今天的知識點來了
1、“二十多歲”英語怎麼說?
①twentysomething
-something作為後綴
-something is combined with numbers such as twenty and thirty to form adjectives which indicate an approximate amount, especially someone's age. For example, if you say that someone is thirty-something, you mean they are between thirty and forty years old.
數字(如twenty或者thirty)與-something結合在一起構成形容詞,表示的是大緻的數量,尤其是某人的年齡。例如,如果你說某人是thirty-something,你的意思是他們在三十到四十歲之間。
他二十多歲了可以說:He is twentysomething years old(years old可以省略)直接說成:He is twentysomething
something表示不明确的"幾",類似的表達還有:
20多個人=twenty something people
100多美元=one hundred something dollars
②I'm in my 20s.(twenties)
這是最簡單的表達:in one's +基數詞複數形式
20多歲也分前期,中期,晚期
二十多歲出頭(前期)=I'm in my early 20s.
二十多歲中期=I'm in my mid-20s.
奔三(二十多歲晚期)=I'm in my late 20s.
知識鞏固:
①My mother is fiftysomething years old,so she will retire in a few years.
我媽媽現在五十多了,所以她過幾年就要退休了。
②Many twentysomething entrepreneurs make their fortunes on the internet.
許多20多歲的企業家通過互聯網發家緻富。
③Pikachu is in his 20s(twenties) , the prime of his life.
皮卡丘20多歲,正值人生的黃金時期。
“十幾”歲的表達并不在這一系列裡,而是直接用teens, teenage,或者 teenager
teens釋義:A person's teens are the period in which they are aged between 13 and 19
例:
①Both my daughters are in their teens.
我的兩個女兒都十幾歲。
②He's in his early/mid/lateteens.
他十三四/十五六/十八九歲。
