adj.形容词
old girl, old lady, old wife, old woman这四者都指“女人”,但意思和用法并不相同: 1.old girl一般用于子女对母亲或丈夫对妻子的昵称,也可用于对任何年龄女子的爱称如老大姐,有时则用于贬义,是一种讽刺或不尊敬的称呼。在英国学校中可指“女校友”“女毕业生”。old girl还可用作母马的爱称,常译为“老伙计”。 2.old lady和old wife同义,相当于汉语中的“老伴”“老婆”,用于比喻可指“婆婆妈妈的人”。 3.old woman是口语用语,在子女与母亲间或夫妻间使用时意思同old girl。用于比喻可指“畏畏缩缩,行为像女人或办事缺乏主动性的男人”。 old, aged, elderly这三个词均可指“年老的,年迈的”。其区别是： old指年事已高,接近生命的终点; elderly指已过中年,意为“较老的,接近老年的”,常有尊敬和威严的意味。例如: She was an elderly woman, perhaps sixty years old.她已是上了年纪的女人,可能有60岁了。aged指“年迈的”,含有体弱多病、老态龙钟的意味。例如: An aged woman sat mumbling by the fire.一位年迈的妇女坐在炉火旁,口中念念有词。old, ancient这两个词都有“古代的”“古老的”意思。ancient指发生或存在于很久以前,现在则未必存在; old则指其存在至今的,时间已相当长。ancient所指的时间一般比old长。ancient的反义词是recent; old的反义词是young或new。 下面三句意思相同:He is five years older than I. He is older than I by five years. He is five years senior to me.他比我大5岁。下面两句意思不同:Old Tom died a week ago. 老汤姆一周前死去。未必年老 The old Tom died a week ago. 老汤姆一周前死去。年迈 下面两个短语意思不同:one's old man 丈夫,父母 the old man 老板,船长,校长,长官尤指连长 ancient，old，antique这些形容词均含“古代的，古老的”之意。 ancient指很久以前发生或存在的事物。用于描述历史时，指远古时代。 old指长期以来一直存在着的事物，与times连用指古代，与days连用时指从前或旧社会。 antique指已经很古老或颇有古风的事物，一般都具有较高价值。 来自日耳曼语，前面的ol-和拉丁语词根al-滋养，使增长，长高最终都源自原始印欧语词根*al-2滋养。
