请问下面这道题中,是选A还是选B?
As you grow ______ , you will realize the truth of this saying all the more clearly.
A. older B. old
选A和B都正确。
选项A.older重在与现在的比较,即“比你现在更大/老(older than you are now.")。
选项B.old只是客观地陈述一个事实,即“当你长大的时候(get to an old age),也许是当你七十多岁或八十多岁(maybe in your seventies or eighties)。
B.old的年纪跨度有可能比A.older更大。
