age的详细讲解：
词语用法
- 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。
- 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”。
-
age前加at，in或of，表示不同意思。
He died at the age of ninety.（age指“年龄”)
He is of my age.（age指“同年”） -
下列各句均表示相同意思：
I am twenty years of age.
I am twenty. -
注意下面的表达方式均不正确：
I am twenty of age.
以上有时指“我面容上老了二十年”的意思。 - at the age of ...结构中用the，不用an；
-
advanced age指“高龄”，old age指“老年”。表达方式at an extremely old age和at a good old age是正确的；
He died at an advanced age.（NOT He died at an old age.）
He died in his old age.（NOT He died in his advanced age.) - age所在的表达方式when I was of your age，a man of twice my age，of what age he is等中，可省略of；
- middle age指“中年”，大概是四十到六十岁，而指“少年”时，常用youth，而不是young age；
- 不能说My age is young，而是说I am young；
- Middle Ages（或the middle ages）指“中世纪”，不可与middle age混用，而old age也不可指“古代”，应用ancient times表示；
- of an age指“同年龄的”，of the age指“当代的”，of age指“成年的”；
- 若从你出生到现在为十八年和几个月，可说eighteen，但实际已是第十九年，也可说 in my nineteenth year；
-
for ages和for an age都指“经过了很长时间”。
He kept me waiting for ages.
他让我等了好久。He kept me waiting for an age.
词义辨析
- 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。
- 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。
- for age, in age
-
- 这两个短语都表示“长时间”。区别是：后者主要用于美式英语。
- age, generation, period
-
- 这三个词的共同意思是“时期”。其区别是：
- period是这组词中最一般的常用术语,用于任何时限,时间可长可短; age意为“时代,寿命”,常用来表示以一个中心人物或显著特征而闻名的时期; generation意为“代、世代”,用于上辈出世与下辈出世之间的时段,对人类来说这段时间有时可算作20年或25年,也可用于下辈本身。例如:
- The period in which people learnt to make tools of iron is called the Iron Age.人类学会用铁制造工具的时代,我们称为“铁器时代”。
- My generation behaves differently from my father's and grandfather's.我这一代人和我父辈及祖辈表现不同。
- age, develop, mature, mellow, ripen
-
- 这组词的共同含义是“成熟,长成”。其区别是：
- mature不仅指身体上,也指精神、智力方面“成熟”; age则侧重“变老,老化”,可指人,也可指物; develop意为“生长,成长”,可指局部的,也可指整体的变化; mellow则指水果成熟、酒酿成,也可指人因年龄的增长,经验的积累而变得老练成熟; 而ripen的意思是“使…成熟”,着重指无生命的东西。
- age，epoch，era，period，times
-
- 这些名词均含“时期、时代”之意。
- age常指具有显著特征或以某杰出人物命名的历史时代或时期。
- epoch正式用词，侧重指以某重大事件或巨大变化为起点的新的历史时期。
- era书面语用词，指历史上的纪元、年代，可与epoch和age互换，侧重时期的延续性和整个历程。
- period最普通用词，概念广泛，时间长短不限，既可指任何一个历史时期，又可指个人或自然界的一个发展阶段。
- times侧重某一特定时期。
- mature，ripen，age，develop
-
- 这些动词均有“成熟、长成”之意。
- mature指生物自然发育成熟或丰满或使其能起正常作用，还可指人获得智慧、经验或变得世故。
- ripen侧重已到生长成熟的顶点。
- age一般指使人过早成熟，强调已走向衰老。
- develop侧重使某一种类或个体潜在本能进化完全，词义比mature广泛。
常见错误
-
我们不知不觉进入中年。
误 We reach the middle age before we know it.
正 We reach middle age before we know it.
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 I used to play table tennis after school when I was that age.
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 His back is bent with ages.
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。
我十六岁。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。
词源解说
- ☆ 14世纪进入英语，直接源自古法语的aage；最初源自拉丁语的aetatm，意为生命，生命力。
