聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
Why doesnt Aunt Jennifer tell anyone how old she is?
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, ‘Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up! ’

我的姑姑詹妮弗是位演員,她至少也有35歲了。盡管如此,她卻常在舞臺上扮演小姑娘。詹妮弗很快又要參加一個新劇的演出。這一次,她將扮演一個17歲的少女。演出時她必須穿一條鮮紅色的裙子和黑色的長筒襪。去年在演另一個劇時,她不得不穿短襪和一件鮮艷的橘紅色的衣服。一旦有人問起她有多大年紀(jì),她總是回答:“親愛的,長成大人真可怕?。?rdquo;
