篇一：Chinese Senior Citizen

　　提綱

　　1.中國已成為老齡化國家。

　　2.老年人的生活現狀。

　　China has become a country with an increasing number of old people. By old people we usually mean persons over the age of sixty. We often call them senior citizens instead of old men to show our respect.

　　中國已經變成一個老年人越來越多的國家。我們通常把年紀超過六十歲的人稱為老年人。為了表示我們對他們的尊重，我們經常稱他們為退休者而不是老年人。

　　Most senior citizens retire or no longer work full-time. They usually live in their own houses not far from their children's, while the children of a few senior citizens have gone abroad and work or study far beyond the oceans. For certain senior citizens, tile years after retirement are not very enjoyable. First, they feel that their lives lose meaning for being at home all day. In addition, they may feel lonely, especially those without children around. Moreover, they become more concerned with their health, as they grow older, and worry a lot about their safety. At the same time, many senior citizens enjoy their lives. They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising their families. They spend their time travelling, doing exercises or watching TV. They get together with their fellow members who have the common interests and equal free time.

　　大多數的老人退休或不再做全職工作。他們通常住在離自己孩子的房子不遠的房子里面，但是一些老人的孩子們已出國學習或者工作。一些老人，退休后的日子并不是很愉快。首先，因為整天待在家里讓他們覺得自己的生活失去了意義。此外，他們會感到孤獨，特別是那些孩子不在身邊的。再者，隨著他們年齡的增長，他們更關心自己的健康，并且很擔心自己的安全。同時，很多老年人也很享受他們的生活。他們有空做一些在他們工作或者養家的時候不能做的事情。他們旅行，運動和看電視。讓他們與其他有著共同興趣和相同時間的成員在一起。

　　In fact, there are some still continuing their work, not just for money, but to show their value. However, no one really wants to be old, and perhaps all like to be young forever.

　　事實上，有一些還是繼續他們的工作，不只是為了錢，更是要證明自己的價值。然而，沒有人真的想變老，或許大家都想永遠年輕。
