答案解析

参考译文     
大多数人不愿意谈论年龄,尤其是对年过30的女人。想到变老是很痛苦的,我们大多数人,如果有可能的话,都不想沾它的边。不幸的是,变老是谁都不能例外的。结果,许多人竭力想永葆青春。所以,他们最不愿别人问他们:“你多大年纪了?”
对这个问题可以有这样几个回答:“你认为我多大了?…‘30左右。我30多岁了。咱们不谈这个了吧。”“我记不得了。”“噢,别问我这个。”“比我希望的要老得多。”
然而,如果你很想知道某人的年龄,你也是可以打探得到的。首先,你估算下他的年龄;然后,从你的估计上减去l0岁。当然此人会冲你绽放笑容,还会说,“哇,你是我最好的朋友。我早就38岁了。你能相信吗?”你当然会回答,“不,我不相信。你在开玩笑吧。你看起来连28都不到。”
答案及解析  
推理题。文章中说许多人不喜欢谈论自己的年龄,尤其是过了三十岁的女人,但没有说明男人乐意谈论年龄。
