When do you feel like you are getting older? Is it when the songs you liked when you were young are now considered"oldies but goodies"to the next generation: When I was younger, I RARELY liked classical music or jazz. Now I do. Does that mean that I'm "getting older "?

你何时会感到自己正在老去？是不是当你年轻时喜欢的歌被下一代人奉为“经典老歌”的时候？年轻时，我可不喜欢古典音乐和爵士乐。现在，这两种我都喜欢。这是否意味着我在变老。

Have you noticed that an actor or an actress that you have liked for a long time is getting a lot of wrinkles or gray hair? Do you notice your age when you are with others. like at a reunion of some kind? Do you notice your age when you are looking in the mirror? Does that scare your? Do you find that the kinds of clothes you like are thought of as clothes for a "mature person?

你是否留意，自己一直喜欢的那位男演员或女演员添了不皱纹或灰白发丝？跟别人在一起时，尤其是在某个聚会上，你是否意识到自己的年纪？照镜子的时候呢？你害怕吗？有没有发觉你喜欢的那些服装是为“成熟”人土设计的?

I respect people that age gracefully. It seems like many people feat getting older. They don't want their wrinkles to show. I have to confess.I have a few gray hairs! Oh no! Even though the body may get old, I think people can be young at heart. My father fits right in when he plays with his grandkids. It's not awkward at all. He comes up with the best games. He may not be able to jump on the bed like the kids do, but he can wrestle and dance and go for walks and play catch. His mind is deep and his heart is warm.

我尊敬那些优雅老去的人。很多人似乎都怕变老。他们不愿意自己的皱纹显现出来。我得承认我已经有几根灰白的头发了！哎呀，不可以这样!!|即使身体老了，心却不能老。我的父亲就能跟孙辈们玩得很开心。他们看上去很和谐。最好玩的游戏都是我父亲想出来的。他也许不能像小孩那样一下子蹦到床上去了，但他能摔跤，跳舞，玩传球游戏。父亲的思想很深邃，心态很年轻很热忱。

I hope I age gracefully. like Dad

我希望自己也能优雅地老去……就像父亲那样。
