第 17 课 · 青春常驻 Lesson 17 · Always young

我的阿姨詹妮弗是一名女演员。

My aunt Jennifer is an actress.

她至少得有三十五岁了。

She must be at least thirty-five years old.

尽管如此,她仍然经常以年轻女孩的形象登台演出。

In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.

詹妮弗不久将要参加一部新戏的演出。

Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.

这一次,她将扮演一个十七岁的女孩。

This time, she will be a girl of seventeen.

在剧中,她必须穿着鲜红色的裙子和黑色的长筒袜出场。

In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.

去年在另一出戏里,她不得不穿短袜和一件鲜艳的橙色裙子。

Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress.

如果有人问她年龄,她总是回答:"亲爱的,成为大人一定是件可怕的事!"

If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
