《如何回答Part 3問題—以“Age difference”為例》

　　《從情感表達(dá)來看“年齡/性別/國家/年代”間的差異性》

　　從之前的內(nèi)容來看，我們知道針對“Age difference”類型的問題多數(shù)是從“young people”和“old people”之間的對比展開的，而年輕人和老年人的差異性主要存在于：hobby/ habit/ life experience/ outlook/ appearance/ health。

　　存在這些差異點的原因最主要也是因為年輕人永遠(yuǎn)都在追逐時下最新最潮流的東西，而老年人限于年代和身體的原因，更加關(guān)注于過往和自身。同時，老年人社會經(jīng)驗的豐富性也是成為年輕人想要從他們身上有所獲取的原因。

　　Question:

　　Do young people and old people discuss the same topics?

　　Answer:

　　Probably not. I think young people are concerned about topics like technology and lifestyle. They like to talk about what is trending on social media and what is the latest fashion or fad 時尚. They are also into following celebrities and discussing their lives. However, older people tend to talk more about family and health.

　　“年齡差”的探討里，除了“young VS old”之外，“children VS adult”又是另一組會出現(xiàn)的比較，不過此類對比出現(xiàn)的概率沒有前者來的高。

　　大人和小孩間的差異性還是比較明顯的，小孩子處于一個懵懂的年紀(jì)，他們對于事物的理解更多停留在表面；大人相對而言懂得更多，經(jīng)歷的也更多，所以他們對于事物的理解會更深層次。也正是如此，當(dāng)我們提到“笑點和淚點”時，小孩子會來的更直接，而大人則需要有更深刻的點來觸動他們笑或者哭。

　　Question:

　　Do children and adults laugh at the same scenes when watching a comedy together?  Why/why not?

　　Answer:

I think there would be some scenes where both adults and children would laugh at the same time, probably because the character fell over or did something stupid but I think generally they laugh at different things. Children are more innocent than adults.

They tend to laugh at funny characters, their facial expressions and the things they do whereas adults laugh more at the dialogue. Most children don't really understand all the words and jokes as they go over their head 不知所云.

　　即便以上說了這么多，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)在某些問題的思考上，你就真的很難找到兩者年齡存在的差一點或者說他們的差異性隨著時代的發(fā)展有了本周的縮小，比如：老年人和年輕人對于軟件的使用。

　　我們都知道年輕人在科技上是先鋒，老年人則相對滯后。也正是如此，很多同學(xué)就會誤以為老年人在軟件的使用上是局限的，可恰恰你卻忽略老年人即便在老依舊有繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)的能力，尤其使用手機(jī)成為社會的一種本能時。為此，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)隨著一款軟件的發(fā)展，前期的主力軍為年輕人，之后就會有大批的老年人涌入進(jìn)來，微信就是一個很好的例子。

　　所以我們要具體問題具體分析，并不一定要在所有“difference”類型問題上找出差異。part 3是沒有正確答案的，它更多考察的是你的思辨能力。

　　Question:

　　What’s the difference between apps used by young and old people?

　　Answer:

To be honest, I think nowadays there isn’t much difference. In the past, young people were the ones to use social media and video games, but nowadays the older generation is using apps just as much. They are really good at using WeChat, Tik Tok and even mobile games.
