One age had turned kindly old Mr. Green into a curmudgeon ; he never seemed to see anything that didn't displease him, and he always had something nasty to say the people who care to visit.

The words old and curmudgeon often appear together. Sometimes this word is used affectionately, as when we refer to an elderly person who is humorously grumpy form the aches and pains of life. A curmudgeon an be said to be curmudgeonly.
흔히 old 와 curmudgeon 은 함께 붙어 다닌다. 때때로 삶의 고통과 시련에서 얻은 해학적인 심술궂음을 가진 연장자를 언급할 때처럼, curmudgeon 은 애정이 담긴 표현으로 쓰이기도 한다.
