The adults are short-lived, maybe as little as a few hours to a day or two, depending on the species.
請問這句話要怎麼翻?﹝這裡的adults是指mayfly----蜉蝣﹞
還有The adults are short-lived這句話裡面的lived是要唸成
1.live----居住.活著的唸法
2.live----活的.有生命的的唸法
哪一種ㄋ?

則short-lived構成與唸音:
循1:唸 /livd/
循3:唸 /laivd/ ("life+ed" 須轉為"lived",有如life之複數為lives的轉拼字)

事實上兩種發音都可以,在一般字典上兩種音標都有列出!!Cambridge上還特別指出短音/I/的發音為英美兩國皆可接受的讀音,而/ai/的發音則指屬美式英文所有!

念法應該是第一種,原本的意思是 live shortly,是從動詞變過來的。再者,short-lived有加ed,只有動詞才會加ed,所以應該是動詞的念法。
