elderly, aged, old

这三个词均可指“年老的,年迈的”。其区别是：

old指年事已高,接近生命的终点; elderly指已过中年,意为“较老的,接近老年的”,常有尊敬和威严的意味。例如:

She was an elderly woman, perhaps sixty years old.她已是上了年纪的女人,可能有60岁了。

aged指“年迈的”,含有体弱多病、老态龙钟的意味。例如:

An aged woman sat mumbling by the fire.一位年迈的妇女坐在炉火旁,口中念念有词。

elderly, elder

这两个词的区别是:elder表示“年龄较大的”“年长的”,指相对于某人或某事来说年龄比较大; elderly表示“上了年纪的”“过了中年的”,是绝对意义上的年纪较大。例如:

She is my elder daughter.她是我的大女儿。

He's very active for an elderly man.按老年人来说,他非常活跃。
