adult

“Hordes of people, children and adults alike, dressed in elaborate wizard costumes, stood in line for hours at the Coop to purchase copies of the book.”

成群结队的人们，无论老少，都身着精致的巫师服装，在超市外排了数小时的长队购买这本书。

“What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.”

我曾倾注毕生心血的成果消失了，这令我痛不欲生。

“And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity.”

等到他们长大成人时，大多数孩子已经失去了这种能力。
