What Does It Feel Like to Be Really Old Knowing Death Is Imminent1?
离死亡不远的老人都有什么感受？
I think a better question would be when is one old? I just turned 70, look 55, feel 30, and have no aches2, pains, illnesses or physical problems of any kind. So while 70 sounds old to a 20|year|old, I cannot think of myself that way.
我感觉问题换成：一个人什么时间才算老？更好。我刚刚70岁，看着像55岁，感觉自己才30，而且并没任何病痛缠身。
70岁让20出头的人听起来老，但我并不感觉自己老。
My maternal3 grandmother lived to be 102. My paternal4 grandfather lived to be 99. I have good genes5, so I figure Ill live another 30 to 40 years, barring any unforeseen incidents6.
我的外祖母活到102岁，我的祖父活到99岁。我有这么好的基因，我觉得我可以再活个3、四十年，除非发生不可预测的意料之外。
It makes my heart glad to see all these answers on 问答 of people in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Because I used to think that at that age, you cant deal with change or technology || but these people do and they use 问答 to help those of us who will be approaching those ages soon enough.
非常高兴可以在问答看到七八十岁甚至更高龄的人的回答。由于我曾觉得到了那个年龄，你就没方法跟上变化和技术，但这群人却可以，他们用问答来帮助大家这类马上踏上高龄的人。
So I want to thank all the old posters here and I hope that when its my turn, I can do the same for the next generation.
因此我想在此感谢那些老答主，也期望轮到我的时候我也可以像如此帮助下一代们。

我已经99了，在过7个月就100了。我独居，需要佩带助听器、视线依然很好，白天黑夜都可以开车。。我与我的一生挚爱结婚70年了，她在7年前过世了。我有很多孩子，都组建了自己美满的家庭，但都居住在国内各地。我是几个组织的积极成员，譬如说阅读。我过去还有一个女友，是位很可爱的女性（才90岁），大家在三年前碰过面，但她过世了。死亡不远了吗？你应该先告诉我什么叫不远。享受生活吧。
