開頭。

age籠統(tǒng)指個人或多人的年齡時常用單數(shù)。但如果分別指各人的年齡,或age后面跟各個具體的年齡,這時常用復(fù)數(shù)。

age表示“年齡”“年紀(jì)”時,與介詞at連用,當(dāng)表示“時代”“時期”時,與介詞in連用,表示“長時間”時,要用介詞for,表示“同齡”時,要用介詞of, of可省略。

v.(動詞)

age的基本意思是在不長的時間內(nèi)“長大,老化,變老” “使蒼老”。

age還可指“(酒等)變陳”或“存一段時間再用”,往往表示因歷時長久而變好,尤其指味道變醇厚。

age可用作及物動詞,也可用作不及物動詞。用作及物動詞時,接名詞或代詞作賓語。

age的現(xiàn)在分詞有兩種形式：ageing和aging,前者更常見些。

age的過去分詞可用作前置形容詞,表示“…歲的”“年老的”。

n.(名詞)

old age, advanced age

這兩個短語都可表示“老年”,但前面使用的介詞不同。例如:

Her father died in his old age.

她的父親在他老年時去世。

Her father died at an advanced age.

她的父親在高齡時去世。

v.(動詞)

of age, of an age, of the age

這三個短語的意思并不相同。of age的意思是“成年的”; of an age的意思是“同年的”; of the age的意思是“當(dāng)代的”。例如:

The girl has been of age.

這姑娘已經(jīng)成年了。

They are of an age.

他們同齡。

He is one of the great poets of the age.

他是當(dāng)代偉大詩人之一。

n.(名詞)我們不知不覺進(jìn)入中年。

誤

We reach the middle age before we know it.

正

We reach middle age before we know it.

析

old age(老年)和middle age(中年)之前均不用冠詞。
我在那個年齡經(jīng)常放學(xué)后去打乒乓球。

誤

I used to play table tennis after school when I was in that age.

正

I used to play table tennis after school when I was that age.

析

that age作“那個年齡”講,可以直接作表語或定語,不必加任何介詞。
他年老背駝。

誤

His back is bent with ages.

正

His back is bent with age.

析

age在作“年老”解時是抽象名詞,即是不可數(shù)名詞,因此不能用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
我十六歲。

誤

I am at the age of sixteen.

誤

I am sixteen of age.

正

My age is sixteen years.

析

at the age of在句中一般不可用作表語。
我們的老師是個年輕人。

誤

Our teacher is a young-aged man.

正

Our teacher is a young man.

析

“年輕人”和“老年人”應(yīng)說a young〔old〕 man,只有“中年人”才可說a middle-aged man.
我兒子5歲。

誤

My son's age is five years old.

正

My son is five years old.

析

age與old是同義詞,不可在一個句子中同時出現(xiàn)。

☆ 14世紀(jì)進(jìn)入英語，直接源自古法語的aage；最初源自拉丁語的aetatm，意為生命，生命力。
