用英语表达年龄大小主要有以下几种常见方式,根据年龄范围和语境选择合适表达:
一、具体年龄
例如:
He is 25 years old.(他25岁)
The girl is 18 years old.(她18岁)
例如:
The boy is of 10 years old.(这个男孩10岁)
使用数字+years of age
例如:
She is 30 years of age.(她30岁)
二、年龄范围
in one's + 整十数复数形式
例如:
He is in his twenties.(他二十多岁)
The woman is in her fifties.(她五十多岁)
使用early, middle, late修饰
例如:
The child is in his early teens.(他十多岁)
She is in her late twenties.(她二十多岁)
三、年龄与时间点
at the age of + 数字
例如:
He started school at the age of 6.(他6岁开始上学)
已经达到某个年龄
例如:
She has reached the age of 30.(她已满30岁)
四、特殊表达
未达到某个年龄: The boy is not yet 18 years old.(他还没18岁) 年龄差 He is two years older than you are.(他比你大两岁) 注意事项 避免混淆
不可写成 "20 years"(错误)或 "20-year-old"(形容词性)
年龄作定语:
需用 "a 20-year-old boy"(正确)而非 "20-year-old boy"(错误)
通过以上结构,可灵活表达不同年龄场景,既符合英语表达习惯,又能准确传达年龄信息。
