表示年龄或岁数的…years old可以省略old吗

比如下面这句对吗？

Although she is 84 years, my mother is in excellent health.

虽然我母亲已84岁高龄，但身体仍非常健康。

不应省略 old，你的句子应改为：

Although she is 84 years old, my mother is in excellent health. 虽然我母亲已84岁高龄，但身体仍非常健康。

但可以将 old 改为 of age（较正式的用法）。如：

Although she is 84 years of age, my mother is in excellent health. 虽然我母亲已84岁高龄，但身体仍非常健康。

“他十岁”的英文表达：

He is at the age of 10.

He is 10 years of age.

He is 10 years old.

He is 10.

前两个较为正式，后两个较为非正式。
