(我还不能喝酒。) How old are you? (你多大了?) May I ask how old you are? (我可以问您的年龄吗?) May I ask your age? (我可以问您的年龄吗?) *比较礼貌的说法。 我48岁。 I'm forty-eight. 你的体重是多少? How much do you weigh?

What's your height? 1米80左右。 About one-hundred-eighty centimeters. *美国不用公制单位,而用foot英尺计算(1英尺大约30厘米,复数是feet;1英大约是2.5厘米,复数是inches)。 我身高5英尺3寸。 I'm five feet three inches tall. I'm 5′3″ tall. I'm five three. *口语中常用这种省略说法。
