“高龄”常见的英文表达有 advanced age、elderly age 或 old age(较为宽泛),具体使用可根据语境调整:
1、 advanced age(较为正式、书面)
例句:She is living a happy life in her advanced age.(她在高龄时过着幸福的生活。)
2、 elderly age(侧重描述“步入老年阶段”)
例句:He retired at an elderly age to enjoy his hobbies.(他在高龄退休,开始享受爱好。)
3、 old age(更口语化,但需注意“old”的直接性)
例句:In many cultures, old age is respected as a source of wisdom.(在许多文化中,高龄被视为智慧的象征。)
进阶表达(根据语境选择):senior years(强调“晚年阶段”)
例句:Her senior years were filled with travel and creativity.(她的晚年充满了旅行与创造力。)
golden years(带有积极色彩的“黄金晚年”)
例句:Many people dream of enjoying their golden years in a peaceful place.(许多人梦想在宁静之地安度晚年。)
注意事项:避免使用可能引发负面联想的词汇(如“aged”或“elderly”单独使用时可能略显生硬)。
正式场合优先用 advanced age,日常交流可用 senior years 或 golden years。
