一对老年夫妇英文

a couple

a couple 例句:我们隔壁住著来自美国的一对夫妇。Next door to us there's a couple from the USA.

英语中的Derby and Joan这一短语,出自十八世纪英国的一首民谣。老Derby与妻子Joan相亲相爱、形影不离。渐渐地,它就成为恩爱夫妻的代名词了。”笔者查阅著名的网上词典OneLook Dictionary,有九种词典给出了Darby and Joan的释义,内容基本一致,如The AmericanHeritage Dictionary of the English Language的释义和注解为:Anelderly married couple who live a placid,harmonious life togetherand are seldom seen apart.[Probably after Darby and Joan,acouplein an18th-century English ballad.]一对老年夫妇的名字被用作恩爱夫妻的代名词是一有趣现象,只是Derby似应拼作Darby。那么该成语来自十八世纪英国的哪一首民谣呢?据维基百科全书(Wikipedia),该成语最早可能出现在1735年《绅士杂志》

They are a senior couple taking care of each other.
