本期译文

     Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”

 这个译文有意思。我来试试。

Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”

henry metcalf是一位54岁的记者，他明白养育孩子要花费不少。不过他担心的是在那之前自己的精力已经首先耗尽了。当然了，骑自行车的时候，他还跟得上自己动力十足的小学五年级的孩子，但他知道，心理年轻不意味着真的年轻。最近他已经开始依靠午睡来保持精力。“我的身体在衰老。”metcalf说，“这你是跑不掉的。”
