今天我们说gray这个颜色

白发苍苍的老年人绝对不是white hair

正确答案是：having gray hair

还记得英国诗人叶芝的那首经典诗歌“当你老了”吗？

When you are old and gray and full of sleep and nodding by the fire.

当你老了，满头白发，昏昏沉沉在炉火旁打盹。

To become gray.

To become old; age.

"Current community services can't keep up with the nation's rapidly graying population.

当前的社区服务跟不上不断增长的老龄化人后步伐。

gray area 灰色地带（含糊不清之处）

Eg.Between these two extremes, there is a lot of gray area. 

在这两个极端之间，有很多灰色地带。

来一个有趣的短语吧

all cats are gray at night / by night

关了灯全都一个样

Eg.In the dark of night, appearances do not matter (because it is so difficult to see anything.

在黑暗的夜晚，外表并不重要(因为很难看到任何东西)。

A: "I can't believe you're going on a date with someone you've never met before! What if you don't think he's attractive?" 

B: "Ah, all cats are gray by night, so it will be fine."

在TVB剧中经常能看到这样的场景

“你有权保持沉默，

但是你所说的每句话将成为呈堂证供”

美剧中警察逮捕嫌疑犯的时候也会说这样的话

这实际上是米兰达权利

下面来科普一下

什么是米兰达权利Miranda Rights ?

If you have ever watched an American crime show, you know about this Supreme Court case. Listen to what the police officer says.

如果你看过美国犯罪节目，你廖洁国最高法院的案子。听警察怎么说。

"You do have the right to remain silent. You also have the right to be represented by an attorney..."

你有权保持沉默。你也有权由律师代表……”

Those rights – the rights not to speak and to have a lawyer – are known as Miranda rights.

这些权利——不说话和请律师的权利——被称为米兰达权利。

1.crime show 犯罪节目

2.supreme court 最高法院

3.remain silent 保持沉默

4.be represented by 由......代表

5.attorney /ətɜːnɪ/律师

a lawyer, especially one who can act for sb in court 律师（尤指代表当事人出庭者）

The police must tell sb who has been arrested about their rights, including the right not to answer questions, and warn them that anything they say may be used as evidence against them.

即警察必须告诉被拘捕者其权利，包括有权保持缄默，以及他所说的话可能用作对他不利的证据）

Eg.The police read him his Miranda rights.

警察向他宣读了他的米兰达权利。

米兰达权利保障了嫌疑人为自己做无罪辩护的砝码

打破了警察权力的垄断，维护了程序正义
