地道美语听力练习:岁月催人老

Julian:What is that, another gray hair?!

My hair is already thinning on top.

I don't need more gray hairs.

Vera:I think salt and pepper hair looks great on men. It makes them look distinguished.

Julian:It makes them look old.

Thank God I don't have a receding hairline -yet.

Vera:When you get to be my age, you won't worry so much about graying hair.

There are a lot of other things to worry about.

Julian:Like what?

Vera:Forget I mentioned it. Showing signs of age isn't something to be lamented.

It's natural and part of maturing as a person. It gives you character.

Julian:Stop being evasive. Like what?

Vera:Okay, like wrinkles and age spots, deafness and memory loss.

Julian:Gee, thanks. If I ever need to talk someone off a ledge, I'll give you a call!
