How Old Are You?

How Old Are You? One day , some friends were talking. They were talking about how old they were. James said,"I am seven years old. My brother is older. He is twice as old as me, How old is my brother?" "That's easy," said Ellen. "You are seven. He is twice as old as you. So, your brother is seven plus seven. He is fourteen years old." Then Jane said," I am eight. I have a baby sister. She is half my age. How old is my sister?" "That so easy!" yelled James. "She is half of eitht. So ,your sister is four years old." Chris was thinking hard. There was something on his mind. Then, he asked,"How old is a dinosaur?" "A diosaur?!" said the puzzled children.

你几岁了 有一天，小伙伴们在一起聊天。他们聊天的内容是关于他们的年龄。 詹姆士说：“我今年7岁了，我哥哥比我大一些。他的年龄是我的一倍，他几岁了？” “这个太容易了。”艾伦说。“你今年7岁，他比你大一倍，所以，你哥哥的年龄是7加上7 ，他今年14岁了。” 然后简说：“我今年8岁了。我有一个小妹妹。她的年龄是我的一半，请问她几岁了？” “这个太容易了。”詹姆斯喊道：“她的年龄是8的一半，所以你妹妹的年龄是4岁。” 克瑞斯正在沉思。有个问题一直在他的脑中盘旋。然后，他问：“你们说，一只恐龙有几岁？” “恐龙？”这个问题可把孩子们难住了。

"Yes. How old is a dinosaur?" said Chris again. The children thought really hard. "A dinosaur is old--- very old," said Ellen. "A dinosaur is millions of years old. A dinosaur is old,old,old!" The children laughed. James said. "A dinosaur is older than all of us combined!"

“是的，一只恐龙能有多少岁？”克瑞斯再次提出问题。 孩子们很努力地在思考这个问题。 “恐龙的年龄一定，很老，很老。”艾伦说。“一只恐龙恐怕得有上百万年的历史。恐龙的年龄非常非常非常老。” 孩子们都笑了。詹姆士说：“一只恐龙的年龄比我们所有人加在一起都要老呢。！”
