Always young

0:00 / 0:00

原文

My Aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least 35 years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.

This time, she will be a girl of 17. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year, in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright orange-colored dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers.

Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up.

译文

这次,她将是一个17岁的女孩。在剧中,她必须穿着鲜红色的连衣裙和长长的黑色丝袜出现。去年,在另一部戏中,她必须穿短袜和亮橙色的连衣裙。如果有人问她几岁,她总是回答。

亲爱的,长大一定很可怕。
