版主强大呀。都可以用英文对话了。我是彻底失望了。脑袋真的装不下了。每天背5个单词第二天还剩四个到第十天就一个也不剩了。不做无用功了。走捷径吧。

What is 'age of consent'?

What is 'age of consent'?

（有道解释）
age of consent
合法年龄；承诺年龄（指可以结婚或进行性行为，而不触犯法律的最低年龄）

bigcrow

The age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be legally competent to consent to sexual acts, and is thus the minimum age of a person with whom another person is legally permitted to engage in sexual activity. The distinguishing aspect of the age of consent laws is that the person below the minimum age is regarded as the victim, and their sex partner as the offender.

due diligence = 功课（为进行某项目之前所做 以便切实理解和防止被骗）。

E.g. Please do your due diligence before signing the contract / putting down the deposit (to buy a business etc.)

Wellbeing = 优良状态 （生活/精神 等等）

This policy threatens the general wellbeing of the entire population.

Regular exercise can improve not only one's physical health but also their mental well being.

看到一位13岁家长的感慨，挺有意思的： Well, as a parent, you may still be useful for a few things, like doing the laundry and providing transportation. But other than that, to a thirteen-years-old, you are nothing but old and old-fashioned. Your accumulated wisdom is boring; your efforts to keep up technology are a joke; and even your wardrobe is embarrassing.
