Septuagenarian：“古稀老人”拜登的競選路能走多遠？

誰將代表民主黨在2020年大選中迎戰特朗普？目前，這個問題的答案似乎指向前副總統喬·拜登。對此，時報專欄作家查爾斯·布洛在最近的一篇文章中稱：“我們不需要用一個七旬老兄來代替一個七旬暴君。”(We don't need to replace a septuagenarian brute with a septuagenarian bro.)

“Septuagenarian brute”指的是特朗普，“septuagenarian bro”則指拜登，特朗普與拜登同為1940年代生人，所以他們都屬於“ septuagenarian ”，即“70多歲的人”、 “年逾古稀之人”。
