That dried-up , skinny old codger could give an informal lecture that took you from the qinghai-tibet plateau all the way down to hainan island , or from the taihang range to huangguoshu falls .
那干瘦老头居然能从青藏高原扯到海南岛,从太行山扯到黄果树瀑布。
He 's a funny old codger .
他这个人可真怪。
But the codger says it 's nothing to do with him .
但是这个老头子说和他没有关系。
Why did you bring me here ? Old codger !
带我来这里干嘛?老不死!
Go to the birthday of a middle-aged man , and you may well hear the old codger claim that life doesn 't begin until 40 or 50 .
