retire(d)
1.说“就寝”retire不及go to bed普通。
2.a retired officer（已经退休的军官）和a retired professor等表达方式里的retired是不及物动词retire的过去分词用作形容词。
3.注意He is going to retire to Qingdao里在retire后面接to。
4.比较下面三句：
- He will retire next year.
- He is retiring next year.
- He retires next year.
三句都作“他将在明年退休”解。在口语里第二句比第一句普通。第三句有“预定将在明年退休”的意思。
5.He is a retired man, more at home in a garden than in a club等句子里用retired（离群索居的、不喜交际的）现在不及用retiring普通。
