那老者年近九旬，但身体十分硬朗。

That old man is nearly ninety but fit as a fiddle.

他虽年届九旬，但头脑仍然清晰。

Although he's ninety, his mental faculties remain unimpaired.

这个老人极难相与。

The old man was extremely difficult to get along with.

这位老人有点重听。

The old man is hard of hearing.

因此，一旦家中无人赐与老人周到的照顾，与其让老人呆在家中孑立寂寥，不如把老人送进养老院。

Therefore, once home unmanned give old man and considerate take care of, rather than letting the old man stayed at home, as the lonely old man sent into the nursing home.
