<< review queue entry 86119 - submitted by 'agedits' >> I stumbled upon this entry by accident and the English translation sounded like as if it could be a more polite version of 老人 but LLM said it "often carries a colloquial or slightly critical nuance." I was thinking maybe I could add this nuance… not sure if that is really the case though. I thought I will suggest anyways and leave it up to your good judgment. ---------------- Editor: The expression can sometimes sound humorous, self-deprecating, or mildly disparaging depending on context, but I don't think "(slightly critical)" is an inherent nuance warranting a label here. 1) 或者一把年紀的歐吉桑，在網路上返老還童，假裝是個十八、九歲的春風少年兄 2) 今年叫歲七十的孫老先生，加入安麗已經五年，不管是會場、家庭聚會，老先生都每會必到，靜靜地坐著微笑。五年前的他，是個胃部切除了三分之二、每天都在消極厭世情緒中掙扎的胃癌患者，透過看護中心一位小姐的關懷打氣而加入安麗。孫老先生說，一把年紀了，賺錢之事已如浮雲，但參加這些「年輕人的聚會」，好像是一次又一次的團體情感治療，別人不因為他沒有什麼業績表現而吝於關懷，而他也就以忠誠回報。 3) 呂光華的好友秦如就說，當初他們受邀時，總覺得自己一把年紀了，哪還學得會唱啊跳啊的， Lu's good friend Li Chin-ju says that when people are first invited they always feel that they are too old to learn how to sing or dance. 4) 到了一把年纪的男明星他们不缺钱为什么不结婚呢？ |
