根据下面资料,回答题
A lot of people don´ t want to talk about their age, especially(尤其是) women over 30. The thought of grow-ing older is a painful(痛苦的) one and most of us, if possible, would like to have nothing to do with it. However,getting older is a thing that happens to all of us. As a result, many people work hard to keep young. So the last thing they want is for someone to ask the question, "How old are you?"
People may answer this question like: "How old do you think I am?30 something. I´ m in my thirties.
Let´ s just leave it at that. " "I can´ t remember. " "Oh, don´ t ask me that. " "A lot older than what I would like to
be. "
However, if you really want to know someone´ s age, this is how you could find out the answer. First you esti-mate(估计) their age. Then you subtract(减去) ten years from that estimation. Certainly you will get a big smile from that person who will also say, "Wow. You are my best friend. I´ m 38 already. Can you believe it?" You, of course, say, "No. I really can´ t. You´ re joking. You don´ t look a day over 28. "
Most of men are pleased to tell others how old they are.

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10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。”
