These days, in a culture that values youth and the ability to competently do your job above all else, it's tougher than ever for an unqualified person my age to get by.

在当今这个年轻活力、兢兢业业备受推崇的文化里，像我这不称职而又上了年纪的老头子真是没几天蹦的了。

I seemed to return back to the late 80s, those days of falling thick and fast in words and phrases. I believed in my youth age that living in garden, a rose can be got in fingertips.

我好像又回到上世纪80年代那些语词纷飞的日子，年轻时相信，在生活的花园里，信手拈来都是玫瑰一朵。

As I age, I seem to reflect more on my youth and the older I get the further back I look.

当我成为一个老人时，我似乎想反映更多的我年轻时的岁月，再进一步地回顾一下年老的日子。
