用英文該如何表達(dá)“20多歲”?地道的說法:twenty-something
I am twenty-something.
我二十多歲了。
也可表達(dá)為:in one's twenties/20s
They're both in their twenties and both married with children of their own.
他們倆都二十幾歲,都已經(jīng)結(jié)婚生子了。
也可以借助early,middle,late來表達(dá)得更明確一些:
The girl is in her early twenties.
那女孩今年二十出頭。
He is in his middle twenties.
他今年二十五歲左右。
She is in her late twenties.
她今年二十八、九歲。
關(guān)于更多年齡的表達(dá)如下:
① 表示整歲,直接用基數(shù)詞或year, age,比如“他20歲”:
He is twenty.
He is twenty years old.
②? 表示“超過多少歲”用介詞past:
He is past fifty.
他已年過50。
③ 表示“快滿多少歲”用進行時或?qū)頃r,例如“他快滿18歲了”可說成:
He is getting on for eighteen.
④ 表示“不滿多少歲”,用副詞barely/nearly/almost/quite/yet等,例如“她不滿17歲”有以下幾種說法:
She is barely/nearly/almost/quite/yet seventeen.
⑤ 表示“差多久滿多少歲”用介詞off,例如:
He is five months off nineteen.
他差5個月就滿19歲。
today years old這個表達(dá)并不是在說年齡,而是表示“今天才知道”,有一種恍然大悟的感覺。
I was today years old when I found out that loofahs are fruits.
我今天才知道絲瓜是水果。
