age的基本意思是“年龄”“年纪”,引申还可指“长时间”, age还可指具有某种显著特征,或以杰出人物命名的历史时代,也指地质学、考古学中的“时代”。
age表示“年龄”,可用作可数名词或不可数名词,表示“时代”,是可数名词,多用作单数形式,且以大写字母开头。
age笼统指个人或多人的年龄时常用单数。但如果分别指各人的年龄,或age后面跟各个具体的年龄,这时常用复数。
age表示“年龄”“年纪”时,与介词at连用,当表示“时代”“时期”时,与介词in连用,表示“长时间”时,要用介词for,表示“同龄”时,要用介词of, of可省略。
v.(动词)
age的基本意思是在不长的时间内“长大,老化,变老” “使苍老”。
age还可指“(酒等)变陈”或“存一段时间再用”,往往表示因历时长久而变好,尤其指味道变醇厚。
age可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语。
age的现在分词有两种形式：ageing和aging,前者更常见些。
age的过去分词可用作前置形容词,表示“…岁的”“年老的”。

析 age在作“年老”解时是抽象名词,即是不可数名词,因此不能用复数形式。
