會話知識百科
1 years old的year為可數名詞，其復數形式（＝2歲以上）year后面需加s; 故讀成years old; 但當描述2歲以下（＝1歲）時，則需將s拿掉，例如：我1歲＝I am one year old.

2 teens （＝teenagers）指的是13-19 歲的少年， 其中不包括10（ten）， 11（eleven）， 12（twelve）; 因為從13（thirteen）-19（nineteen）的英文詞里才有teen這個詞尾。

3 在不明確是幾歲，但略知是20幾、30幾或90幾歲……可用下列敘述，例如：in her 20s.（＝在她20幾歲時）She started to play the piano in her 20s.

4 同上述，若在20出頭（＝20-25）就加early, 例如：in her early 20s; 若指的是20靠尾（＝26-29）接近30時，就加late，例如：in her late 20s.
