n.(名词)

age的基本意思是“年龄”“年纪”,引申还可指“长时间”, age还可指具有某种显著特征,或以杰出人物命名的历史时代,也指地质学、考古学中的“时代”。

age表示“年龄”,可用作可数名词或不可数名词,表示“时代”,是可数名词,多用作单数形式,且以大写字母开头。

age笼统指个人或多人的年龄时常用单数。但如果分别指各人的年龄,或age后面跟各个具体的年龄,这时常用复数。

age表示“年龄”“年纪”时,与介词at连用,当表示“时代”“时期”时,与介词in连用,表示“长时间”时,要用介词for,表示“同龄”时,要用介词of, of可省略。

v.(动词)

age的基本意思是在不长的时间内“长大,老化,变老” “使苍老”。

age还可指“(酒等)变陈”或“存一段时间再用”,往往表示因历时长久而变好,尤其指味道变醇厚。

age可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语。

age的现在分词有两种形式：ageing和aging,前者更常见些。

age的过去分词可用作前置形容词,表示“…岁的”“年老的”。

n.(名词)

old age, advanced age

这两个短语都可表示“老年”,但前面使用的介词不同。例如:

Her father died in his old age.

她的父亲在他老年时去世。

Her father died at an advanced age.

她的父亲在高龄时去世。

v.(动词)

of age, of an age, of the age

这三个短语的意思并不相同。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“当代的”。例如:

The girl has been of age.

这姑娘已经成年了。

They are of an age.

他们同龄。

He is one of the great poets of the age.

他是当代伟大诗人之一。

n.(名词)我们不知不觉进入中年。

误

正

析

old age(老年)和middle age(中年)之前均不用冠词。
我在那个年龄经常放学后去打乒乓球。

误

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

正

析

that age作“那个年龄”讲,可以直接作表语或定语,不必加任何介词。
他年老背驼。

误

正

His back is bent with age.

析

age在作“年老”解时是抽象名词,即是不可数名词,因此不能用复数形式。

误

I am at the age of sixteen.

误

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语。
我们的老师是个年轻人。

误

Our teacher is a young-aged man.

正

Our teacher is a young man.

析

“年轻人”和“老年人”应说a young〔old〕 man,只有“中年人”才可说a middle-aged man.
我儿子5岁。

误

My son's age is five years old.

正

My son is five years old.

析

age与old是同义词,不可在一个句子中同时出现。
