2-- If they are just like us, they are not middle-aged.

1-- Of course they are.

2-- Middle-aged means in the middle, Ethel, middle of life. People don't live to a hundred and fifty.

1-- Oh, we are the part on the edge of middle. That's all.

2-- Oh, you know, we are not middle-aged. You're old, and I'm aging.

1-- Oh, fool! You're nearly seventy and I'm in the low sixties. Would you like to spend the rest of the afternoon squabbling about this?

2-- I can if you like.

1-- 他們是一對幸福的中年夫妻，就像我們一樣。

2-- 要是像我們一樣，他們就不是中年人了。

1-- 當然是。

2-- 中年意味著在中間，埃塞爾，一生的中間時段。可是誰也活不到150歲。

1-- 哦，我們是在中年的邊緣，如此而已。

2-- 你知道，我們不是中年人了，你老了，我也不年輕。

1-- 哦，傻瓜，你快70了，我也是60多。你打算就這一點和我爭論到天黑嗎？

2-- 行啊，只要你愿意。
