aged
★★
🇺🇸 /ˈeɪdʒd/
aged主要表示“年老的”或“经过时间变得成熟、醇厚的”,也可用于说明某人当时的年龄;作名词时指老年人群体。
💡 记忆钩子
把aged想成“时间留下的年轮”:年轮长在人身上,就是“年老的”;写在数字旁边,就是“年龄为……”;留在酒或食物里,则使它“经过陈年而成熟”。the aged进一步把这些年轮集中到一群老人身上,表示“老年人”。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把aged一律理解成普通的“有年龄”;它最常见的学习入口是“年老的”和“经过陈年而变得醇厚的”。
- 先掌握形容人年老、说明年龄和描述酒类等物品陈年的用法,再记住the aged这一整体表达。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 年老的📖 指人已经年纪很大,通常让人联想到脸上、身体或生活经历留下了明显的岁月痕迹。💡 常用“aged + 人”或“an aged + 人”作定语,例如aged man。这个词较正式,也可能显得书面或带有描写色彩;日常谈话中不要把它当作对任何年长者都最自然的称呼。它强调年老状态,不只是客观说明某人的年龄。An aged woman was sitting quietly by the window.一位年迈的妇人静静地坐在窗边。
-
common 年龄为……的📖 放在数字前,表示某人在某个时间点已经是这个年龄,常用于介绍人物当时的年纪。💡 常用句型是“aged + 数字,主语 + 谓语”,也可说“主语,aged + 数字”,通常用于叙述或较正式的文字。这个用法主要见于英式英语,在美式英语中往往改用“数字 + years old”。不要把它理解成“变老了”,这里仅仅是在标明年龄。Aged 18, she left home to study abroad.她十八岁时离开家去国外求学。
-
core 陈年成熟的📖 指食物、饮料或其他物品经过一段时间保存或处理后,味道、质地或品质变得更成熟;时间在这里像是在慢慢“酿造”它。💡 常用“aged + 食物或饮料”作定语,如aged whiskey,也常见于产品说明和餐饮语境。这个用法通常含有品质改善或风味成熟的意味,不等于东西单纯放久了或坏掉了。描述人时不要把它误读成“成熟的”,除非上下文明确是在说陈化过程。They served us a rich sauce made with aged cheese.他们给我们端上了用陈年奶酪制成的浓郁酱汁。

common 老年人📖 把许多老年人作为一个群体来谈,常见于讨论社会照护、福利或公共服务。💡 最典型的形式是the aged,后面可接表示照护、服务或权益的内容。这个表达偏正式、概括性强,不适合用来称呼面前的某一位老人。需要突出具体个人时,应改用表示单个人的说法。collective plural plural-only with-definite-articleThe community center offers free classes for the aged.社区中心为老年人提供免费课程。
