至于更具体的应用场景和句子,如例句:“Adults come to camp at 2 pm,” was broadcast over loudspeakers outside.类似的表述句子也可以结合环境情景去做表述例如:"Everyone above 18 is called adult now.” ("现如今大家都18岁便喊一声大人"。). 一般修饰用于电影影评例如" “Looking back at The English Adult that talks To an Internment Girl which surpassed our expectation ,it's so lovely and funny" (回看这部《英国成年人对谈自闭少女》它超出了我们的预期,它既可爱又有趣。)这样的表达其实可以用来修饰更多关于电影中成年人与儿童或者未成年人的故事。以上例子仅供参考,具体情况需要根据实际语境进行表述。
