"The sunny side of 20" nghĩa là gì?


"The sunny side of (an age)" = mặt chiếu sáng -> nghĩa là hơi trẻ so với mức tuổi (20, 30, 40,...)

Ví dụ
(Singing) Melindy was a mousy (lắm chuột, nhút nhát) living in a little housy and her life was one of wonderful ease. On the sunny side of 20 with a poppa (bố) who had plenty, her life was just a bowl of cheese. One day a kitty said, my, but you're pretty. I love you. Mousey near died, but replied, why I know nothing of you. You're just a kitty cat.

Despite still being on the sunny side of 30, I was given a great deal of responsibility and the freedom to put my ideals into practice. As now, I believed in regular exercise, that everyone could learn, and in the equality and infinite potential of each person. I taught and tutored our at-risk students, coached and was the assistant athletic director.

Well, that and the ability to perform precision-tool dancing, to sing on key and to perceive the stage as a snark-free zone, even when extolling Disney World as an earthly paradise or the bliss of having your own personal planet in the afterlife. If the audience wants to hoot at such declarations, it is welcome to. But those onstage must project an unflinching sincerity and optimism (lạc quan). These are traits that come more easily to the young, and most of the performers here are indeed on the sunny side of 40.
