My father is approaching the age of 65.
He actually thought he could just sit at home, eat, sleep and watch TV, tried that, but it turned out to be way too boring and he never expected what was coming his way in a couple of years.
So after retirement, he put his knowledge and experience to good use and started working as a management consultant. He takes on projects in western and southern India from time to time and travels when needed.
Otherwise, he loves sitting on the rocking chair in our sunny balcony and reading the newspaper.

我父親快65歲了。
實(shí)際上，他認(rèn)為他可以坐在家里，吃飯，睡覺，看電視，試過了，但結(jié)果證明太無聊了，他從未預(yù)料到幾年后會(huì)發(fā)生什么。
所以退休后，他充分利用自己的知識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，開始做管理顧問。他不時(shí)在印度西部和南部接手項(xiàng)目，并在需要時(shí)旅行。
除此之外，他喜歡坐在陽光明媚的陽臺(tái)上的搖椅上看報(bào)紙。

His schedule was pretty relaxed until last year when, unfortunately, my granny and mom were both incapacitated one after the other. Even with hired help, the dependency on him didn’t disappear.
At his age, he is changing diapers, cleaning them when the nurse is on leave, cooking delicious meals, managing the household, undertaking some of the daily chores, paying bills, shopping, and a lot more.

他的日程安排相當(dāng)輕松，直到去年，不幸的是，我的奶奶和媽媽一個(gè)接一個(gè)地失去了工作能力。即使雇了幫手，我們對(duì)他的依賴也沒有消失。
在他這個(gè)年紀(jì)，他會(huì)換尿布，在護(hù)士休假時(shí)清洗尿布，做美味的飯菜，管理家庭，承擔(dān)一些日?，嵤?，支付賬單，購物，還有很多。

I help him as much as possible by taking care of online technology-related stuff, anything that can be done from half a globe away. He is probably more interested in recipes and the kitchen now than I am.
I would love for him to sit back, relax, watch TV, and enjoy the fruits of his glorious professional life.

我盡可能多地幫助他處理與網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)相關(guān)的事情，任何遠(yuǎn)在半個(gè)地球之外也能做的事情。他現(xiàn)在可能比我更對(duì)食譜和廚房感興趣。
我希望他能坐下來，放松一下，看看電視，享受他輝煌的職業(yè)生涯的成果。

But not everyone has that luxury.
Many senior citizens continue to be involved in one thing or the other unless they are medically unfit and unable to move around.
Some work for money, to pay their bills since Govt doesn’t give a pension to everyone
Some work for productive engagement of the brain, to remain mentally active
Some don’t have another choice and work out of helplessness
Some just can’t retire and take a back seat, so they’ll continue to boss around other family members

但并不是每個(gè)人都有這種機(jī)會(huì)奢侈。
許多老年人繼續(xù)參與這樣或那樣的事情，除非他們身體不健康，無法四處走動(dòng)。
有些人工作是為了賺錢，因?yàn)檎唤o每個(gè)人養(yǎng)老金
有些工作是為了讓大腦發(fā)揮作用，保持精神活躍
有些人別無選擇，只能無奈地工作
有些人就是不能接受退休退居二線，所以他們會(huì)繼續(xù)對(duì)其他家庭成員發(fā)號(hào)施令

With advances in medicine and awareness in people, most seniors are pretty fit in their 60s and wouldn’t want to bore themselves to death by turning into couch potatoes.
Even if they want to, it’s totally their choice.

隨著醫(yī)學(xué)的進(jìn)步和人們意識(shí)的提高，大多數(shù)60多歲的老年人都很健康，他們不想無聊到死，變成沙發(fā)土豆。
即使他們想要，也完全是他們的選擇。

評(píng)論翻譯

Denise Perry Williams
Most 65 year olds can’t retire anymore. Most are active running businesses and taking care of families. The threshold of saving enough for retirement has changed, and most 30 year olds that think 65 year olds sit around on their asses are heading to a rude awakening. A great majority of successful businesses are run by people in their 70’s… and 80’s. Healthy older people who can actually take care of bullshit.

大多數(shù)65歲的老人現(xiàn)在都不能退休了。大多數(shù)人都在積極經(jīng)營企業(yè)和照顧家庭。為退休攢夠錢的門檻已經(jīng)改變，大多數(shù)30歲的人認(rèn)為65歲的人無所事事的觀念正在猛然轉(zhuǎn)變。大多數(shù)成功的企業(yè)都是由七八十歲的人經(jīng)營的。健康的老人能解決好這些屁事。

Ponnambalam Chandramohan to Denise Perry Williams
Exactly True which is also happening with me……I am 72. I work with the same zeal as I was 55 and earn double of what I was in 55. Thanks to passion on profession, daily walk/physical exercise/yoga/breathing exercise/Meditation. And above all my family treat me with good value and take care of my nutritional food and other domestic needs.

完全正確，這也發(fā)生在我身上……我今年 72 歲。我的工作熱情與我55歲時(shí)一樣，但收入是 55歲時(shí)的兩倍。感謝對(duì)職業(yè)的熱情，每天散步/體育鍛煉/瑜伽/呼吸鍛煉 /冥想。最重要的是，我的家人非常重視我，照顧我的營養(yǎng)食品和其他家庭需求。

Good for your Dad, it's wonderful to see people engaged and happy in their 60’s!
I'm 66, this is my workshop. I purchased my house and outbuildings 6 weeks ago. The primary reason I chose this property is this huge building to use as a work area. I have plans to do so much, and I'm getting things put together a little a time. But if I didn't have a place to work and build things I'd wither and die. Retirement in my estimation is the opportunity in life to finally work for yourself, attaining YOUR goals!

真為你爸爸高興，看到人們?cè)?0多歲的時(shí)候還沉浸在快樂中，真是太好了!
我66歲了，這是我的工作室。我六周前買了我的房子和附屬建筑。我選擇這個(gè)房產(chǎn)的主要原因是這個(gè)巨大的建筑用作工作區(qū)。我有很多計(jì)劃要做，我正在把事情一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)地打理好。但如果我沒有地方工作和建造東西，我就會(huì)枯萎和死亡。在我看來，退休之后是人生中最終為自己工作，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己目標(biāo)的機(jī)會(huì)!
