It is as though a martian came to visit earth and landed in an old - age home where everyone was an octogenarian 這好比火星人造訪地球,卻降落在養(yǎng)老院,觸目所及盡是80多歲的老人。
The octogenarian , who is a vegetarian and has never smoked cigarettes or drunk alcohol , is ready to share his knowledge with others 這位年近九旬的老人是一名素食主義者且從來(lái)不抽煙或喝酒,他準(zhǔn)備將自己的養(yǎng)生之道與他人分享。
To return to our earlier analogy , if the martian became accustomed to a world exclusively populated by octogenarians and then was suddenly presented with a group of babies , he might ask for proof that these babies and the senior citizens were even the same type of creature 回到我們先前的類(lèi)比,如果火星人已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了只有80歲人口的世界,忽然出現(xiàn)了一群嬰兒,他可能會(huì)要求一些證據(jù),證明嬰兒與老年人是否為同一類(lèi)的生物。
