变老和变老都不是以前的样子了！我们对人类和我们自己变老的想象正在经历重大的转变。今天出生的婴儿可以预期活得很长--至少在富裕的西方可以活到80多岁。那些我们称之为婴儿潮一代的人（出生于第二次世界大战结束和20世纪60年代初的人群）已经在长寿方面处于领先地位，他们的父母也做得不算太差。这是一个相当显著的人口结构转型，它得到了大量的政策、媒体和学术关注，但并不都是非常积极的。
Becoming and being old is not what it used to be! How we imagined people and ourselves would grow old has been undergoing significant transformations. Babies born today can expect to live very long lives – well into their 80s – at least in the affluent West. Those we refer to as babyboomers (a birth cohort spanning the end of World War II and the early 1960s) are already pioneering long living, and their parents haven’t done too badly either. This is quite a remarkable demographic transformation, one that has received plenty of policy, press and academic attention, not all of it very positive.
