首先感谢du小佑,终于给我平反,从黑屋中无罪释放.第一次答题.
答:首先可以排除CD.
我们平时说某人的年龄时,非常熟悉的说法是:He is fifteen years old.
这是一个主系表结构的句子.表语的中心词是形容词old,fifteen years 是名词短语作副词用,修饰形容词old的.
口语中常省略,说:He is fifteen.大家都知道,这句话表达什么.尽管字面意思是:“他是十五”.不会往他身高、体重上去想.
没见到过He is fifteen years.的说法.原因可能是,主表不搭配:“他(是)十五年”.表意不清.因为15 years是一段时间.人不是时间.
有 XX years of age的说法.of age可以看作 years的限定.
查一查权威词典呢!
剑桥高级学习词典:
age 1 noun [C or U]
the period of time someone has been alive or something has existed:
She was 74 years of age when she wrote her first novel.
He left home at the age of 16.
牛津高阶英汉双解词典
age 1
[C,U] length of time that a person has lived or a thing has existed 人所生活的或事物所存在的期间; 年龄; 年岁; 年纪; 寿命:
What age is he?他多大年纪?
* He's six years of age/six years old.他六岁.
朗文当代英语词典:
Dad retired at the age of 56.
海词在线词典 :
He died at the age of ninety.
结论:A 是完全正确的!倒是at the age of 15,词典上见到的只有作时间状语,不怎么看到作表语的.
所以,不是B.
