adj.(形容词)

1. old的基本意思是“老的,年老的”,指人或动物的生命接近结束; 也可指某物存在或使用了相当长的一段时间,即“古老的,古代的,陈旧的”。old还可指某人或某物处于“…年龄的”。引申可指“早已认识的,熟悉的”“以前的,从前的”“有经验的,老练的”等。old有时还可以用于表示一种亲密的关系。
2. ...years old作“…岁”解时old须置于years之后,除用于人外,也可用于物。
3. the old可泛指“老年人”,这时谓语动词应该用复数形式,但在一定上下文中也可以指某个人,这时谓语动词须用单数形式。

adj.(形容词)

old girl, old lady, old wife, old woman

这四者都指“女人”,但意思和用法并不相同:

1.old girl一般用于子女对母亲或丈夫对妻子的昵称,也可用于对任何年龄女子的爱称(如老大姐),有时则用于贬义,是一种讽刺或不尊敬的称呼。在英国学校中可指“女校友”“女毕业生”。old girl还可用作母马的爱称,常译为“老伙计”。

2.old lady和old wife同义,相当于汉语中的“老伴”“老婆”,用于比喻可指“婆婆妈妈的人”。

3.old woman是口语用语,在子女与母亲间或夫妻间使用时意思同old girl。用于比喻可指“畏畏缩缩,行为像女人或办事缺乏主动性的男人”。

old, aged, elderly

这三个词均可指“年老的,年迈的”。其区别是：

old指年事已高,接近生命的终点; elderly指已过中年,意为“较老的,接近老年的”,常有尊敬和威严的意味。例如:

She was an elderly woman, perhaps sixty years old.她已是上了年纪的女人,可能有60岁了。

aged指“年迈的”,含有体弱多病、老态龙钟的意味。例如:

An aged woman sat mumbling by the fire.一位年迈的妇女坐在炉火旁,口中念念有词。

old, ancient

这两个词都有“古代的”“古老的”意思。ancient指发生或存在于很久以前,现在则未必存在; old则指其存在至今的,时间已相当长。ancient所指的时间一般比old长。ancient的反义词是recent; old的反义词是young或new。

下面三句意思相同:

He is five years older than I.

He is older than I by five years.

He is five years senior to me.

他比我大5岁。

下面两句意思不同:

old Tom died a week ago.

老汤姆一周前死去。(未必年老)

ancient指很久以前发生或存在的事物。用于描述历史时，指远古时代。

old指长期以来一直存在着的事物，与times连用指古代，与days连用时指从前或旧社会。
