Aging and aged

Not only the aged but also everybody is always aging.

We are always changing as at least we are always aging following the one-way nature of time.

  • aging: 老化的過程
  • the aged: 老人們
"Aging is the process of growing older, a process that includes physical changes and, sometimes, mental changes. 'The aged' refers to elderly people, those who have reached an advanced age."

bright and blight

bright: shining, luminous, brilliant
blight: wither, plague

  • Getting lost in love blights her and deprives her bright sunshine smile.
  • Light brights her face, but lightness blights her mind.
