标题:Why Japan is the perfect place to turn 50

A significant birthday feels less so in a country that has become a global pioneer of ageing — for better and for worse

正文：So. A big, round-numbered and menacing birthday coming up in a few weeks. Not to give too much away, but in the month I was born, Momoe Yamaguchi’s Fuyu no Iro was electrifying the charts, Terror of Mechagodzilla was about to hit cinemas, and Okinawa was busying itself with last-minute preparations for Expo ’75.

知识点：round adj. /raʊnd/

a round figure or amount is one that is given as a whole number, usually one ending in 0 or 5整数的；尾数是0（或5）的

• Make it a round figure—say forty dollars.凑个整数—就四⼗块钱吧。

• Two thousand is a nice round number—put that down.两千是个不错的整数—记下吧。
