清晨的空气是如此清新,早起,做完户外运动,新的一天又开始了。大家好,欢迎收听并学习《Faith口语课堂-天天学》,我是Faith老师。今天的英语学习也要开始了,你准备好了吗?
首先,来认识两个词:
Reliable:adj. 可靠的;可信赖的
Unreliable: adj. 不可靠的;不可信任的;不稳定的
The news comes from a reliable source. 这消息来自可靠的来源。

The postal service here is very unreliable. 这里的邮政服务很不可靠。
She has proved herself unreliable. 她的表现说明她靠不住。
下面,来谈谈年龄。今天我过生日,满18岁了。满18岁了用英语如何表达呢?I turn 18. 用“turn“这个动词,就可以表示你满多少岁了。下面我们介绍更多表达年龄的方法:
When I turn 30, I'm going to have a baby. 满30岁时,我打算要个孩子。
At the time, I was in my early 30s and wanted to do something that would utilize my creative capabilities. 当时我三十岁刚出头,很想做点什么可以好好利用上我那创造力的事。
I'm in my late 40s, and I’m still single. 我都快50岁了,仍然单身。
You look quite young. You must be in your mid 40s. 你看上去挺年轻的。也就40岁吧。
I should guess his age at about 30. 我猜她30岁。
He became a popular singer at an early age. 他在早年就成为了一名著名歌手。
最后,年龄的表达还可以用:above,below,above 35(35岁以上),below 16(16岁以下)
This style is popular among women below 40. 这种款式在40岁以下的女人中很受欢迎。
This movie is only for adults above 36. 这部电影只供36岁以上的成年人观看。
你今年多大了呢?想猜猜我的年龄吗?呵呵,女人的年龄永远是个mystery。
