美国学者《the American Scholar》文章 这个文章我选来，是因为雅思作文中有关于老年人口比例增加对社会影响的题目 A Country for Old Men Having reached the shores of seniority himself, the author finds a surprising contentment in the eyes of his fellow retirees 接近老年 reach the shores of seniority 发现。。。认为。。。find...in the eyes of ... 退休的人retirees 作者 ：By Edward Hoagland More and more Ive been concluding that by middle age most people in this country have sculpted their lives so theyll land about where they aimed to. 很多人在中年的时候就已经把自己的生命雕刻成形，所以他们很快到达自己既定的目的地。 注意本句子中by...后面主句是将来时间，完成状态 The few who genuinely aspired to be rich or famous will probably become so for a spell, and those who wished for comfortable stability will find themselves with tradecraft competence, a web of friendships, grandchildren. 少数真正梦想发财成名的人会成功一阵子，而那些希望过着安逸稳定生活的人就会发现自己子孙满堂，具备侦探一样的技术能力，有一堆网友。 括号内的增添内容，是我根据原文增补的，这样似乎更容易理解。 |
