【课文原文】
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must beat least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on thestage 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 blackstockings. Last year in anotherplay, she had to wear short socks and a bright,orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she alwaysanswers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
