Robbing the cradle :to date someone much younger than he is 与比自己年轻的异性约会; 老牛吃嫩草
My wife has a friend who is 30 years old. Her husband is 50 years old! Can you believe that? Her husband is really robbing the cradle! 我太太有一个三十多岁的朋友,她丈夫50多岁,你信吗?她丈夫真是在老牛吃嫩草!
Babe in the woods : is naive and lost and confused and doesn't know what he's doing天真无知的人
I have a friend who just became a teacher. He really is confused at work and has no idea what he is doing. He is like a babe in the woods! 我有一个当老师的朋友,他对工作很迷茫,不知道该做什么。这样的他就像一个迷失在森林里的孩子。
Act your age not your shoe size: to act like an adult not a kid! 成熟一点,有点大人的样子
Even though I am a parent and I am getting older all the time, I always feel like a child in my heart! My wife is always telling me to act my age not my shoe size! I am 40 years old but my shoe size is 12! (That’s an American size) 尽管已为人父母,我也一直在变老,但我感觉自己心里仍然像个孩子。我太太总是告诉我要有点大人的样子,40岁了还像个12岁的孩子!
But I will never grow up! I will be young in my heart forever! It’s what makes me happy!
但是我不会放弃(做个孩子),在我心里永远都会住着一个小孩,这使我很快乐!
(咦感觉在说我,要把这句话搬走~)
Example
Remember age is just a number and doesn’t define you, you are always as young as you think you are in your mind and your heart!
记住,年龄只是个数字并不能定义你自己,只要你心态年轻,你就会永远保持年轻。
