Chinese Senior Citizen
提纲
1．中国已成为老龄化国家。
2．老年人的生活现状。
China has become a country with an increasing number of old people. By old people we usually mean persons over the age of sixty. We often call them senior citizens instead of old men to show our respect.

中国已经变成一个老年人越来越多的国家。我们通常把年纪超过六十岁的人称为老年人。为了表示我们对他们的尊重，我们经常称他们为退休者而不是老年人。
Most senior citizens retire or no longer work full-time. They usually live in their own houses not far from their children's, while the children of a few senior citizens have gone abroad and work or study far beyond the oceans. For certain senior citizens, tile years after retirement are not very enjoyable. First, they feel that their lives lose meaning for being at home all day. In addition, they may feel lonely, especially those without children around. Moreover, they become more concerned with their health, as they grow older, and worry a lot about their safety. At the same time, many senior citizens enjoy their lives. They feel free to do things they were not able to do when they were working and raising their families. They spend their time travelling, doing exercises or watching TV. They get together with their fellow members who have the common interests and equal free time.

大多数的老人退休或不再做全职工作。他们通常住在离自己孩子的房子不远的房子里面，但是一些老人的孩子们已出国学习或者工作。一些老人，退休后的日子并不是很愉快。首先，因为整天待在家里让他们觉得自己的生活失去了意义。此外，他们会感到孤独，特别是那些孩子不在身边的。再者，随着他们年龄的增长，他们更关心自己的健康，并且很担心自己的安全。同时，很多老年人也很享受他们的生活。他们有空做一些在他们工作或者养家的时候不能做的事情。他们旅行，运动和看电视。让他们与其他有着共同兴趣和相同时间的成员在一起。

In fact, there are some still continuing their work, not just for money, but to show their value. However, no one really wants to be old, and perhaps all like to be young forever.

事实上，有一些还是继续他们的工作，不只是为了钱，更是要证明自己的价值。然而，没有人真的想变老，或许大家都想永远年轻。
