"Stricken in years" -> Cách nói giảm nói tránh để chỉ những người già và ốm yếu/lờ mờ.
Ví dụ
My first night back in Blighty, I sat all evening at the kitchen table drinking wine with a charming, courteous (lịch sự, nhã nhặn) English gentleman stricken in years.
On that very day of January 1, 1973, as I was well stricken in years, I felt the desire to write my memories. My children and grandchildren and their children will thus know what I have lived and experienced... They will know the suffering, the labour, the doubt, the desperation (sự tuyệt vọng)... and above all how I have always risen and stood firm (đứng vững) in order to reach the goal I set for myself.'
By many accounts they had a happy marriage. Of their relationship, Emily's son-in-law (con rể), Lord Shaftesbury wrote, "His attentions to Lady Palmerston, when they both of them were well stricken in years, were those of a perpetual courtship (sự tỏ tình, tìm hiểu liên tiếp). The sentiment (câu chúc tụng xã giao, truyền tình cảm) was reciprocal (lẫn nhau, đôi bên); and I have frequently seen them go out on a morning to plant some trees, almost believing that they would live to eat the fruit, or sit together under the shade."
