Now we have more than 264 million people aged 60 and above.我们国家老龄化人口日渐增长，目前60岁及以上的人口超过2.64亿。elderly / ˈeldərli/ adj. 年长的在描述老年人的时候，通常不会直接说 old people，而会用更委婉，也更尊重一些的单词，就是这个 elderly，比如年长的夫妇，the elderly couple，老年人群体，the elderly，老龄化人口 elderly population.The program is intended to provide medical care for elderly people.这个项目就是为了给老年人提供医疗服务。Our country is entering an aging society. / The population is aging.我们国家进入了老龄化时代。age /eɪdʒ/ 变老age 做名词是表示年龄，年代；还可以做动词，表示变老。这里教大家一个句子，夸长辈肯定会很受用。You haven't aged at all.你一点都没老。获取节目完整音频、笔记和片尾的歌曲名，请关注威信公众号「早安英文」，回复「加油」即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！
