In British English, the adjective elder is usually only used to describe brothers and sisters. ...her elder sister. You use older to talk about the age of other people or things. Elder cannot be followed by than but older can be. I've got a sister who is older than me. Do not confuse elder and elderly. If you describe someone as elderly, you mean that they are old, but this is a slightly more polite word than 'old'. 'The elderly' are elderly people.英国英语中形容词 elder 通常只用来指哥哥、姐姐，如，her elder sister (她姐姐)。older用于指年龄。elder 后不能接 than，而 older 则可以。例如，I've got a sister who is older than me (我有个姐姐)。不要混淆 elder 和 elderly。elderly意为“年老的”，但比用 old 稍显礼貌一点。the elderly 指老年人。

词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

n.(名词)

elder作名词时,单数形式表示“两个人中年龄较大的人”,其前常加定冠词。引申表示“长辈”“先辈”,指年迈而又有的人,用于具体的人时,其前加物主代词,泛指时常用复数形式。

elder当表示“二人之中年龄较大者”时,多用one's elder的形式,如要比较二人年龄的大小,不能与than连用,要用be the elder of sb 结构。

adj.(形容词)

elder是old的比较级形式之一,但已失去比较意义,成为定语形容词,表示兄弟姐妹中或两个指明的人中较年长者。

the elder可用于人名前后,以区别于同姓名的年龄较小者,可译为“老…”。

elder无比较级和*高级。

adj.(形容词)

elder, elderly

这两个词的区别是:elder表示“年龄较大的”“年长的”,指相对于某人或某事来说年龄比较大; elderly表示“上了年纪的”“过了中年的”,是绝对意义上的年纪较大。例如:

She is my elder daughter.她是我的大女儿。

He's very active for an elderly man.按老年人来说,他非常活跃。

adj.(形容词)

达夫比汤姆年长。

误 Daff is elder than Tom.

正 Daff is older than Tom.

析 elder不与than连用,在句中只能作定语。

☆ 直接源自古英语的eldra，意为老。
