1 the awkward age
Lanny was seventeen... For many youths it is an awkward age, but he was strongly knit, brown with sunshine and red with a well-nourished blood. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 17) — Ланни было семнадцать лет... Подростки в этом возрасте обычно угловаты, застенчивы. Ланни же был высок и строен, со здоровым румянцем на смуглых от загара щеках.
Although she is at the awkward age now, she will probably become a beautiful, graceful young woman. (HAJ) — Сейчас она неуклюжий подросток, но обещает стать изящной, красивой девушкой.
‘How old are you, Bobbie?’ ‘I'm just at the awkward age.’ ‘What do you call the awkward age?’ ‘I'm too old to cry and too young to swear!’ (Suppl) — - Сколько тебе лет, Бобби? - Я в переходном возрасте. - Что ты имеешь в виду? - Слишком стар, чтобы плакать, и слишком молод, чтобы ругаться.
