“autumn year” 是什么意思？

Someone's autumn years are the later years of their life, especially after they have stopped working.

有些人的autumn years指他們生命中的晚年，尤指退休后的。

This period is likened to autumn since autumn is close to the end of the year (as an elderly person is close to the end of his life) and summer is already gone (just as an elderly person's best years are in the past).

這個(gè)時(shí)期被比作秋天，因?yàn)榍锾旖咏荒甑慕Y(jié)束(也因?yàn)槔夏耆私咏谋M頭)，而夏天已經(jīng)過(guò)去(就像老年人最好的時(shí)光已經(jīng)過(guò)去)。

例：

In his autumn years, Peter was able to enjoy his garden a lot more.

到了晚年，彼得可以在他的花園享受了。
