вести себя соответственно своему возрасту, вести себя разумно; перестать ребячиться [первонач. амер.]Yes, she did like saying whatever came into her head; and for a while Abel encouraged her. Now he took no notice or said: ‘Be your age, old girl.’ (J. Lindsay, ‘The Revolt of the Sons’, ch. IV) — Уинни привыкла говорить что вздумается. Вначале Абелю нравилось это ребячество, потом он перестал обращать на него внимание и даже говорил иногда: "Пора уж и повзрослеть, старушка"
I get bored sometimes when people tell me to act my age. Sometimes I act a lot older than I am - I really do - but people never notice it. (J. Salinger, ‘The Catcher in the Rye’, ch. II) — Тоска берет, когда тебя поучают: веди себя как взрослый. Иногда я веду себя так, будто я куда старше своих лет, но этого-то люди и не замечают.
For Christ's sake act your age. (J. Jones, ‘From Here to Eternity’, ch. X) — Ради бога, перестань изображать из себя младенца.
