My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. 我的姑姑詹妮弗是位演员，她至少也有35岁了。尽管如此，她却常在舞台上扮演小姑娘。
Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. 詹妮弗很快又要参加一个新剧的演出。这一次，她将扮演一个17岁的少女。
In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. 演出时她必须穿一条鲜红色的裙子和黑色的长筒袜。
Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. 去年在演另一个剧时，她不得不穿短袜和一件鲜艳的橘红色的衣服。
If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, 'My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!' 一旦有人问起她有多大年纪，她总是回答：“亲爱的，长成大人真可怕啊！”
