职场美语

Your friend looks really gorgeous.

你朋友看起来真靓。

I know. And you know what, he is my age.

是呢。你知道吗，他跟我一样大。

This is my cousin from downtown. He is my age.

这是我城里的表哥。他和我一样大。

Nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you.

重点讲解:

He is as old as me.

He is my age.

as…as…是最常用的同级比较，意思是“和…样…”，如，“我和你一样高”可以说成：I'm as tall as you are.但老外也会用更为地道的表达来表示同龄，那就是He is my age.
