Retired
最常见义为结束职业生涯领取养老金或储蓄生活；体育与军事中指“退役”。作前置定语时 “a retired teacher” 很自然。
- “My uncle is retired but still volunteers at the library.” (我叔叔已退休，但仍在图书馆做志愿者。)
- “The retired athlete now coaches young runners.” (这位退役运动员如今指导年轻跑者。)
- “They moved to a coastal town after they retired.” (他们退休后搬到了一个海滨小镇。)
法语 retirer（撤回），由 re-（回）+ tirer（拉）构成；英语 “tire”（古义筋疲力尽）亦有牵连，但现代“退休”义主要从“退出岗位”发展而来。
动词 “retire” 加过去分词 “-ed” 作形容词。
不同国家退休年龄与福利差异大；英语里 “early retired” “newly retired” 常见于生活类报道。
- 固定搭配: “retired life” (退休生活), “retired officer” (退役军官)
- 动词: retire；名词: retirement
re-（回）+ tire（疲倦/撤回）→ 从岗位上撤下 → retired。
“The retired pilot still watches every rocket launch on live stream.” (那位退休飞行员仍在线观看每一次火箭发射。)
