Advice for the Young at Heart | 致“年轻者”的忠告

English Original

A piece of advice for those approaching retirement: if you're only 65, think twice before moving to a retirement community. Everyone else there is likely in their 70s, 80s, or 90s. So, whenever something needs to be moved, lifted, or loaded, you'll hear them shout, "Get the kid!"


中文翻译

给即将退休者的一点建议:如果你只有65岁,在搬进退休社区前请三思。因为那里的其他居民大多七八十岁甚至更年长。于是,每当需要搬动、抬起或装载东西时,你就会听到他们喊道:“让那个‘年轻人’来!”
